Hi Runners,

~~ Who is in for a December Mileage Challenge?

The Challenge is: 50 miles of running minimum, 100 miles or more miles!

We have a 80 runners max for efficient mileage keeping.

*** Checking-in/Joining:
To join, simply let us know your goal mileage, then check in periodically, reporting your total running mileage and what you have done for the day, or if you have a race coming up (I am a race junky!) give us an update on that too.

If you like a mileage ticker, here is a "how to thread" describing how to set up and update your ticker:
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/413332-runners-team-s-howtos

*** Running Mileage:
We only count *running* mileage. Some of us count mileage that is equivalent to running such as the mileage on the ARC trainer or the elliptical. Make sure the elliptical mileage is equivalent to your running mileage (you may consider using "time" on the elliptical and use that to convert to mileage. Email me for suggestions on how to convert mileages.

*** Where to post:
In this (A) thread or in the (B) group check-in threads below at the appropriate end date (or both A and B).
A. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/809786--runners-team-50-and-100-miles-in-december
B. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/660-runners-team-challenge-x-miles-in-a-month (please join the group first)

*** When and Frequency:
We will have check-ins at least once a week on Sundays (see dates on the spreadsheet). It refreshes as the month progresses. Please post updates least once weekly on or before the Sunday check in either the A or B threads or both.

Feel free to update us more ~~ because is fun to hear from you and what you are accomplishing - your updates help us begin inspired.

*** Hall of Fame :
Here you can find your results from previous months:

    Hi Coor. I'm in for a light month. Shooting for 80. I'm going to start training for the New Orleans Rock and Roll half in January, so I figure I'll go easy on myself this month.

    Saw this mid-Nov and decided it could help with incentive being that winter training I run less miles (though more speed work) and the weather affects my motivation. Would like to sign up for 75 miles. My workouts are timed versus miles during the winter but I think 75 would be a manageable goal.

    Put me down for 145 for December! Might be tough as the weather here in Montana is getting a little wintery (haha it is December) but I do have my treadmill (yuck) for back-up. :)

    Hi there!
    I had to take a break in November thanks to an injury, but I'm back in action! I decided, kind of on a whim, to run my first half on January 12. I'm going to shoot for 100 miles this month.

    Thanks,
    HH

    Can I be put down for 50 again?? I'm hoping that my work schedule is finally set. If so, I will get my butt up early a few days a week to get some miles and then run on weekends. Thanks!

    Ran 10 miles today. It felt awesome outside with a light breeze and temp in the 70's here in the mid-west. I couldn't believe how fast I ran the first 5 miles -- below race pace and didn't feel like I was pushing it.
