I would love to join this! Please put me down for 100 miles please!

dinos

Those of you with TickerFactory tickers ..... are you including them in each post or is their some way to set them up so they appear each time you post? Thanks in advance for your advice

I would like to know the answer to this too!

No response to the question ..... but it looks like the code is being pasted into each post. Correct me if I am wrong!

Yes, you have to paste it every time in your post.

I want to get in on this! 40 miles for me, running. Let's do this!

Excellent challenge. I'm in for 200 miles this month.

I love the MYAC idea! I'm going to try for 100... heading down to the gym to get my first 6-7 on the elliptical now :-)

This is the 24th consecutive month we've been running this challenge. I'm tracking it at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0As57uSwFQUGJdC1OU0dvNEdQSXpWQzhfYjdTb1plWnc#gid=80

Remember to post DISTANCE moved so far. Keep in mind that the challenge is about miles, NOT minutes, NOT calories, NOT pounds lost, just distance moved. FYI the average monthly distance covered by each @ss-mover is 61 miles.

What a huge undertaking. Thanks for doing this!

I started my month off right with a brisk 2.55 mile walk. On my way to 70 miles or more of @ss moving in October!

I'm in for 300!

How do I add my miles ticker to my page?? I made one at tickerfactory.com ... and here's what it gave me to cut and paste... <a href="http://www.TickerFactory.com/exercise/wweStiR/"&gt;
<img border="0" src="http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wweStiR/exercise.png"></a&gt;

But I don't know where to put it here in MFP to have it show up on my page or in my posts.... and also from tickerfactory I clicked on the part to post it to my facebook, but all it did was take me to my facebook page... didn't add a ticker anywhere... booo :-(

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'm going to go do a few miles on the elliptical now, hope I can figure out how to put that info on a ticker when I get back...

mariiyah

i dont know how to update this properly on the ticker site. :ohwell:

NataBost

Cool concept! This is my first one - I'm in for 50. Hopefully I'll go above that!

spikesmom

I normally don't do this, but I need to PUSH myself, so I'm posting that I will do 3 miles tonight on the elliptical! This way my guilt will get my butt on that stupid machine, as opposed to staying on the sofa

Tomorrow is my day off from work, and I spin first thing in the morning, so i will let you all know if it worked for me when I come on to post my spin miles.

I have never done this challenge, but I need something (or someone) to kick my butt this month. I did 4 1/2 miles today on the elliptical. 6 days per week/4 miles per day=24 per week. Think I will make 100 miles my goal!

Determinedgirl02

I'm in, this will be my 1st one! Going for 50.

SweetMe1

I don't run, but I do bike every morning and walk in the afternoon. I'm setting the following goals for myself for October:

200 miles biking (right now I'm biking 6 miles per day x 31 = 186 so that's just 14 more miles a month)
40 miles walking (right now I'm walking 30 minutes at 2.5 miles an hour x 31 = 38.75 miles)

It's not a huge increase, but it will keep me accountable! Let's go!!!

Hellbent_Heidi

Just throwing up my ticker....I kicked my month off in a big way this morning by biking 15 and running 1 1/2 miles!

Sarah_SweetPea

First time ever. I'll aim for 30 miles.

leambi

12 miles down, 288 to go.

karenlavinia

Well, y'all are makin' me feel like a goal slacker, but I'm going to join anyway. I have health/physical issues. But lets focus on what I can do!

My goal is to walk at whatever pace is possible 45 miles this month; 1.5/day average. I am also going to lose 10lbs...but that's another thread. LOL

Cryssy27

That was a great lunch walk! 2.49 miles walked! YAY got it to work!

ATclassof2021

OK, my goal was to run 177 miles in September; I got 190. Well this month I have the Marine Corps Marathon on the 28th of October and have to figure in the taper....hmmm, guess I will shoot for 150 this month.

Got a 5 mile run this afternoon (1 Oct)

Valqis

in for 100... hoping to start marathon training in a week or so. so, should not have a problem, hopefully. . . feel free to add

VictoriaFitness2010

laceyfowler
