This is my target total distance for 2017 and I will be doing a mixture of walking and running. Anyone else want to join in?

    I was just telling some other friends that I probably needed to up my miles each month (currently at 60-75 / month and 1000 = just over 80 / month), even though I'm strength training now, which takes up some of the time where I'd do cardio only.

    I'm in, if I can include my stand up paddleboarding miles too.

    Count me in! I also went onto the ilovetorun.org sight where you can sign up and get a really nice medal at the end of the year. I have a thing for bling!

    Hi...That's roughly 2.74 miles each day in 2017! Count me in sounds like a awesome long term challenge!

    I think I might make a ticker as @GrandmaJackie said.

    Count me in, I'm thinking to start jogging more. I want to MAYBE start running again. Of course that depends on my legs. I'm doing ALOT of walking now!

    I don't know if I'll be able to reach 1000 miles walking/jogging/running but this is a challenge right, lol. The next couple of days, I'll make me a ticker to track my progress. Bring on THIS challenge!!!!!


    I set this up once the challenge starts I'll input the correct information!

    I'm brand spankin' new here, but I love this idea. Total rookie: Once I've made a ticker (the visual will help motivate me...), where do I post the link? I've never used tickerfactory before.

    Count me in! I might need help with the ticker too. Can I go off of my pedometer? (3000 steps =1 mile) I don't know how else to count the miles.

    It probably don't matter weekly probably but I would try to do at least 3 times a week. It might be a problem finding your previous post, :)

    Ooh good, lots of people! Great idea on the ticker, I'm going to make myself one as well.

    I suppose any exercise can count, as long as you are challenging yourself and aiming to move more than you already do. If you already cycle 20 miles a week, for example, then this challenge probably isn't going to be much of a strain.

    I don't know how fitbits/pedometers work but if they track miles accurately then I'm sure it's fine :)

    We could log our totals weekly or monthly, what does everyone think?


    ETA hope this ticker works!

    Edit again: If you want to use a ticker then go to tickerfactory.com, follow the instructions and then when you're done, copy and paste the bit that says BBcode into your forum post.
