By the way, this is off the main challenge thread re: biking miles. Star, I know you bike so you may be interested in this:

Also was wondering,
if we divide our biking miles by avg walking speed
For Example ::
2 miles @12mph on bike
would equal
.33 miles @4mph walked
Would that be fair?
Here is a link to a Calculator I use myself::
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjWq8Ca1b4hfdDdOcTl5azVVNWxuRVNoNHdKc2FaSGc&hl=en_US&authkey=CP-sk6sF
The reason I ask my husband and I work out together and he is currently not able to walk w/an injury, but we ride bikes. (avg 10-12mph for 45min - hour)
Would you guys feel comfortable with bike miles being converted/counted this way?
I think it's a pretty fair conversion. (not scientific, but definitely not an "advantage")
I understand TOTAL biked miles not equal (and aka not allowed ),
but if they're converted this way, I think it becomes semi-comparable?
But it's completely up to you guys! I will have some *actual* walk/jog miles too, just more time will be spent biking w/hubby till he heals.
Thank you guys!!
Sorry I missed it! HI!
I'm okay with that as long as EVERYONE uses that same calculator. I hate to discourage anyone but it was hard to fit in bike miles in previous challenges. I think this method will work.
THANKS!

I saw that calculator, very interesting. I'm gonna try and do this month w/o using the bikes miles...don't think I'll do enough that it'll help the team anyway since I have that race in 2 weeks. Which I'm SO NERVOUS about. Ugg.
F 2.9
S 3.0
S 10.8
16.7 total so far.0 -
It won't let me edit...so I want to add. My ticker and the miles I give here will probably be different. I am counting my walking miles for our challenge, but for my personal records I want to try and do the full 100 with running only. Just a heads up if anyone happens to notice, I'm not cheating ( :
Did everyone have a nice 4th? If you celebrated.0 -
Hey ladies! Hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend! Now it's back to work in getting those miles in. Do you want me to stay captain or does someone else feel like doing it (I don't mind, just wanting to give someone else an opportunity)?
Let's get our totals together so we can post on the main thread where we're at with your miles and scare the other teams!!

Star, I think all other teams are counting bike miles with the conversion formula, so let's count yours too!
Bugn', I wish!
Where did you drive to/from?
My sat miles is 2.29 but may walk another few in a bit...0 -

Do you have 33.3 as my total for the month? Or the total since the last update? If it's for the month, that's wrong. It should be an even 50 based on the 3 posts I've put up for July. Just wanted to check since I don't want us to get shorted.0
