New month starting and a new challenge. Had some people drop out of September. I hope that October brings some good success for all of us.

Soooo.... Who's in?

I'm in!! My goal is to log 45 miles this month! With my current half marathon training plan I should be running 12 miles a week which would be 48 miles, but I thought 45 would be good enough!! I also will be running in a 5K event the 19th!!

Here's hoping to a good October!!

Nice! I like the mileage goal.

I thought this thread is where we congregated and got drunk drinking October Fest beer.

Love that goal! Let's get on it!

First round's on me!

<sorry for the hijack, I could just really use a beer right now so it's on my mind!>

No hijack. That is what this month's challenge is all about. Talk about how it's all going for you personally, and how your health goals are working out for you. Any side tracking is all good, because it all plays into the picture in whole.

Me, I've been on the wagon for the most part for this month (September). I did fall off for a weekend camping upstate, but the rest was all good. Last night I poured myself a nice, small, glass of port and enjoyed it to the fullest.

I've been way off track this past month. October though is mine. I will own it. And drink some beer while doing it.

I am in, My goal is to do some cardio each day and not just weights

I like this idea better.

What are your goals this month, Steve?

I like it, Sylver


So, Carinna, are you in?

Easy.

Get back into the swing of things physically. I've been far to lax on my diet (as in not eating enough) and my workouts (as in not doing enough).

Life has been terribly hectic and I've let this side of things take a backseat. Happens and I'm okay with that. But I'm ready to to hit it full steam again.

I started bulking on Monday and I started a new weight lifting schedule. I'm feeling great.

I'm in as well. Goals....hmmm...sticking with my cardio/strength training, not slacking off on it, and trying to eat enough. And maybe getting to....uhm....315 lbs in the process.

And I don't like beer...so you can have mine as well, Steve!

Damn, San! 315 by November 1 would be great.

Steve, how do you measure your bulking? Is it increased strength ( more weight lifted) or size, (measurements/weight)?

Strength is a faulty metric for the sole reason that you can get a lot stronger without growing any muscle at all.

That said, I primariliy go by measurements and weighings.
