I keep seeing these 100 mile challanges.
Basically you try to go 100 miles in a month. That includes walking, running, swimming, eliptical, bike, etc.
It sounds like a great idea... but a LOT for a beginner... I was thinking of doing a version of that for beginners...
Anyone wanna join me in doing 25 miles in January?
That is 1,25 miles a day. Totally doable!

    I am down for it! does this have to be outside walking or does walking at home count too? I found an online video in 2 parts for 2 miles!

    It can be either. If I had a treadmill I'd make it 50... but it's winter and COLD. lol

    finding... you can totally guestimate. I'd totally allow it!
    I'm proud of everyone for trying this. It's fun to challenge yourself.
    I look forward to excercising more because I have this goal to reach.

    thats really good bysshe. I've been trying to swim 2 miles a day 6 days a week. much prefer swimming to walking, less impact on the joints and i love the water. This group is criminally underused

    3 miles today!
    26.5 miles!!!! I think I want to keep going... see how far I can go til the end of January!!!
    @ Fred
    My challenge was to include all forms of excercise! So, yes, swimming counts. I think I'm going to do a 40 miles challenge starting febraury 1st. You should join!
    That's 1.3 miles a day, as February has 29 days this year. I think it's totally doable. If you are gonna do a day off, you could always do 3 miles the day before and the day after. Makes you appreciate the day off more. And it puts you a bit ahead of where you'd need to be :D
