FEBRUARY MILES CHALLENGE!!

amelia_atlantic

Welcome to the shortest month of the year! Let's make your goals count!

My January Miles Challenge peeps EXCEEDED the 1000 mile goal. Let's do 1500 miles as a group this month!


We'll be using the same formula to track the group's progress:

____(My Miles) + ______ (Previous Group Miles) = _______ (New Group Miles)

Example: 2.50 (My Miles) + 50 (Previous Group Miles) = 52.50 (New Group Miles)

Runners, Walkers, Eliptical and bike riders all welcome to join.
GOOD LUCK!

Some people (like me!) post every day they do miles but you're welcome to post whenever you want! Whatever keeps you motivated!

Everyone should at least check in by FRIDAY of each week, though. Please and Thank you!

No worries!

Basically, we are all making an effort to exercise more and log our miles. We're going to check in and announce our miles once they're completed. (My total) is then added to the last recorded group total (Previous Group Miles) to get the most recent total (New Group Total) as a group.

Does that make sense?

GREAT JOB EVERYONE!

I haven't log any miles yet because I had a 12 hour day yesterday (work and school) and New England is facing the worst snowstorm in years! Needless to say, the gyms are closed and the sidewalks are non-existant.

I'll be hitting the gym hard tomorrow.

KEEP IT UP! I know 1500 miles is a lot but totally attainable! :bigsmile:

anna441

I did 4.15 miles yesterday

4.15 (mine) + 28.8 (PGT) = 32.95 (NGTM)

nikkicarter13

5.25 miles + 32.95 = 38.2

My personal total....79.83 miles

I'm shooting for 1000 miles in 2011. 2011 in 2011 is awesome! Good luck with your challenge!!!

TeamLeela

2 miles + 38.2 = 40.2

runningneo122

Ran 6 miles, walked 2 miles cooldown


8 (me) + 40.2 (PGT) = 48.2 (NGTM)

amelia_atlantic

HELLO! The roads are clear and the gym is finally open again.

I'm psyched to finally get some miles up here! GREAT JOB so far everyone! I can just taste the 1500 mile victory!

Ran 3.1 (me) + 48.2 (PGT) = 51.3(NGTM)

Hi everyone!

It seems we have an OVER ACHIEVER in our midst! Mr. Toaster88 is currently logging about 600 miles ALONE with biking and running! TOTALLY AMAZING!

As he brought to my attention, that makes him a pretty solidary contributor to our total group miles. I really want everyone to feel included and inspired to exercise. So I'm going to poll you folks:

Should we limit the TYPE of miles tallied to just running, walking and elliptical?
or
Should we increase the monthly goal?

Let me know! THANKS!

Nothing against bikers but they can post high numbers every day that far outstrip the runners and eliptical users. I vote for whatever you can do on your own two feet.

Toaster88

Yes, I can outpace easily. She missed my weekend miles, The number is actually closer to 900 a month (the Wife's gotta ride, too).
