    The formula to track the miles will be the tried and true:
    "___1__ (my miles today) + _____1_ (my total miles) + _______ (total group miles) = ________ NEW TOTAL GROUP MILES"

    I in going try to walk 31 miles in January. I'm starting today though.

    Hi everyone! Hope your holidays were just lovely!

    A few quick things:

    I've tried to add everyone as friends as they've joined this thread, but if I missed you, please add me! I'll try to keep people motivated and remind you check in through my status.

    I personally plan on checking in after every gym session, but I think everyone should log their progress at least once a week...say, Friday?

    The first day of the year (and the rest your lives...hardy har har) is rapidly approaching! Good luck!

    I would like to join this thread. I am new to jogging so this will be a good motivator.

    I will be in Indiana (my home state) & I will do Hawaii in February because I will really be there for 10 days that month. Since I am just a beginner, I will say 45 for the month.

    I have increased the number of fitness classes that I take and I don't spend as much time on the machines as I used to. But I will still try to complete about 50 miles a month. Sometimes they are from the elliptical, other times they are from the treadmill. I do pedal the bike for some quick miles, are we doing equivalents or as is with the miles? I have seen some boards that count like 3 bikes miles= 1 running mile. I think elliptical miles were counted as the same. I personally think all miles should be counted equally. does everyone agree with that?
    even though it hasn't started yet, I did get in some miles today. I look forward to the start of the challenge.

    Leela.

    I would love to join this challenge. I am going to walk the Los Angeles Marathon in March, so I will definitely contribute my miles to this challenge. My goal is 100 miles.

    I love the state idea!! I'd like to join, but I have a question ~ is this miles walked on purpose ie: going for a walk? Or are these miles logged on a pedometer for the day?

    Ok im trying to decide what State I want to start with. I had the bright idea of Alphabetical order. Ummm... no all the "A's" are really, really big numbers. Ok, start at the other end of the alphabet...nope don't want to do that either...lol. I think I will just close my eyes and point at one.:huh:

    Will the treadmills miles count? If so I would like to join too and will aim for 60 miles for the month of January.

    I am confused about the state.

    But will take Rhode Island 27 miles and Delaware 36 miles Total of 63 miles
