October Exercise Challenge

[Natasha]

Cool weather is moving in which means it's a perfect time to get out there and walk in your neighborhood. Whether you're a newbie to exercise, looking to change your way of life, or an exercise enthusiast like me...join us!!! You can make your initial post w/ your goal and then add each day (or week or however often you want to add) as you go...I will merge them as we go. Please do not quote your original post as it only makes more work for me when I merge them.

Given my recent failures, I'm not sure if I should bother with this. BUT I'll go for 10 workouts, or 300 minutes, this month.
