Hi Again, and Welcome to our:

*** Runners' Team * 50+ and 100+ Miles in February Challenge *

We survived January, ready for another round for February? -- feel free to join us again OR now :glasses:

*** Checking-in/Joining:

To join, simply report your goal mileage, and then to check in throughout the month please report your total mileage to date either in:

plain text form, or
via a ticker from tickerfactory.

Example Check-in report throughout the month:

"I ran 5 miles today, I have run a total of 57 miles for the month! :happy: "

And for a ticker, here is a "how to thread" describing how to set up and update your ticker:

*** Where to post:

In this (A) thread or in the (B) group checkin threads here:
A. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/660-runners-team-challenge-x-miles-in-a-month
B. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/475272--runners-team-50-and-100-miles-in-february

*** When and Frequency:

We will have check-ins at least once a week on Sundays (see dates on spread sheet). So it would be good to get updates
- at least once weekly on or before Sunday.

Feel free to update us more because is fun to hear from you and what you are accomplishing - and your updates helps us keep inspired too.

*** Spreadsheet:

We will check point your progress within this thread, and with a spreadsheet snapshot below. This spread sheet will change and refresh as the month progresses.

*** Runners' Team Challenge Group:

We also got a group - it is a bit easier to tally milage from there, but it seems like most of us likes a big thread in the main forum for updates and progress - so we are doing both! [both places will be checked when updating the spread sheet].

*** Spread Sheet & Trophy & Legend:

Loved the focus I gained from last month's thread. I'm in for February. I'll aim for 65 miles. An awkward number, but a reasonable distance up on what I achieved last month.

I got my ticker and since it is warm right now - living in the South - I decided for something that is Spring linke :happy: - maybe abit hopeful since the groundhog Phil said 6 more weeks of winter - hoping he is wrong.

The problem with biking miles is that they are so different from running miles, BUT if it is really important for you to incorporate your biking mileage here, it seems like you need to use some bike to running conversion formula, something like this:

http://www.active.com/cycling/Articles/Convert_your_cycling_miles_to_running_miles_____and_vice-versa.htm

or just simple divide your biking miles by 3 or so.

Welcome to the group :flowerforyou:
