    Ok so I just found this thread where I just learned about run the year. I checked out the website and I am excited about it. My hesitation in joining is that it costs money to join. I really don't care about the metals and t-shirt and other stuff. I'd be doing this for my health and to lose weight. Is there a free version of this?

    No, but feel free to track your miles manually and chat with us here

    We are free!!!!

    When I ran a challenge, we had a group spreadsheet that people would update on their own weekly. That would be easy to have if people want.

    Too funny. My bad. I never even thought about creating a spreadsheet for myself. Duh! So I did last night. Simple enough. My goal is to walk 6 miles a day. I'll post my progress often. Who knows I may change my mind and pay the fee. We'll see. Either way, I'm all in!

    I signed up for a HM on 3/3/19 in Little Rock, AR. I found the Darebee HM training schedule and it matches my timeline perfectly so I am going to use it. I still plan to get 12,000 steps daily, I hope.

    We have been a little dead for a while...

    December has been a STRUGGLE for me to move AT ALL. I am really looking forward to RUN THE YEAR starting up in a few weeks.

    Does anyone have a formal plan for January?

    I've had a very good November walking mileage-wise and I'm on a great track for December so I kind of wish I could "rollover" these miles to 2019! But, no can do, so in January I'll start with the same goal / plan as the past few months: get more mileage than the month before.

    So I changed my mind and decided to register after all for run the year! I registered this week! I even told a coworker about it, and she told her 76 year old mother who exercises and runs regularly. I think they'll be joining too. I'm sooo ready for my change!!!!

    Is it possible to track intentional run/walk miles?

    According to my Fitbit I average 10K steps or approx 5 miles per day just from normal activities. Since this is already close to the yearly goal I’d like to push myself beyond it and track intentional runs/walks separately or in combination to normal daily walking.

    I think so. I am about 2 miles a day of SOP - so my plan is to log all above that

    I'd like to run 2019kms for the year; that's 1256 miles.

    Yes, that's doable!
