    For miles, do most people count only exercise miles or do you count all walking (like to and from work?).

    For my first month, I'm only going to count exercise miles and set my goal at 36 miles. 3 miles per workout, 3 days per week is all my kids can handle in the stroller. I use my other workouts to get away from my kids and do an awesome 1 hour circuit training class 3 times/wk!

    I am in, I think i'll post my goal at 50kms. Not sure if this should be higher due to my soccer games. Guess tonight i'll try to wear the polar 700. Will get my ticker soon.

    Do you have to put the link in every time? Or is there a way to get it to always show? I'm assuming you have to go back to the website where you made it to update it too right? And how do you find this post again?

    Okay, I'm all in for August! I have done a lousy job of tracking my miles over the last two months, but I swear I've been moving! :blushing:

    My goal for August is 100 miles, as I changed gyms and will be doing more running and less group fitness.

    Please note, I changed my user name from 4Giules to Jesi0725. Can this be updated on the spreadsheet?

    Happy moving everyone!

    Welcome to the old and new members. This challenge is now into its 22nd consecutive month :glasses:

    Regarding the ticker question: Most of the people here use www.tickerfactory.com. After you prepare your ticker, you have to copy the bbcode and paste it in your post.

    I keep track of the challenge numbers and all sorts of stats at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0As57uSwFQUGJdC1OU0dvNEdQSXpWQzhfYjdTb1plWnc&pli=1#gid=77
    You will not be able to see the August sheet today. We're still in July.

    Remember that after 500 posts (or 20 pages) the thread skips to another address. There will be a link <continued at this topic> , follow it. I'm telling you now as we keep losing people who can't find the continuation of the topic.

    Got it! Thank you! Hope this works!

    I'm in! Hoping for more running and less elliptical this month, so a lower mileage expected. Gonna set my goal at 90 for August. Thanks to both of you for administering this...I am loving it!
