Fitsherry- Glad to hear your new shoes fixed your shoe problem & I hope your computer starts working for you too.

Good job on all the miles to both of you!

Another busy weekend and no exercise :explode:

I will get my 20 miles in to help us reach our 200 mile goal.

Bstamps-Thanks for updating for our team!

Fitsherry-Yes I will be interested in participating in next months challenge. I will be ready to kick butt!

fitsherry

I updated our group total on the June Miles Challenge so we are up to date as of 6/27. We are at 160.43 miles.

Way to go!!

fitsherry

bstamps12

6/29: 3.2 miles

I'll get in quite a few miles tomorrow and I will post before dinner so you can turn in the total miles!

I'm joining the July Miles Challenge, are you guys?

fitsherry

I posted on the July Challenge that the 3 of us would like to join the new challenge but we would need a 4th member. Princess_in_power sent me a message asking if we found a member yet.

Amelia posted:
June Miles peeps: You may keep your original teammates if you choose. If you're missing people, now is the time to recruit!

NEW TEAMS WELCOME!
Every 4 people to sign up before June 1st are a team and each time is competing against EACH OTHER. The team with the most miles this month gets to decide the following month's challenge! I will post the official teams by the 5th.

This makes me think we are supposed to recruit someone and not wait for someone to be assigned to us, maybe I am wrong. So, I told her she could join us.

Just saying a quick hello and "bookmarking" the tracking thread

Welcome Princess in Power! :flowerforyou:

princess_in_power

Hey Team, I have a question for you (I asked on main challenge and did not recieve a response)

So I'll ask you guys. :flowerforyou:

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 me counting _some_ of my miles this way?
I think it's fair conversion.
I understand TOTAL biked miles not equal (and aka not allowed ),
but if I convert them this way, I think it becomes fairly 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!!


Edited to correct grammar, lol

Princess, if your question wasn't answered on the main challenge then I would send a message to amelia. It would be great if you can because bstamps does alot of biking too.

Loveme, you did great this month. It sounds like you had a lot going on and you were doing insanity, WOW. I just started 30 day shred and had a hard time walking the dogs a little over a mile, can't imagine doing insanity. I didn't make the last 20 miles either but I plan to do more in July.

Bstamp, you did great. You're at 78.46 (plus today) miles, WTG!! You're very dedicated to your tri training and that is inspiring.

Way to go Sole Sisters!!!

Okay, I've reposted, I'll wait for a response, then send her a personal message

bstamps12

Yes, getting to adjust my biking miles would be fantastic!!!

My miles for today: 3.71 hike after bike ride. Total of 82.17 for the month. This has been my best month yet on MFP. I usually do a lot of other workouts but I have been super dedicated to my miles. I've also gotten to get outdoors and into nature with a lot of hiking (I guess there is one benefit to living in middle of nowhere, AR). I really enjoyed this challenge with you guys this month, looking forward to next month! I've got 2 5K's in July so I'll be running more often too.

fitsherry, you had a lot to overcome this month but I'm glad you are ready for the coming month!

loveme-like fitsherry said, you got in quite a few miles while doing Insanity! Awesome!

Are we going to use this thread for July too or make a new one for July?

princess_in_power

WOOOHOOO!!!!!!!

divide Bicycle 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::

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!

SHE GAVE THE GO AHEAD!!!!! =D

bstamsps-You did an Amazing Job! Thanks for your dedication to our team. I think we should start another thread for July once we find out what our team # will be. Amelia said she will post the July teams on Tuesday. So, we can track our miles for July 1st-4th on this thread until then.

princess_in_power-Thats Great! I downloaded the spreadsheet just in case I get some bike miles in this month. Thanks for the spreadsheet!

fitsherry-Thanks for posting our updates! :flowerforyou:

Let's Go Sole Sisters!

FYI: Im not doing Insanity anymore so I'll be getting more miles in this month! :bigsmile:

loveme445

I just signed up for a 10K on July 23rd. So, this should help keep me running this month

fitsherry

That is great that part of bike miles can be counted.

I also think we should start a new thread for July, we have a new team member and new motivation. I don't think we should wait for our team number, we have a team name so I don't think the number matters that much. I started a new thread here:

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/278742-sole-sisters-july-miles-challenge

(We can always start another one if ya'll disagree with me on the number.)

Loveme, I'm sure I'll tell you again but good luck on your race.
