Hi Everyone that followed this thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/250511-june-miles-challenge and newbies alike!

It's a new month, it's a new challenge!

****THE CHALLENGE WILL NOT START UNTIL JULY 1st....THEME TO-BE-ANNOUNCED (we're still wrapping up June's challenge)****

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.

RULES:
1. Group names are a MUST! It's fun!
2. Elect a team capatain within the first week, PRIVATE MESSAGE your captain your miles.
3. Captains should post totals Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

We will be using THIS formula to give every person/team credit for their miles:

TEAM NAME

Miles as of (DATE):
TEAMMATE 1- 1 miles
TEAMMATE 2- 2 miles
TEAMMATE 3- 3 miles
TEAMMATE 4- 4 miles

Total TEAM NAME miles total- 10 Miles

Some things to keep in mind:
It's basically like every other challenge we've done so far except you're only keeping track of YOUR miles and adding them to YOUR TEAM.
It's just for fun so don't worry about "bringing your team down", this is all just encouragement to keep everyone moving their bodies!
Unfortunately, bike miles don't count because it effects the curve between running/walking miles too much.



Runners, Walkers, Swimmers and Eliptical(ers?) all welcome to join.

GOOD LUCK!

    Recruit me! Recruit me! Training for a marathon and the miles are starting to get up there for the long runs. I'll join a new team too if anyone wants to start one, but I don't want to be a captain.

    I'm down for something like this. This will give me the motivation i need to actually get out there and walk. Just a tad difficult to do when it's summer in Arizona

    New Recruit! =)

    Also was wondering, if we divide our biking miles by avg walking speed
    For Example :: 2 miles @12mph on bike would equal .33 walked miles @4mph
    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)

    Two of my team mates (bstamps12 & loveme445) & I would like to join the July Challenge. We lost zaidasky fairly early in June so we will need a new team mate.
