This is a little scarey to me. I am not sure what I am in for but I will committ to eight miles. Let me know what I am committing to. It sounds like eight miles ran or walked in the month of October. Let me know if I am correct!
I am coming off a dislocated shoulder injury and I am feeling a little timid on exercise goals. I have lost 20 plus pounds in the last couple of months by walking and biking (a little) When I say newbie I really mean newbie.
My confidence is waning as I read through your tough guy blogs. I am a baby at this. Well, I feel like it anyway. I do have some background as I use to be a volleyball coach and for a very short time a PE teacher. I have sports in my history but feel as though everything is foreign to me these days. I moved to a very snowy area about five years ago and I tend to be a clutz at every snow sport. I am still trying skate skiing though.
I recently, 3 weeks ago, started biking a little. With the shoulder injury (from playing womens hockey) I have had to lay low. I am still doing 20 minutes of running walking intervals a few times a week. I walk 2 minutes to warm up, run 30 seconds all out, then recover 90 seconds and repeat about five times. I feel better than I have in years but wow, it is babyfood compared to what you guys are talking about.
I have to compare myself to me and in June I could not get my treadmill off of the warm-up setting and just this week I jumped to the redline PERFORMANCE - FAST setting. Talk about the feeling of victory. I was running an 8 minute mile.... well, for 30 seconds anyway. I felt like and olympian runner.
Well, I am sure with the advancement that I have made in the last two months, with persistant and consistant gain I will be running with ya'all in no time.
Thanks for the invite and I will meet my goal for this month.

Thanks,
Cindy

    Hi Cindy,

    Welcome to the October Challenge! My "tough guy" goal for the month is ten miles. (Yeah, I'm tough, huh? LOL)

    So I'll be walking/running right alongside of you. (Most of my miles will be walking, but I'll keep trying to add some running, if my knee permits.)

    You can request to be on a "newbie team", by the way.

    As I said in my other post to you, I'm a newbie, too. But I did the September Challenge, and had a blast. It kept me really motivated, and I actually exceeded my swim/bike goals for the month!

    D.

    I don't really get the 'team' idea. What would it benefit either way, which team you are on or even being a team. Is it a competition of some sort?

    Welcome to the challenge!  Don't worry how your goal compares to everyone elses (you did see the title to this whole website?) 

    The benefits of joining the challenge and being part of a team is that you have others who will inspire you when you fall behind and cheer for you when you succeed.  You'll do the same for your teammates.  You're all in this together, so if one person on your team doesn't hit their goal, all share in the consequences.  (For the boys/girls swim challenge, losers had to change their avatar to a picture of their swimsuit-clad butt.)  That's everyone on the losing team, even those who achieve their goals.  It's all for fun, and I'm still on-line friends with teammates from my first challenge.

    sk2a2005 - 2007-09-30 6:22 PM This is my first challenge so count me in. I hate running and the totals for last month stink. I really need a push to get the mileage up so put me in for 45 miles.  It's a BIG stretch for me but this may be just the thing I need!!!!

    All right girl, another newbie for the team!

    Comet,  Ya know I love ya,  you little whippersnapper you.

    Tritwin,  I will try to hit up Skirtboy.  We can have a little AB challenge on the side once the teams get set up.  I am sure Comet could use some AB work as well...

    Just heard about the challenge, can I get in on this?  I'll go for 70 miles.  But those are Canadian miles.  So they are harder.  Because we use Kilometers.  Not Miles.  And they are in the snow.  With my dog sled team.  Being chased by a Polar Bear. Thanks!

    Ok I'm new here but i guess we all were once. Hence I'll dive right in and pledge 40. Looking forward to this even if I'm still not sure how this will work.

    Ok, this will be my first challenge. Last week was horrible for my workout schedule, I turned back into a slug. So I am hoping that this challenge will give me the motivation I need to get back into a routine of working out and off the sofa.

    My goal will be 50 miles for the month.

    HI Cat,

    I put my name down for the run challenge yesterday but did not see my name on a team list. Can I still be part of this? My goal for October is 30 miles.

     

    Thanks!
