    Goal: Now fewer than 3 runs per week. A run must be 3 miles minimum to count.
    Track: Endomondo will post to my wall for friends. I will check in here for the group. I rarely use MFP on a real computer, so this will be part of the challenge.
    Reward: pedicure

    Caveat: I will be hiking/camping in the desert with students for the first week of this challenge. For safety reasons (staying with my students), I may not be able to meet goals for that week. I assure you that I will hike enough to make up for it.

    I think the way I'm going to do this is award one point per week for each person completing their challenge. If we, as a group, earn 90% of our points by May 16th, we will have earned our rewards. This provides enough leeway for a couple of us to have an "oops" but not enough for everybody to blow off a week.

    If you are sick or injured, I'd be open to awarding half points, but we are all busy and over-committed. That's why we're doing this.

    That sounds good!

    I'm in!

    Goal: Eat at no more than maintenance until my half. That should be about 1700 calories net daily+ exercise calories. And stretch daily!
    Track: My diary is open. I will log my stretching daily.

    My reward: A massage! Oh, yeah!

    I'm confused. Have we started already? Or do we start on the 15th of April? And do we post our stats here?

    Kept within my calorie goals for the week, had to be a bit creative when I was on holiday but everything was logged.

    Great job, everybody who's posted so far. It's hard for me to find excuses when you don't :)

    Reporting in...Week one goals met! Stretching is good. My TDEE is higher than I expected, so my daily target ended up being 1830. That seems like a lot, but I managed to use most of it. ;-) Project maintenance in effect. RAWR!!!

    Week 1 done. 4 runs over 3 mi, including a 7.7 miler today. I'll be off the grid for week 2. I'm bringing my running shoes into the wilderness, but I may not be able to get away from my students for real runs. I'm giving myself credit anyway. It'll be enough hours hiking with a pack each day to honor the spirit of the goal, if not the exact letter.

    That's what I found too. I can hardly wait to find out what Laura's maintenance calories look like.

    1830 is a good solid calories allotment that will give you ample room to get all your micronutrients in.

    These are YOUR goals and you planned for this at the outset. I've already put you down as completing the Week 2 challenge.
