Mile Challenge for 10/17 - 10/23, open group

Good morning everyone! It's a new week, and time for a new challenge!

It seems that our current group is ready for different goals, so this week we are trying something new and offering our group members three different goals to reach for. You can join up to complete either 15, 25, or 35 miles this week. For new and old members, here is a list of the basics for this challenge:

-This is a weekly challenge to chart miles on any exercise equipment or outside running, walking, ect. We welcome anyone who would like to join us, this has become a great motivation for me! I will update the miles daily so we know where we all are. The challenge will run from today until next Sunday, and I will post the completed miles a week from today.

-Beginning this week, there are three separate groups for mile challenge. Group A will be aiming for 15 miles, group B will aim for 25 miles, and group C will aim for 35 miles. Please include which group you would like to join with when you reply to join so I can sort you correctly.

-Post your completed miles each day to this thread. I will update with current totals over my lunch most day, but forgive me if I am super busy and don't get to it until that night.

-I will keep your name on the list if you miss a couple of days, but if I don't hear from you for three days I will assume you've lost interest and remove your name from the challenge. You will still be welcome to join next week's challenge.

-These miles can be completed in just about whatever manner you prefer, and however spread out over the week. However, please don't join the challenge for 15 miles and knock that out in a day, it isn't supportive or encouraging to those of us that have to work for our mile challenge goal.

-This is a friendly challenge! It's okay if something comes up and you can't reach goal. We are here to motivate each other :)

To join the challenge, reply to this thread by Wednesday afternoon with your name and let me know which goal you are aiming for, A (15 miles), B (25 miles), or C (35 miles).

Happy miles to all!

    The equipment I use counts up the miles as you go. Outside biking track how far you've gone, or use google maps to map your route and find the miles that way. I'm not sure about ellipticals without mile tracking, hard to guesstimate on those.

    10/17 1.25 miles

    Yesterday was really busy at work and I couldn't stay at the gym as long as I would have liked. But I was there for 45 minutes this morning and hope to walk at lunch so maybe I can make it up!
