Hi Everyone! Happy Halloween!
This is a simple mile challenge to help motivate us all to get our butts moving.
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!

    Please add me to group A. Just started and I've been walking two miles a day at a stately pace (if I start too fast I wreck my knees. Seems like the advice to start slow is actually true when you get a wee bit oldish! ;-) So 2 miles Monday, and 2 tuesday 11/1.....
    Thanks!!

    Hey everyone! Happy Tuesday!
    I hope you all did better than I did with the Halloween candy last night. Good news, I got in some miles while trying to work off the insane amount of candy I snacked on :P Also exceeded my previous best of 2 miles/25 minutes continuous running with a new high score of 2.5 miles/30 minutes. I got on that treadmill aiming for just my daily 1 mile run, but the stars aligned for once and I felt great to just keep going. Happy Dance!
    Anyhow, here's your totals so far,

    Current Participants and Totals:

    Group A - 15 Mile Goal
    Melkadee - 3.4 miles completed
    Kimmer2011 - 3.8 miles completed
