I can't wait to start October's 100 Mile Challenge, so I am opening up a thread here. My goal is to make it this time, I was 4 mile short in September, and I am in much better shape thanks to being motivated last month.
Feel free to join me.
Last month thread is here:

I ran a 5K yesterday and an easy 4 mile run in the afternoon.
Feel free to join me.

Both oldies and newbies are welcome to join :happy: as long as you have a particular goal for October. 100 miles is an average goal (: that I think many can make that in a month.
If you like to make your goal shorter or longer - just indicate that in your ticker.0 -

Ellipticals are fine - the milage is comparable to that of running (or walking).0 -
thanks for joining All - I like October because it is cooler and not too hot!0

Sounds challenging but I'm in!0

I'm in. Do I need to do anything else besides set up a ticker?0

Wow! What a challenge but I'm in!
8 miles down yesterday, finally a cool morning in Florida, I hope it stays this way :glasses:0 -
I am in. Running's going to be difficult as I've just started university, this may keep up my motivation! I hope it works! I'll set up my ticker when I'm back at my computer0

I'm going to try. Today I hit 100 miles in about 2 months since I started running again. Probably the better goal is 75, but 100 will be the stretch goal. I'm done with my current running plan in a couple weeks when I should be running a 5 K through the woods Then I think I'll start a 10K plan, but as I look at them, I'm really surprised the runs aren't longer. We'll see. Thanks for the ticker link.
Question: How do you update the ticker after the next run?0 -

(1) You go back to the ticker link:

(2) then fill in your password/pin
(3) click the "+" or add button and fill in in the milage in your dialog popwindow
for you current workout.
(4) click the next button
that should do the trick.0 -
