    I think I am on it. Although I dont know exactly how to track my miles as I dont go to the gym often I usually just exercise at home. I have endomondo on my phone but it doesnt always work.

    This is going to make me get on the bike. I can rack up the miles on a bike, but I don't like it. I guess I'll be doing the morning spin class before work on Monday and Tuesday .

    I like this challenge!!

    Good morning:), i doubt that my milage will be grate as i do not go to the gym, outside is really cold down to -19 C(-2F) and for this weekend i have 3 salsa parties so at least 3 hours a night I will be dancing in high heels :D.

    Can you wear a pedometer to track miles while dancing?

    Good question! The plan is to start a new game once this 1st one is over with. Unfortunately, between gathering everyone's weight loss/gain every week and running this current Survivor game takes up quite a bit of Jlc1974's and my time. Plus, I think it would be very confusing if we had 2 games going on at once.

    So, once this first game concludes, I think Jlc1974 and I will discuss if we want to do it again based on everyone's feedback and whether we want to continue ourselves.

    We will keep you posted

    My body media armband tracks my steps, is this ok to log as miles....usually 1 mile is 2000-2200 steps.

    It is pity but i don't have pedometer and with mobile phone there is big chance to brake it. usually we dance at pace from 180 to 220 beats per minute so on average I make 150 steps per minute or 27000 steps in 3 h:D

    I'm sorry guys! I didn't intend to make this too difficult and I wasn't thinking about those who can't track miles. However if you can spare the $5, Walmart has pedometers that would track your miles....

    It is a "challenge" however so if it pushes you to try something new so you can LOG MILES, well, I think that's a good thing!! :wink:

    GOOD LUCK!!!!

    ETERNITY WINS IMMUNITY with 17 miles but WOW!! IT WAS A CLOSE RACE with INSPIREM right behind with 16.5 MILES!!!!!!

    WELL DONE LADIES!!!!!!! :flowerforyou:

    I wish we had a few more participants but this proved to me more challenging to track for some....... I just hope you find the challenges as a way to take you out of your "comfort zone" and get you to push yourself harder than perhaps you would have. :bigsmile:

    Many, just as myself, didn't see this challenge. There are so many threads bouncing around, it got lost in the shuffle for me. Pity for me, I had well over 30 miles & I got the boot from exile this week. boo

    First of all... CONGRATS ON YOUR MILES! Well done! :flowerforyou: :drinker: :flowerforyou:

    I'm terrible sorry you didn't see the thread! But posting threads and members reading the threads is how this system works. No one can possibly reach out to over 400 group members or to the roughly 100 SURVIVOR players individually..... The info and updates gets posted and it's up to each member to read and sort through the threads to keep up with the information. I don't know of any other way........

    Again, I'm sorry but know that when this round is done, I plan on starting another so I hope you'll come back and join us!!!! If it's any consolation.... I'm voted off Survivor too!!!!! I didn't last but a couple of weeks! :happy:

    Can I join this challenge?

    Unfortunately this challenge sign-up has been closed. It wouldn't be fair to the "contestants" playing right now. However, we do plan on starting another Survivor Challege at the conclusion of this 1st game.
