It’s time for another 30-day challenge. This one is different than previous challenges, because there won’t be a whole lot to say about my progress. That’s why I want all of you to participate and walk 50 or 100 miles with your dog in March. Think you can do it?
All you have to do is keep track of how far you and your dog walk (or run) in the next 31 days. Hey, if you don’t live in the tundra and are able to Rollerblade or bike with your dog, go ahead and count those miles too. If all the ice actually melts around here by the end of the month, I plan to take my mutt out biking and really add up the miles. The point is to get out there and exercise with your dog more than you normally would. That could mean 50 miles or it could be 100 miles. Pick what is challenging for you.
One hundred miles over 31 days is an average of 3-4 miles per day. Not too bad, right? If you and your significant other take turns walking the dog (what’s that like?), then add your miles together. You could walk 100 or even 200 miles between the two of you.
I know Ace will be excited about this challenge because he always wants to go for a walk. We all know our dogs need more exercise, so I hope you’ll participate. If you do, let me know about your progress!
How many miles do you plan to walk your dog this month? Ace and I will shoot for 100.
That sounds like a great idea! I’m going to see if we can get 100 from Gussie. He goes hiking with us quite often and gets walked a few miles each day otherwise so we’ll see if we can do it. He can definitely use the exercise!
I will do 100 starting in late May. Right now I can not get around as much as I would like because of ice and the amount of dogs we are fostering. When it is warmer, I will start getting them all exercised more. I have lung troubles and the cold air really hurts. My dogs would love you guys!!!!
I am going to be a bit more conservative and aim for 50! I’m sad to say that wold be a big improvement from what we are doing now… You guys are a big inspiration!
Well, I don’t count but I guess we probably do about that.
You can probably triple the distance we walk them because they are always running around like loons outside all day as well.
When they are not inside either sleeping or stinking up the place that is!
Hey Kari, if you do 50 miles that would be great!
Three Dog, when I let Ace run off leash he probably goes twice as far as me from running around like crazy. I should strap the GPS watch to him and see how far he goes.
Apryl, I’m excited that you and Gus are up for the challenge.
I’ll aim for 50 – 75 miles this month.
Awesome! Can’t wait to read about it!
I am going to try for 50 miles this month, and up it to 100 by May when that blasted snow should be all gone. Our trials have been so icy that we haven’t been walking so much because I don’t want to fall down. This winter the mud will be welcome.
thanks for the great challenge!

That’s great! Glad you’ll be participating!
