in Motivation and Support
Hi all!
I joined MFP a few months ago (at least) and while I was doing well in the beginning, the tracking is driving me nuts! I need something to motivate me again, so....
Anyone interested in doing a Nike+ Challenge? I did one a year or so ago with one of my friends and it really helped me. I'm thinking maybe a 30 day challenge, a distance goal. If there seems to be an interest in this, I'll create a challenge so we'll all be able to start at roughly the same time. Let me know, guys and gals!

(X-posted cuz I accidentally posted in the "introduce yourself" board first!)

    I'd be in for that! How about one mile for every pound you want to lose? (i.e. my goal is 30 lbs, so I'd run 30 miles in the month of April??)

    I like the idea of a mile per pound you wanna lose, but I don't know how that'd work. As far as I can see, Nike doesn't have it set up like that. The only thing I could think of would be to either set up multiple challenges (since I, and I'm sure a lot of others on MFP, have a lot more than 30 lbs to lose).
    I think a distance goal of 30 miles in a month would be good for new (or begin-again) runners. What do you guys think? 30? or maybe 50?

    I personally like the one where you see who can do the most mileage in 30 days. I did that with a few friends about a month ago and every time someone pulled in ahead of me it made me get out there for another run.

    But I am game for any of them : )

    Well... most mileage in 30 days I guess would work? Shame we can't do it by weight.

    Just label the Nike+ Challenge so we can all find it.

    Jeff, I agree, it'd be cool but I think Nike is more concerned with running than with weight loss. So, everyone - you'd rather do most mileage? I've done that before and it definitely lit a fire under my *kitten*, so if that's what the masses demand, that's what the masses shall receive! :)

    most miles in 30 days seems perfect. could u post a link to the challenge/explain how to find it? I don't have any nike+ friends and i never did a challenge before. :)

    Sure, as soon as I set it up, I'll head on over to MFP with the name of the challenge and hopefully a link. :)

    I meant to have the start date be on Thursday, but I was too quick on the draw, so it's officially started. MFP Run Your *kitten* Off! http://nikerunning.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikeplus/en_US/plus/#//challenges/detail/1772550229/ hope everyone has fun!

    Guhhhh, I totally forgot about this challenge. I got new shoes that aren't Nikes so I didn't even think to switch over my sensor. Doh!
    Looks like you ladies and gents will be pulling way ahead of me! :)

    I may start one again after this one's over. I still need to get my Nike sensor in my non-Nike shoes! My family and I are planning to start a weight loss competition on May 1 so hopefully I'll be running a lot more.

    I just got the nike + and new nano and love them both.

    I would be interested in taking part in this when another one is started.
