Default 100 Mile October Challenge

My sister (we'll call her Biker Chick ) threw down the gauntlet and challenged me to a "Walk 100 Miles in October Challenge." I challenged Jennifer, and she suggested we recruit anyone who feels up to the challenge. Ya game? Join in and post your daily, weekly or whatever mileage you feel like posting.

Come on, let's make this October a ...
"WALK-tober."
Wow, I just made that up off the top of my head.

Woo Hoo! I am in, in a big way! Gotta move this keister of mine!

C'mon chickies....we've got to exercise, so we may as well have some motivation.

October 1- the gloves come off, and the sneakers go on!

I like that- Walktober!

I am in. I would love to walk that much next month. This month I did half of that since the middle of the month so should be able to keep up. That would be good and helpful to me.

Well, for what it's worth, I'm in, but only for the sheer amount of exercise part. I'll be on a stairclimber most of the time, 15 minutes = 1 mile.

Let's raise the bar this month, chicks!

Walktober--that's good!

this is a great challenge! I already posted on the main thread that I thought this was inspirational to me. My goal for walking/cycling is 50 miles each, so that's 100 miles!!!

Thanks for setting this up Mary!

o.k. !!! The good news is that I found my pedometer! Yay! And, I have a question...The miles that I get on the pedometer..I do add that in my signature as part of my exercise, right? Or do I just count the time I "exercised" ?

I'd say to count it in your mileage...it all adds up.

I gotta find my pedometer- I thought I knew where it was, but I was wrong! LOL

Gotta brush off my sneakers tonight, and start off the month with a bang in the morning

As long as I can walk it on the treadmill, I'm in... can't walk outside due to allergies/asthma though!

outdoor walks count, treadmill counts, steps count, WATP counts, and stepper "mileage" counts. Anything else that we need to look at considering? I think we've covered most of the bases.

Woohoo! Has everyone started their 100 yet? I have! Only 2 today, but today's only day 1!

Do we get a prize or something if we reach 100 first? We could be crowned Queen of the 100-Mile Challenge or the Walktober Champion or something.

Ok, I'm just being goofy now. Time for sleep. Nighty night chicks!
