Anyone want to log their miles in August?

ladybugss

I would love to but can't for August BUT wanted to tell everyone to go to tickerfactory.com and you can create tickers just for this challenge! Also, anyone using a nike + can join the MFP August Challenge on the nike site for a little added inspiration!

Good luck everyone, hope to join you in September!!

tickerfactory.com.................go!!!

How did you get the tickerfactory on to your profile?

Count me in. This is a great challenge. I log my workout miles on dailymile.com but will also log them here. Between work and workouts, I want to average 10 miles per day. ( I wear a pedometer that I have calibrated with my treadmill and gps.)

I want to make sure I am logging correctly. Is it just running and walking miles or are any sports requiring running also okay? I play soccer a couple times a week and want to know whether or not to include that.

Thanks!

Sounds like a great idea! I'm in.......I try to do 6 miles on my elliptical days..

I'd like to participate as well. I REALLY need some sort of goal to shoot for. I'm going to aim for a minimum of 50 miles in August - but plan to exceed that number. Thanks for the idea - looking forward to it.

I'm in, too. Great idea!

Sweet! I'll join since I want to keep up my running and want some external pressure to do so.

I also typically walk 3 miles/day roundtrip to work. Should I count that too?

i know it actually starts on sunday, but i ran 1.74 miles tonight with hubby.

xlizzislegend

I'm in! I've got a modest 50 mile goal for the month :P

elrob123

Yay I really want to do this too. What a great idea! I think it will help me running on the boring treadmill if I know I have to log in the miles on here!

I'm in too! :flowerforyou:

Are we thinking only workout miles or totals miles per day....for those of us who wear a pedometer all day long?

How about miles biking for runners who bike on their off day?

Yes include those.

I'd say workout miles only, commuting to work (although overall count) should not be included in this challenge.

And BTW, wooohooo on 10 miles per day!!!! That is awesome.

This is a tough one but I'd say no biking miles. Someone challenge me if you think that's not fair. I am saying no because its a walk/run/jog challenge. Opinions?

ebeachgirl

i think it should be like

TODAY I RAN/WALKED XXXX + MY TOTAL THIS MONTH SO FAR = MY TOTAL

MY TOTAL + GROUP TOTAL = XXXX

so that we can have a total for ourselves as well.. not just the group's

This is great but one thing, I think it should also include each person's monthly goal, so maybe this is better (?) :
~MY~ Goal for August: 50
Today I walked 3.3 + ....which makes my total so far this month 10.6

~GROUP~ Goal for month 2000 miles
3.3. is my total for today + 1023 for the Group total so far =
1026 miles

Morning, everone ready to start logging and counting our miles???????
Its AAAUUUUUGGGGUUUSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTT so HeRe We Go!

hkystar

Can I join in? I do my C25K about 4 days a week. I have never thought about how many miles I do in a week or a month. This would be fun to track.

Aug 1 = 4.5 miles

MamaJess

SOUNDS GREAT. I AM NOT A RUNNER (YET) BUT AM A BIG WALKER AND AM WORKING MY WAY UP TO RUNNING. I CAN'T WAIT TO START LOGGING OUR MILES!

MissingMinnesota

~MY~ Goal for August: 70
Today I went 3.25 + ....which makes my total so far this month 3.25

~GROUP~ Goal for month 2000 miles
3.25. is my total for today + 4.5 for the Group total so far = 7.75 miles

BetterVersion

MY goal for August: 80 miles

Aug 1- 4 miles Total Month- 4 miles

GROUP total = 11.75

megatron123

~MY~ Goal for August: 100
Today I went 3 miles + 0 miles which makes my total so far this month = 3 miles total

~GROUP~ Goal for month 2000 miles
3 miles is my total for today + 11.75 for the Group total so far = 14.75 miles total

antiadipose

**~MY~ Goal for August: 80
Today I ran 3.5 miles

**~GROUP~ Goal for month 2000 miles
3.5 miles is my total for today + 14.75 for the Group total so far = 18.25 miles total

ebeachgirl

**~MY~ Goal for August: 200
Today I walked 1 mile

**~GROUP~ Goal for month 2000 miles
1 miles is my total for today + 18.25 for the Group total so far = 19.25 miles total

lmr9

**~MY~ Goal for August: 40 miles
Today I walked 2 miles

**~GROUP~ Goal for month 2000 miles
2 miles is my total for today + 19.25 for the Group total so far = 21.25 miles total

jbuffan218

Count me in.

Today I walked 3 miles + 21.25 for the group= 24.25 Group Total

I could do this, too.
Are you counting just walking/running, or could we add in our miles on the Stationary Bike, Treadmill, Ellipticals,etc?
