edited March 5 in Fitness and Exercise
I am participating in a challenge for the month of October. It is to move 45 miles this month… either by way of walking, running, swimming, biking (or any combination thereof). The brother of one of my friends on FB has instituted this challenge in memory of their brother who died from cancer and would be 45 this month. I am participating.

Anybody care to join me?

    I updated the original post to include a link to the challenge if you'd like to make it official. I figure on keeping accountability on here anyway!

    I love a great walking challenge. I'm in. Will we just report back here weekly with our totals?

    I pray for comfort for the family that is missing there loved one. I have friend who is seeing his oncologist I tomorrow, his cancer may be back. I encourage all who are able to donate to the American Cancer Society or any other charity close to their heart.

    Yes. I figure we'll just keep this thread going through October! Thanks everybody! This is the first time I've done something like this. It's exciting to have so many people join with me! A few of my FB friends are doing it with me too. I'm loving it!

    Use the link in the OP. That will allow you to register and make it official. If you'd rather not register...that's fine. Just do it! And yes just complete 45 miles by the end of October. In any form. Walking, running, biking, swimming or any combination thereof. That's only 1.5 miles a day.

    We'll keep this thread going for accountability and support on here!

    Yeah, I figure we'll post on here too! If you signed up through the link, then you'll probably want to update your miles on Daily Mile... But for those who didn't want to sign up... We'll keep accountability on here! This'll also be a place for support.
    Great job on your miles! You're off to a great start!

    Did 5 miles today! I was trapped in a car yesterday and Oct 1st was a lazy day, so decided I needed to catch up today.
