JANUARY MILES CHALLENGE!

amelia_atlantic

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.

Hi I'm Mandy just joined today, need to start exercise from scratch so I will pledge to do 50 miles on the treadmill in January but hopefully more!

Thanks for doing this.

Hi everyone! Hope your holidays were just lovely!

A few quick things:

I've tried to add everyone as friends as they've joined this thread, but if I missed you, please add me! I'll try to keep people motivated and remind you check in through my status.

I personally plan on checking in after every gym session, but I think everyone should log their progress at least once a week...say, Friday?

The first day of the year (and the rest your lives...hardy har har) is rapidly approaching! Good luck!

I like the state idea....I'll be going to Hawaii 75 miles
