lsu2868 708 Posted September 29, 2013 Hey everyone! Great job on your totals for September and a huge thank you to Butterthebean for starting that post and challenging us all to challenge ourselves. We all wish BTB great success and a speedy recovery from his surgery. We know you will be watching and cheering us on. October is among us and with that comes a new challenge. 100 miles in 31 days! Walk, run, bike, whatever you do, log those miles and drink that water! Anyone who has been lurking in the shadows and watching last months challenge, now is your time to join us! It doesn't matter if you do 1 mile a day or 20, just go at your pace and have fun! For those of us who participated in last months challenge, I want to issue a personal challenge to add another 15 miles to what you did last month. After all, there is 1 more day in this month. On a side note, this group has become very motivational for me as well as others. If you don't mind, let's let everyone know your real first name. If you would rather not and just want to go with your username that is perfectly fine. I will kick it off...my name is Ted. Good luck everyone and log those miles!! 14 goldiva, preetyfatchic, ProudGrammy and 11 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kwigillingok 177 Posted September 29, 2013 Oh yay! I'm glad this thread was started. I go back to work on Wednesday and this will definitely motivate me to get some exercise in when I get home at night! Doesn't bother me if people know my first name, it's Ella. 2 lsu2868 and NewSetOfCurves reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterthebean 8,146 Posted September 29, 2013 Glad to see this. I'll be watching and cheering. My name is Patrick.....but more people call me Butter than anything. About the only person that calls me Patrick is the missus.....and it usually means I'm in trouble. 11 back2barb78, NewSetOfCurves, Newme48 and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
