    LOVING the banner and REALLY excited!!! Any crew members - feel free to add me, I'd love to help support and motivate you all!

    So all the crew members need to do is report (or make their diary public) their calories to you Lizzie when they are done each day and you take care of the rest? You rock for being our captain - THANK YOU!!!

    Yeah!! I figure its easier then sending everyone the spreadsheet and then collecting it when we have to turn it in to head honcho! Make your lives easier!! :D

    It is my pleasure!

    Thanks MissbusyLizzie for being our captain! I love the banner. I have my diary public. What time will you be updating the spreadsheet? Sometimes I work out well into the night. Or is it the following day?

    I am excited about this challenge!!

    Sounds good to me, but I would like a copy of the spreadsheet. I think it would be good motivation to track how many "miles" I am personally doing and/or contributing. Would that be ok?

    I will probably pull the next day since we are all in different time zones! :)

    Here is the spreadsheet:

    https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnXDx87AShdldERYOHBpd19MeWVJM0ptRzJBRnQ4VEE&hl=en_US

    Basically 50 calories burned = 1 mile

    If you find the original post about it, it explains it all. Basically you team burns calories to move your boat across a set path on a google map. Here is the map.http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msid=204655860575059420912.0004a634fce3156d39f06&msa=0&ll=50.211405,-3.973961&spn=0.122599,0.308647
    Every 50 calories burned = 1 mile. We keep track of our teams calories burned ona spreadsheet which converts it to miles traveled and then the head honcho uses the info and moves our boat on the map. The first team to finish the journey wins.

    Hey team...I'm definitely excited to get this challenge going, and making some serious nautical miles (lol, is that what it's called?) around the world. I need another challenge to keep me accountable, and this will definitely do it.
