edited November 4 in Motivation and Support
I quit doing new years resolutions but I still make goals for myself. Next year I am challenging myself to walk/run/hike 1000 miles over just normal walking around at work and home. I will be using run keeper to track my mileage with GPS and only counting exercise (planned) miles.

Anyone care to join me post up. I won't be updating every day but probably once a week or so.

    I'm an avid hiker and this is a good goal for me . Sounds fun.

    I will join you. I was thinking the same thing. I typically average around 60 miles a month so I'm going to have to push a little more but I'm also running more than walking now too.

    I use Runkeeper too. Good luck to you in 2014!!

    Sounds like a great goal. Y:flowerforyou: ou can keep track with a ticker on myticker.com and post on your feed or also could join us at December 2013 Move Your @ss Challenge which keeps track each month. It is a great motivator.

    I have a similar challenge: doing 1894 miles of walking, elliptical, stairs, and biking in 12 months. Works out to about 5.3 miles per day. I'm 41 days into in with 187 miles complete and am 26 miles behind, but that is because I have only been walking so far.

    I went to the effort to create an elaborate Google Spreadsheet to track all my activity - if anyone is interested in seeing it let me know.

    Everyone is welcome even bicyclists :-) It works out to be 83.3 miles per month. I did 100 in October 80 something in November and with my mom passing and the holidays I only have 76 for December. I really hope to get over 1200 miles but wanted to set a realistic goal for myself.

    20 of my miles will hopefully be with an 11,000 foot elevation gain on the cactus to clouds hike to the peak of Mt.San Jacinto.

    I like this fitness goal. I will probably do it all by walking. I did 427 miles walking last year starting in July 13th with some slacking.

    I use runkeeper so feel free to add me as an MFP or runkeeper buddy.

    Rough weekend, had my mom's memorial service so I missed my Saturday run, I will run today though.

    So far on runkeeper I have 1.03 walking and 4.27 running.

    5.3 down 994.7 to go.

    10.2 total miles walked. I'm at the 1% mark! I changed my goal in Runkeeper. I like how it shows your progress to total miles. Temps are going to single digits or below for the next few days so we'll see how it goes. I only log my walking outdoors.

    This might help get you even more motivated...

    It's tracking your distance in terms of carrying the One Ring from the Shire all the way to Mordor. (Or if you're more into The Hobbit, I think there's now also tracking from the Shire to the Lonely Mountain.) :)

    Yesterday marked the end of week one and I managed 30 miles. BUT I start a new job next week….it'll be a real commitment then to get those miles in.

    How's everyone doing so far? Good, I hope!

    20.36 since the 1st.

    A little behind plan, but I took a couple days off after the "Holiday Streak".
