Holiday 150 (or 100) mile challenge for 11/26/2010 - 12/25/2010
Since I missed the last '100 mile' challenge (well most of it) I thought I would start another one
150 (or 100) Total Miles for the Month of December...all of these Running Equivalent (RE) miles
Ratios:
Walk: 1:1
Run: 1:1
Bike: 4:1 (4 bike miles = 1 RE mile)
Rowing: 1:1
Swimming 1:5 (1 mile swimming = 5 RE miles)
Elliptical 1:1 (is that fair?)
as for other exercise equipment I'm not sure (I don't use anything other then above)
I know this is a bit more disciplined then the 'just get moving' challenge. But to me I think it will be very motivating.
Please declare your choice if you decide to participate and report your progress as you go (10 -150 for example)
I'm in for 150!
So on black friday...run to the stores don't drive

Count me in for 60 miles, really I need to JUST get moving... I would like to think I could do more!!
I like the idea of changing up the miles between outside walks, treadmill and bike.
I have a Gazelle on my back patio, that I dont use much , but might?

Hi all,
I just found this and am so glad you put this challenge out there. I went for a (estimated) 3 mile run on Thanksgiving Day, so I'll consider that my start date.
I'm setting my goal at 100 miles by December 31. WOW!!!! That's a high goal. I can do this, I can do this!0 -

Previous total 11.74 plus today's run/walk 5.39 miles = 17.13 total.
82.87 to go! (Love seeing this number go down).
I just wanted to say to everyone who's participating, thank you! This challenge is saving my motivation right now (it was sort of plummeting.)
Not to hijack the thread or anything, but is anyone interested in introductions?
I can start. I'm Melissa, and this is going into my 2nd year of actively using MFP. I started jogging with the Cto5K program in July 2009, and have more or less kept up with it. MFP for me is a good source of motivation and support, and that's why I keep coming back. I've been SLOWLY losing weight this whole time (and I mean SLOWLY) but fitness and health are my priorities, since I've reached a healthy BMI, fit into clothes that feel good and generally feel pretty good in my own skin.
Who's next? :flowerforyou:0 -
stationary biked, walked, and ran for a total of atleast 4.5 today! 7 down...93 to go!
Ill go next I'm Jessica, i've been on here for about a year I think, but have gotten wayy off track working out the past few months. I've always jogged, but I think this challenge will be great to motivate me to get milage in again! I do love mfp, because everyone is just so darn positive :happy:0
