    I'm so out of shape and this is hard. I probably should have set a lower target but I am pushing it. I'm going to give it my all.

    @ nece226 Hey, perhaps you should really lower your goal to keep it reachable. Its not a sin. When the goal is too high you may get injured, fatigued or disappointed and you're bound to lose your motivation and quit trying.

    Nice to see so many familiar faces here. There are 24 active people in the challenge at the moment, with a cumulative goal of 1,965 miles. By active I mean people who contributed at least one mile, because another 7 posted on the thread but didn't move any, so I'm not including them until they do.

    Updated miles we moved our *kitten* so far is 324.8 (16.5 % of target).
    I'll try to post a progress chart before the weekend.

    thanks dinos.....
    looking forward to the chart...can you do the link again to the google spreadsheet???

    didnt get in any miles last night at the YMCA that i can track....did some weights after my girlfriend RAN me thru a 2 person spinning class all by ourselves in the multipurpose room....she has been doing spin for a few months like 2-3 times a week and loves it so she had this great idea that we could have our own "CLASS" since the room was empty so late....i worked up a serious sweat and i think we did 40+ mins of serious spinning....
    i'm going back tonight to do an actual taught spin class and am looking forward to the challenge and the calorie burn....gonna try to get a lunch time walk in today even if it is just 2 miles...gotta keep my siggie going up and up and up every day ;)

    4 miles for me today.

    Thanks for doing this challenge! The fact that I committed to a certain number of miles for the month really motivates me to get on that treadmill!

    Walked/ran 1.5 miles pulling my GS on his sled! then we sledded down hills, made snow angels, and a snow man! 1 hour burning 370 calories! Then while he took his nap I burned 440 calories doing my Turbo Fire/ChaLean X treme workout (55 minutes)! A good day with 810 fun calories burned!!!

    Wow, dinos, you are amazing. Thanks for tracking this and posting the chart. I'm a newbie to MFP, and am finding this challenge to be a great motivator.

    How do you track this? I did 4 miles this morning and updated my ticker at tickerfactory, but didn't yet post my new 4 miles to the message board--yet, you've got my current totatl on the chart? I'm just curious--a sort of techno-geek--not paranoid.
