Hi Everyone that followed this thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/250511-june-miles-challenge and newbies alike!
It's a new month, it's a new challenge!
****THE CHALLENGE WILL NOT START UNTIL JULY 1st....THEME TO-BE-ANNOUNCED (we're still wrapping up June's challenge)****
June Miles peeps: You may keep your original teammates if you choose. If you're missing people, now is the time to recruit!
NEW TEAMS WELCOME!
Every 4 people to sign up before June 1st are a team and each time is competing against EACH OTHER. The team with the most miles this month gets to decide the following month's challenge! I will post the official teams by the 5th.
RULES:
1. Group names are a MUST! It's fun!
2. Elect a team capatain within the first week, PRIVATE MESSAGE your captain your miles.
3. Captains should post totals Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
We will be using THIS formula to give every person/team credit for their miles:
TEAM NAME
Miles as of (DATE):
TEAMMATE 1- 1 miles
TEAMMATE 2- 2 miles
TEAMMATE 3- 3 miles
TEAMMATE 4- 4 miles
Total TEAM NAME miles total- 10 Miles
Some things to keep in mind:
It's basically like every other challenge we've done so far except you're only keeping track of YOUR miles and adding them to YOUR TEAM.
It's just for fun so don't worry about "bringing your team down", this is all just encouragement to keep everyone moving their bodies!
Unfortunately, bike miles don't count because it effects the curve between running/walking miles too much.
Runners, Walkers, Swimmers and Eliptical(ers?) all welcome to join.
GOOD LUCK!
It's a new month, it's a new challenge!

I'm ready for the July Challenge!! How about the rest of my team - Sisters with Blisters? You with me?0

I will join! And my mileage is going up this month! WOOT!
If anyone wants me in their team, that is.0 -
Recruit me! Recruit me! Training for a marathon and the miles are starting to get up there for the long runs. I'll join a new team too if anyone wants to start one, but I don't want to be a captain.0
-
I'm in for July, anybody need a new team member?0
-
I'm down for something like this. This will give me the motivation i need to actually get out there and walk. Just a tad difficult to do when it's summer in Arizona0
-
I'd love to join! This is my first running challenge, but I am training for a 10k! Very excited for this! tnfoster77, bunchesonothing, and samerah, sound like a plan!?0

I would love to participate. I hike everyday in the hot Arizona summer :-) and love it. 0

New Recruit!
Also was wondering, if we divide our biking miles by avg walking speed
For Example :: 2 miles @12mph on bike would equal .33 walked miles @4mph
Would that be fair?
Here is a link to a Calculator I use myself::
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjWq8Ca1b4hfdDdOcTl5azVVNWxuRVNoNHdKc2FaSGc&hl=en_US&authkey=CP-sk6sF
The reason I ask my husband and I work out together and he is currently not able to walk w/an injury, but we ride bikes. (avg 10-12mph for 45min - hour)0 -
I am in if anyone is looking for a new teammate.
This is a great idea 0 -
