Welcome to the Valentine's Day Challenge! We have 6 weeks between now and Valentine's day and I'd say that's the perfect time to get up off our butt's and get some miles in between us and the couch! I know I need it!!!
)This challenge is inspired by one of my favorite sitcom couples: Jim and Pam from the office! They are just so adorable! So we are starting off in Scranton, Pennsylvania and heading to NYC: The closest romantic spot on earth! Time square! Central Park! Empire State Building! Boy, we have a lot of touring to do when we get there!
So its 120 miles from Scranton to NYC. The goal is to move 120 miles. Run, walk, jog, elliptical, swim, whatever your preference! As long as its you moving your body: It counts! We are keeping track daily whenever we log miles on MFP. Just check in with the thread! Here's an example of how to check in:
Goal: 120 miles
Mon: 3.5 Miles (Running)
Tue: 0
Wed: 5.0 Miles (Elliptical)
Total for week: 8.5
Complete Total: (This is for further on when we have accrued more miles!)
Left to go: 111.5
Some people started last week so please just carry over your totals!
If you want a ticker for your signature just go to tickerfactory.com and they will be listed under fitness and exercise. Once you've created it you can copy the code, come back to MFP, click on signature right up top where it says "Home, Recent Posts, My Topics, Signature..." and then paste said code in there!!
I'm excited!!!! Let's do this!!!

I'll probably just check in 1X a week but thought I better get started now while I see the post! I'd hate to lose it; looking forward to this challenge!0 -
I started last week, total mileage was 12 miles as of Saturday, and I did an additional 5 miles today. I'm assuming that Sunday starts the new week, so my total for last week was 12 miles, leaving me with 108 miles to go. Will there be a new thread each week, or will we just continue to post on this one?

Why isn't it giving me the option to edit my post? I posted early and figured I would update it by editing throughout the week as I do miles, but the edit option isn't there??0

Occasionally this happens to me too...Its like a fluke as far as I'm concerned but I could be wrong. Were you just going to re-edit the same post? We will probably just keep posting so we can see each other's progress. Otherwise your old post will just stay back there and we won't know when you've added to it!) 0

Yeah, that's what I was going to do, but didn't think about the fact that people might not go back and see it. So, I guess it works out to just repost after all.

You can only edit a post shortly after you've posted. After a while it goes away. Good for catching mistakes but not good for changing something you've said once someone already commented on it. In fact, i think a post after it is what makes the option go away...0 -

I know I've been able to edit things a little bit after I've written...but what Robin says makes perfect sense! Learn something new everyday!) 0 -
