Howdy!

Can you do 100 miles in one month? How many can you do? I'd like to see us all hit 100 miles by Halloween. :)

It's a challenge but I think we all could do it. This challenge is to push us beyond our boundaries and see just how much we can do in a given amount of time.

You normally walk 2 miles a day, push to 3. Walk 4 miles a day, push to 5.

You don't have to participate but I'd love to see everyone try it. If you don't hit 100 that's fine. Just push yourself to see how much you can do in one month. The_Wave.gif

Song lyrics that I live by. By Superchick:

"One More"

It feels like I have lost this fight
They think that I am staying down
But I'm not giving up tonight
Tonight the wall is coming down
I am stronger than my fears
This is the mountain that I climb
Got 100 steps to go
Tonight I'll make it 99

One more
Go one more
Yeah, yeah
Don't stop now
Go one more
Yeah, yeah
One more

Go one more
Go one more
Yeah, yeah

I have everything to lose
By not getting up to fight
I might get used to giving up
So I am showing up tonight
I am my own enemy
The battle fought within my mind
If I can overcome step one
I can face the 99

    I'm in! I've made 145.5 for the month of Sept already so I think I can pull this off for another month! Or at least I hope I can.

    Yay! Y'all can do it! :)

    I'm in the same boat as you. I finished Sept at 146.85 miles so I'm bumping it up to 150. If you can do 100 easily bump it up some. :)
    Steps will be 30,000 which is 13,043 steps a day 5 days a week. I'm skipping the weekends because I didn't walk at all on Saturdays in September. I planned on it, it's just that after working out 5 days a week my body is very tired and I can't muster up the energy to walk. So I'm only planning on 5 days and if I get 6 then it's a buffer when I have an off day. :)

    Yay! I'll definitely try to bump it up! I'm aiming for 5 miles a day for the month so hopefully I can hit 155.

    I love this challenge! When you add in all the steps you take every day, the mileage can really add up. I'll be following and offering lots of support and encouragement.

    I was a bit short in my steps today. It was our son's 11th heavenly birthday today and I did as much as I could. Didn't feel like doing another walk this evening. Too tired and emotionally wore out.
    I'm ok with being short because I'm always over my steps. A few short won't hurt too much.
