    This sounds very doable, even though I have been nothing but a BLOB lately.Just started back on MFP yesterday. I think the goal will be helpful in getting me focused. I'm in-will start Jan 1st.

    Love it! I've just decided to do a half-marathon in Baltimore May 15th, so this is good training. Do you have any way to show us on a map how far we've gone between NYC & Scranton every week? That would be a great visual tool. I'm starting today, since I can only run about 10 minutes at a clip.

    Welcome back to MFP! :o)

    GREAT job to those starting now! :o) I will look into a map...I looked at Mapmyrun.com or something along those lines but I don't see a way to put in a long run like that...lol! :o)

    Well, it looks like the challenge starts next week? If so, I'll just wait until then to start with the rest of the group. Please let me know...Thanks!

    I'm starting now simply because that's a lot of miles to log in 45 days. That's over 3 miles a day without rest days. I always take a day or 2 a week off, so that would be like 5 miles a day, and I can't do that with a bad knee. The only way I can see to finish is to get a few miles done in December.

    3 miles on treadmill done, 117 to go!

    Besides. If it wasn't for this thread, I wouldn't have done those 3 miles. So, they count because I definitely did them just for this. I was feeling lazy but this got me moving again.

    Okay!

    The awesome ticker is from tickerfactory.com under the fitness and exercise tickers. Really easy to update and so cool to have!!

    If you are starting this week, I would update under this thread. Otherwise on Sunday I'm going to post a new thread that says "Scranton to NYC with Love - Week 1." Those of you who are starting, which is of course totally awesome, just carry your totals over to that week! :o)

    I love this one! I'm running a half marathon (my first) in mid-May, and this is a great FUN addition to that. How do you add that ticker you have at the bottom of your post? I am not a computer person.
