    OK, today is Decision Day. Since I signed up for a 1/2 marathon in March, I figure I might as well get started and get busy on pace training without the week off. No time like the present right? I'm scheduled for three miles today, but it's raining like hell outside. If it's just sprinking around 5, I'll go. If it's still nasty rain I'm afraid I'll be off to bad start!!! :)

    Added 4.5 miles! I'm more than half way there. Thanksgiving is next week and my adrenaline is kicking. Is anyone else having a much stronger drive to complete the challenge? A sense of accomplishment is always a great feeling.

    I find that the last 8-10 days are the best for me. I can get in about 4 miles a day.

    i have to agree 100%...this is the first monthly challenge i have completed and been successful at - and i did it in half the time....i have doubled my goal plus one now that i made my original goal by the 15th of the month...i'm so excited to put up another 51 miles before the end of the month....thanks to the poster who started this thread, i forgot who it was but i'm even looking forward to next month meeting a bigger goal....

    i did 2 miles today during lunch and plan on doing another 4-6 tonight on the treadmill while watching biggest loser....

    @ barty I'm good with spreadsheets, but you are bloody good in setting goals and achieving them :bigsmile:

    I am, I am [having a stronger drive] :smile: My best month in terms of mileage so far was August, when I walked 86.1 miles. To have a stronger sense of accomplishment I'll follow bluiz's example and up my goal from 62 to 87 miles, just to break my standing record. Btw bluiz congrats, your decision to double your target is very inspiring.

    If you're interested in the group progress, the spreadsheet is always at the same address, I do my best to keep it updated. Since the chart was well received, 'll post a new chart next Monday.

    Hello!! Well thank you Dinos :drinker: I might be good at achieving goals but finding it soooo hard to keep to goal weight , i'm up and down all the time (much more up than down) and its not looking good today food wise as its my day off and full of temptations!!! :devil: Not so bad on the walking front, have managed 4.5 miles today lol

    Current count 40.5 miles
    Goal 75 miles

    I walked 2 miles during my lunch break (there is a great hill by work- incline burn). It was funny- my claves were literally shrieking in protest for the first half mile! They can't believe I was breaking up their 9 hours of desk sitting luxury to do hills!

    It felt so good- it's beautiful outside today!

    For all you Leslie Sansone fans. I found a walking video at the library called Flat Belly Workout: Walk off Belly Fat w/ Ellen Barrett. She's like the modern day Leslie. It was a great workout from start to finish and I never got bored. her voice isn't as annoying either, so that helps. the video is 30 minutes and then it comes with a bonus 8 minute ab workout. throughout the workout, there are stop and tone segments for abs. She also incorporate small arm movements. Has anyone heard of it? Apparently, its inspired by the flat belly workout book. I don't know how many miles it is, but I planned on logging it as low impact aerobics.

    Going to get more miles in tomorrow. Just wanted to pass that along to anyone who may be interested.

    Hello walking wonders! I hope you are having a good week so far! :D

    Another 3 miles for me today. :) We went and did laps around the mall again (this time a different mall). It was a lot of fun to look at the window displays while walking. I love that! I can just imagine me in those cute clothes!!

    Good work on your 3 miles too. I know how I did last mile after the 3rd one today, I deviated from my regular route just so that I do that 1 mile and match yesterdays. Kept my mind & body pushing for it, need to push it harder ! lol

    Yep I'm glad to have a wonderful & supporting wife, thing is that I feel like not very supportive husband, or rather my support lacks. :brokenheart:

    Bah. Three family members admitted to the hospital this week and they couldn't even be admitted to the same hospital. Looks like my running time is gone for at least this week, maybe next week too. Who know, maybe I'll get a few midnight runs in there. :)

    I walked another 4 miles today. It gets exhausting sometimes, but I am sure the accomplishment will feel great. I give props to those going for high amount of distance, such as 75 or 100 miles.

    I walked 5.6 miles yesterday, short of my original goal to walk nine.:sad: As I was carrying the laptop in my backpack I got cought in a thunderstorm and I had to run and hide; I dont think laptops are very water-friendly :angry: Anyway, I'm still on track to the challenge goal. My plan is to run 5K in the evening if it doesn't rain cats and dogs again. We'll see.

    May I suggest that whenever you update your mileage, please post it in the thread. This helps everybody else follow your progress and also helps me keep the stats updated. Thanks
