January Running Challenge

Stoshew71 · December 2013

Ok. New year new you. This is a continuation of my December Running Challenge. Anyone can join in. Here the details from last month that applies here again.

Anybody want to join me for a running challenge? Set a goal here and mark it every day here. You can post your progress by creating a ticker at http://www.tickerfactory.com

You can run, walk, or do treadmill. Just be consistent. I am setting a goal for 100 miles. We can help motivate each other. What do you say?

You can set your goal now but wait till January 1 to log your runs.

Info on tickers since I know there will be questions. Sign up for an account http://www.tickerfactory.com and create your ticker.
Then you need to update it after you do a run and post it here. Here is what you will need to do.

If you go into your ticker page, I think the link is:

http://www.tickerfactory.com/ezticker/ticker_designer.php?type=8 << may be slightly different

Then you go to your settings page. Make sure you type your pin in that you set when you created your ticker account.
Then where it says "Your current cumlative value, there is an add button. Just add what you just did and the cumlative value automatically changes. Then hit next.

Now after you added your new miles (or km's) to your ticker you need to post it here.

After you hit next, it will give you a bunch of codes suggesting on how to display your ticker.
Use the one at the bottom where it says Direct Image URL:

It will look something like:
http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/w6K1EiX/exercise.png

To display that correctly in your post, make sure you place the img tags around that link. So it will look, (removing the spaces in the img tags):

[ img ] http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/w6K1EiX/exercise.png [ /img ]

So it will look like this after you post:

In for 30!
(Which feels very small next to 100...but I'm a turtle atm!)

Can't wait!

No problem Stripeness. Welcome. 30 is great.

I'm a little motivated.

I'm in for 100. I've got hm #5 in Feb, so this should help me stay motivated! Good luck everyone!

I'm in! I plan to do 3.5-7 miles a day but have to account for my call schedule. Let me do some planning and I'll report back before the first with a goal!
