Challenge starts today!!!!

Everyday I will post a thread titled "A Virtual Coast to Coast Across the USA" asking for everyone's mileage. So for example, on May 30th (TODAY) you will just reply to this thread what your sheet indicates for your mileage in calories burned.

Then Leeketty1176 will take everyone's combined mileage and plot it on the map.

Good luck to all participants....... LETS GET MOVING!!!

ALSO for anyone who still does not have the sheet or for those who would like to join us just post a reply to this thread and I (fesse) or lkmmom or FarieMoon will reply to all your questions and concerns!

Here is the link to the spreadsheet is needed:

    NEW COMERS ARE WELCOME TO JOIN!!!

    May 30th called A Virtual Walk Coast to Coast Across the USA. This challenge has been created to give the participants not only focus on their individual health goals but to add a little fun as well.

    There are four aspects to this challenge: personal focus/weight loss objectives, daily targets (things you want to focus on everyday), your weigh-ins and/or measurements, and finally, your training and miles.

    Everyday a log in thread will appear in the MFP forum where you will log in the miles that you walked, jogged, ran, cycled, etc. Then we will combine the miles and plot them on a Google map to see if we can cross the United States starting at New York and finishing in San Francisco.

    If you are interested in participating in this challenge, please respond to this thread saying you want to participate and then go to the following link to print/download the planner and instructions on how to use the planner: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkO9YqLvS00XdDIxN1JtVTdaSlpoTXctX09iUF9IT0E&hl=en_US&authkey=CKHTsdsI

    Please note, the only information that will be published will be the mileage that you gain everytime you work out.

    This challenge will promote focus on your weight loss and asking/giving support when needed.

    So, do you want to see if we can walk/jog/run/cycle across America in 4 weeks?
