Hi Runners,

~~ It's May, it's May, the lusty month of May! - Want a 50+ 100+ Running Mileage Challenge? ~~

2013-May-Images.PNG

A 50 miles running mileage minimum, but we try to aim higher, 100 miles, or more! :smokin:

*** Checking-in/Joining:
To join, just state your goal mileage, and then check in periodically and let us know what you have done for the day, or if you have a race coming up (I am a race junky!). But don't forget to always report on your total running mileage so it is easier to keep track of mileage. Keeping the week's mileage is helpful 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).

*** 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. (this thread)
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 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 see progress and accomplishments - it is inspiring!

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

*** Current: May Spreadsheet & Trophy & Legend:
To refresh the spreadsheet -> click the refresh button on your browser, or try CTRL+R then CTRL + F5 a couple of times if you are using the Windows OS, or replace the CTRL key with Command key if you are on a MAC, or, Command+R and then Command+Shift+R on a MAC.

    150 miles. Pretty sure I'll hit that but this goal helps with the motivation. Thanks so much for keeping track of this. This is really cool to look at each week.

    Didn't give you my last week in April, sorry! It was a measly 9 miles, trying to rest the knees. I have been doing some killer 'IronStrength' & 'Never Get Injured' workouts though!

    Week 1 - 44
    Week 2 - 23
    Week 3 - 32
    Week 4 - 9
    Week 5 - Nada
    Total for April - 108

    I'll try 100 for May. I'm going backwards!! :(
