    The government has a great "virtual" trip across the country you can do--i started it last year and made it to kansas before winter hit!

    Go to this link and register--it's free! You then enter your daily mileage and if it's cycling, walking, etc. And it shows you where you are in the country, virtually. I found it a great motivating tool.

    Bamboo--that's great you've done that many miles cycling so far! The winter here has been horrid--we got 3" of snow Monday! snow2.gif

    Congrats on the power cleaning. I need to motivate myself to do that too. I have decided that I have to get at least 2 miles everyday, but only got 1.8 today because I had a personal training session and that kicked my butt. Great job to everyone, you are all an inspiration! :happy:

    I think that's a awsome idea. Unfortunately it's too cold here to drag my kids out in the cold and a gym membership is just too expenssive at the momment. I guess I'll just have to make it a summer goal. Thanks for the great idea!

    I decided to change the distance I want to travel. I live in Northern California and have decided to walk/jog/run/elliptical to Ocean City, Maryland. The distance from my house to the Ocean City City Hall building is 2,889 miles so I just rounded up to 3,000. I'm hoping to get there by the end of the year.

    OK, so I'll join in the fun. I'm kind of new to the site and I've been running for a bit. My sister and I may run a half marathon in a couple of months if we're ready. Wish us luck.

    So I created this ticker to track the mileage. Need some help on how to update it. Thanks!

    Forgot to post in, just put my ticker up when the thread started. I'll walk most of my miles but just like the old "tortoise" I'll get there!

    I have the same question as cesblusk- once you have the ticker, how do you add to it? do I have to go back to the site, update it, get the new code, and paste it in my signature every time I add mileage?

    that seems like a lot of steps- there is probably a shortcut I just don't know yet, right?

    anyone?
