    Amelia, since you are putting teams together and posting them by the 5th, should we be keeping track as of today (the 1st) of our miles? So excited about this challenge! THANKS!!!

    I don't know how to quote a post.... but for all us newbies looking for a team that will most likely be placed on a random team but aren't necessarily sure of how all of this works quite yet....

    Do we start tracking today and then report it to a "captain" when we are placed on a team?
    I'm a little lost :o(


    PS.... newbie looking to join a team, but definitely not ready to be a captain.

    I'm afraid we may have lost one member (legallyfab) so will need to add one more member.

    We are looking forward to increasing our miles!!

    Just keep track of your personal miles for now, we'll start posting as a team on the 5th!

    Usually, I like to make teams by grouping every 4 people together. It's random and it's the fairest way I think. I'll try to post the teams by the 5th.

    There is a lot activity on this board (which is great!) but it's hard to navigate. I'm sorry about that. I'm going to try to form teams from the bottom of the messages up and then I'll close the enrollment. It's getting too complicated!

    I asked earlier, but my post got buried (I can't find it) ha ha, so I'll ask again :flowerforyou:

    I have a question for you (not sure who -you- is actually) :happy:
    Also was wondering,
    if we divide our biking miles by avg walking speed

    For Example ::
    2 miles @12mph on bike
    would equal
    .33 miles @4mph walked
    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)

    Would you guys feel comfortable with bike miles being converted/counted this way?
    I think it's a pretty fair conversion. (not scientific, but definitely not an "advantage")

    I understand TOTAL biked miles not equal (and aka not allowed :wink: ),
    but if they're converted this way, I think it becomes semi-comparable? :blushing:

    But it's completely up to you guys! I will have some *actual* walk/jog miles too, just more time will be spent biking w/hubby till he heals. :embarassed:


    Thank you guys!! :love:

    Sorry I missed it! HI!

    I'm okay with that as long as EVERYONE uses that same calculator. I hate to discourage anyone but it was hard to fit in bike miles in previous challenges. I think this method will work.

    THANKS!

    Newbie looking for a team.

    Can I also count my miles on the stair machine as well as treadmill miles?

    This is probably a really stupid question, but how do you update your miles ticker on tickerfactory.com??? I CAN NOT for the life of me figure it out, 'bout ready to just get rid of it!

    I haven't forgotten about you! I've just been away. Setting up all these groups and weeding through a bunch of messages isn't feasible at this time. I PROMISE to get to it at work tomorrow (Tuesday the 5th). Please be paitient!

    ***If anyone wants to take over the task of setting up teams, I'd be okay with that!


    Oh, the enrollment is CLOSED at this time.

    If we have an odd number of people/teams, I'll open it back up.
