Hi everyone! It's time for a fresh start, and a mile challenge is the perfect way to get your butt in gear!
There are three mini-groups within this challenge. You can join up to complete either 15, 25, or 35 miles over the next seven days. 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.
-There are three separate mini-groups for this 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.
-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. Please include which group you would like to join with when you reply to join so I can sort you correctly, and when you reply with your miles, please list your group. For example, "PlunderBunneh, group B, 3.8 miles"
-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.
-I am not beyond typos and other silly mistakes! If your miles aren't adding up like they should, send me a message and let me know, and I'll look over the spreadsheet and figure out what is going on. Typically, I just entered the wrong number into the wrong place by accident. Promise not to eat your soul if you point out my mistake
-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, not judge.
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!
A quick note to my peeps from the last few weeks: I noticed last week more and more people listing the entire week's miles in each reply. I understand that you are trying to be helpful, but that really muddles my head up. I use a spreadsheet and add on each reply since my last update, so when you list Tuesday's miles twice, I end up confused about whether I have already added that day onto your total miles. Feel free to keep a personal record, and even to add your total miles up and list that, but only reply with what miles you have completed since I last updated the list. Thanks a bunch!

I'm in. The low goal should be about what I hit with my running training. Since I run 3 days a week would I post for example Mon - 2 miles, Tuesday 0 miles, Wend. 3 miles.. etc.. ?

Mile updates gets posted as a reply to this thread. For example, if I weren't being a complete bum and did a couple miles, I would reply to this with something along the lines of
