anna441 - what is it about the state challenge ur confused about? it's a personal challenge that i thought would be fun...no one has to do it its of choice...in the chart i posted of the states and the miles u can start anywhere u like once u completed that state u don't do it again and u move on to another state of ur choice and complete the miles there.0

Ok, so I don't see other posts for today 1/1/11.
Indiana
2 miles today + 0 total + 0 group total = 2
Did I do this right?0 -
Happy New Year everyone! Im ready to start this challenge. Im going to shoot for 63 miles this month. Hoping to do Rhode Island (27 miles) by Jan. 15th. Then finish January with Delaware 36 miles.
As for the challenge formula Im still not sure how that works but Im sure by watching others enter numbers in I will figure it out.
Good luck to all of you! :drinker:0 -
well i did 50 as a goal for november and beat it with 100....
i did 75 as a goal for december and just made it (i was pretty sick and so were my kids before and after christmas)....
thinking i should try to aim for somewhere in between the past two months goals....
how about 90 miles for january?????0 -
I'm doing Illinois...212. I don't think I will be able to do it this month, but I am going to try for 60 this month. How do you count spin class for miles? I think its about 1 mile every 5 minutes or so. So for a 45 minute class, its about 9 miles. Maybe I will just count 6. Does that sound reasonable?0

Thanks Kizzy0

With the miles that you walked today, it looks like the total for the group goes as follows:
2.5 miles you walked today + 0 that you've walked previously + 2 group miles = 4.5 new total group miles
This may get confusing, but hopefully this would be helpful to everyone so we can track our group miles:)0 -
OK thanks was not sure I was doing it right!!!
2.5 miles done today + 0 miles done previously + 2 group miles = 4.5 new total group miles

I have truly enjoyed these walking challenges. Although they are not intense aerobic exercises, I seem to lose weight faster than when I was doing two hours a day of the other exercises. I would love to do high miles this month like I've done with other challenges, but unfortunately I developed bad knees and was advised my my MD to reduce my miles. I am going to start with Rhode Island (27 miles, which I would mostly do on an elliptical machine), and I will see about climbing to Delaware later. This will allow me more time to do other exercises too, such as strength training.

Here we go...I ran yesterday, but didn't write on the board...so....
5.25 miles done today + 3.1 miles done previously + 4.5 group miles = 12.85 new total group miles
And for the state challenge...I'm starting in my home state of MA at 125 miles.....8.35 miles done and 116.65 to go!0 -
Question about the formula: "_____ (my miles today) + ______ (my total miles) + _______ (total group miles) = ________ NEW TOTAL GROUP MILES"
If we have already added our previous daily miles to the total group miles, shouldn't we delete "my total miles" from the formula. This will lead to the total being higher than it should.
For example:
Saturday: 2 my miles done today + 0 my total miles + 0 total group miles = 2 new total group miles
Sunday: 4 my miles done today + 2 my total miles + 2 total group miles = 8 new total group miles (the total should be 6, see below)
Maybe the formula should be: ______ my miles done today + _____ total group miles = _____ new total group miles
Example:
Saturday: 2 my miles done today + 0 total group miles = 2 new total group miles
Sunday: 4 my miles done today + 2 total group miles = 6 new total group miles
I dont know if Im looking at this correct so I apologize if Im wrong. I just want to make sure we have accurate data. Have a Great Day!0 -
9.6 (my miles today) + 12.85 (group total) = 22.45 (new group total)
On my way to Hawaii (75 miles), only 65.4 miles to paradise0 -
5 (mine today)+ 22.45 (prev. group total) = 27.45 (new group total)
woot!0 -

Edited to add that is just a little over 4.3 miles
Edited again after I read the rest of the posts lol
4.3(mine today)+ 27.45(prev. group total) = 31.75 (new group total)0 -

Well... I thought I was starting to understand the original formula. Now after the last few posts Im totally messed up again...lol.:laugh:
This is what I'VE done so far: 3.5 miles today + 2 miles yesterday = 5.5 miles:drinker:0
