    I would love to join, I have never done a GO4IT challenge.
    I am 5'2", just barely overweight (but huge for my size :( ) at 137, have had a completely sedentary lifestyle thusfar and would like to change that a bit.
    Thoughts on how many miles should be my goal?

    I forgot to post my goals. I have an exercise bike so most of that will be on it. I plan to do around 10 miles a day biking, so that is like 100 miles counted on this for a month. I think I did the math right :).

    This is going to be a lot of fun. The teams progress towards your goals will be posted weekly.

    And of course you will be bugged by me if your slacking on meeting your reported goals.

    I'm in! I'll go for 125—tough for the first full month of school, but that's what makes it a *challenge*, right? :)

    I'd like to continue please.

    I currently run 3.5 miles 5-6 days a week on average. That would be around 70-75 miles so I'm going to challenge myself to hit 100 miles for the month of September.

    Wow! There are some high goals in this challenge. I'm going to get half of my miles from workout dvd and half from C25K so I'm thinking around 100.
