Scranton to NYC with Love - Week 1

TaraMaria

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 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?

THanks!
