    Hi. I'm Hannah from Dallas, Texas. This is my first attempt at a 100 mile challenge. This will be tough adjustment for me but I think I can do it if I try to fit in more smaller walks to my schedule. Good Luck everyone!

    Hi I am Geetanjali from Mumbai, india. Recently I have been very lazy about exercise. I am hoping that taking up this challenge will motivate me to be regular with my walks.

    I'm Nancy from northern Idaho. I will be turning 62 in May and try to walk 3-4 miles each day. I have started doing a little jogging but really enjoy the walking. We have no walking paths so I walk the streets but do not stop on any corners. My walks are up and down hills as there is not a lot of flat ground. I accept the challenge.

    Hi! My husband and I are in the "early" stages of discussing/planning a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail (2015 or 2016).

    Since the 2014 season starts now for North bound thru hikers (Springer Mountain GA to Mt Katadhin Maine), I thought it would be a good idea (duh) to start walking now to see how "ready" I am...so seeing this group fits right in!!!!

    I'm just outside of Columbus, OH and it's still pretty chilly but I plan to start March 1st...:flowerforyou:

    Hi I'm Lisa from Western New York. I love to walk and hike but have never tried to walk 100 miles in a month before. I'm excited for this challenge, especially as the weather gets nicer (soon I hope, it's downright blustery out there today!). I'm also training for my first 5k, so hopefully it's okay if I count my (very slow) jogging miles toward this challenge too!

    This has always been a dream of mine! I constantly read blogs of those who are hiking the trail and hope to someday have the flexibility in my work schedule to do it myself. How exciting and motivating for you to have something that adventurous to be preparing for!

    Michelle from Nashville, TN.

    2nd attempt...February was rough! :)

    Work a job where I'm tied to a desk for 40 hours a week and really need to keep myself active. (A huge change from walking and being on my feet for my entire shift at the last job.) I'm doing a 1/2 marathon in April, and I've really got to get going on the training, so that I'm not in too much trouble for the race. Love the motivation the groups provide!!!
