Hey y'all!

I'm sure a million of these threads will pop up come the New Year but I wanted to be among the first! Let's start a group mile challenge and see how many miles (walking, running or skipping!) as a group we can achieve!

I'm setting the bar HIGH for 2011:
1000 miles as a group (depending on number of interested people!)
80 miles for myself

The formula to track the miles will be the tried and true:
"_____ (my miles today) + ______ (my total miles) + _______ (total group miles) = ________ NEW TOTAL GROUP MILES"

WHO'S IN?!?

Here's to a happy and HEALTHY New Year!!! :drinker:

    I'm in as long as I can pedal (my knees are not the greatest). I think I can do 200 miles by January 31. I'm at around 190 so far for this month, but I'm doing that 7 day challenge so I expect it to be much higher by the end of the month.
