edited September 22 in Fitness and Exercise
Starting the 25th of october i challenge myself and anyone that wants to get involved to run,walk, or bike their way to 100 miles before the 25th of November (thanksgiving). I have 2 others at work that is willing to do it with me. My goal is to do no more than 60 miles on a bike and the rest by way of running. Who's in? We can stop back and post weekly on our miles.

    awesome then. It shouldnt be that bad. Just a few miles a day. Anyone can knock out a bunch of miles on a bike if they fall behind. Good luck and thanks for joining.

    Sounds good to me. This might just be what I need to challenge myself. Right now all I seem to be doing is 1.5 miles a day. But that is more than I did before.

    I'm in although I only think in kilometers! 100 miles = 161 km so that will be my goal!! I run but since doing my 1/2 marathon a few weeks ago, I haven't had a lot of motivation to get back to it so this will be perfect.

    I am under the impression that the treadmill is fine. I think it is however we want to do it. I am planning on adding my elliptical miles on it so I am hoping that is okay! :smile:

    I'm in! This is just what I needed...realistic but challenging. I am running a 5k on Nov. 6th and this will keep me going instead of "resting" in the days after that. =)
