The first day of fall is September 23rd. Counting today, that means that there are 84 days left of summer! So, to get ready and in shape for going back to school, sending the kids to school, being that much closer to Christmas- would anyone want to do a mileage challenge with me?

The miles could be for anything, bicycle, walking, eliptical, hiking, swimming, etc.

Miles can come from anywhere, going to work, biking to the gym, etc. They don't have to JUST be from s workout, they could be something you had to do anyways.

So, set a goal that is reasonable in 85 days. Don't pick something that's going to kill you and bum you out if you don't make it, but don't pick something as easy or easier than what you are doing now.

Okay, so looking at the 85 days... Maybe just over a mile a day... I'm setting my goal at 100 miles. If I give myself one rest day a week, and walk every other day 3 miles, I'll do my goal 9 miles better.

I also swim. I know that I swim 2/3 of a mile in an hour. I would like to swim 7 miles this summer. That's a little over 10 hours.

Would anyone like to join me? Your goals don't have to be similar to mine, the walking seems like a lot but I walk my dogs, and to and from work, and to the farmers' market anyways.
