    I am shooting for 175 this month. I feel it is reasonable since I only missed by 5 miles and there were many "lazy" days as well as 2 less days. Time will tell.

    I am also shooting for 100 miles of intentional exercise. That will be tough but I need to get ready for some big races and challenges coming up.

    I'm going to average at least 60 minutes a day: 1860 minutes. Running is continuing to ramp up as I make my way to 60 minutes 3 x week, strength training is going good (45-60 minutes), and I've been trying to stay consistent with yoga. In order to pull this off I will have to stay on top of the yoga.

    Just as a side note I have learned that there is an up dog and a down dog in yoga but is there a normal dog?

    Could I also make a request for two additional columns? One for daily average so far and one for daily average needed to reach goal. That way I can see how I'm doing and if I need to pick it up or not and by how much. I can throw them in there if you don't mind.

    I love this idea.

    Thanks for having me.

    Done. Great idea! Good luck everyone on meeting your goals!

    Solid start to the month! Trying to get it in while I am motivated. Tomorrow is supposed to be very nice in the weather department so hopefully I will keep on logging the miles! My 11.3 miles of trails today definitely took a toll on my feet and legs.

    Off to a rickety start (just started tracking so my average is low) but feeling good about March :) We got this!

    Is it possible to have a live updating column of daily average to reach goal? One that takes into account how far you are from goal and updates as the days of the month progress.

    Thank you.

    After disappearing from MFP for a few weeks, I'm back. :) Thanks for putting this up every month!

    I think I got it. Let me know if that (column H) is what you are looking for. As you log miles/minutes it should update needed daily average to meet the goal.

    It's prefect. Thank you. Very kind of you. It really puts the goal in perspective.

    Hate to be a downer, but I'm not sure column H is right. It's the miles left to go (good) divided by 31... which is all the days in the month, not the days left to go. Unless I'm misunderstanding something??

    I set up my column H to calculate miles to go divided by (31 - number of days filled in) and that calculates more accurately, I think... feel free to copy it.

    I think that sounds right. Thank you Spreadsheet Wizard.

    Thank you! I knew something didn't seem right and I was just not figuring it out last night. You are correct! Thanks for the help, I am only starting to learn the capabilities of Excel. It is crazy.

    Is it too late to get in on this? I just joined the group today. Need some further motivation and tracking to get me back on track!

    I set a very modest goal of 50 miles for the month and so far I am not doing too good. I guess working a desk job all day doesn't help me any. I just don't know how to track all of the dancing that I do into my mileage.

    Awesome thank you! I'm going to set a goal of 6 miles per day on my fitbit!
