    *If there is a * in front of your name, you have not reported miles since Monday. If I don't hear anything from you by tomorrow, you will be cut from the challenge for this week, although you are still welcome to join again next week.

    Happy miles to all!

    Some of us started this on 15 miles a week and have built up to 25, if that makes you feel any better - there's no way I could have jumped straight in on 25 :wink:

    This challenge actually started as a walking/running 10 miles challenge about seven weeks ago. After an ankle injury, I had to move to lower impact workouts, and upped the miles to compensate for that. It's much quicker to push out ten miles on a bike than a treadmill ;) 25 miles seems to be a good number for most of us, although I'm thinking about upping to 30 in a couple of weeks.
    I love this challenge, and I love that you all are doing it with me! See you for the update later! I'm gonna go do a couple miles running now.

    *Edited to add. Ran 20 minutes, I was aiming for 25 but my darn treadmill overheated and the screen froze. It's happened before, but this time it was enough to throw off my groove. Oh well. 1.5 miles for this morning, and that might just do it for me today, as I'm taking the kids over to the pool. Happy miles to all!

    I got in 9.5 miles on my bike today . I agree the biking miles are way quicker to get than the running ones although I do enjoy running too . Hope everyone is having a great day :)

    PB, as our little group is growing nicely do you think it might be an idea to have stepped challenge options? Bearing in mind we started at 10, perhaps 15, 25 and 35 or something like that? Or maybe we could pledge hopw many miles we want to do that week?

    I'm happy to move up to 30+ and that's probably true for several others but it might be a bit much for some of the more recent joiners - it would be a shame to lose anyone if they were worried about keeping up or felt intimidated by the progress of others.

    I don't mean that to sound patronising but I know when I first joined that there was no way I would join a challenge where people were doing over 20 miles a week - I'm amazed that after less than 2 months I'm now one of them!

    I've actually been thinking the same thing, but haven't figured out a way to do it. I love having this many people joining up with us, but I'm ready to move on to 30. I'm glad you posted this, I think having stepped groups just might work, say a group for 10, a group for 20, and a group for 30?

    What does everyone else think? Want to sign up for your preferred mile group next week and track that way?

    I'm hesitant to do pledged mile amounts this upcoming week, it will be my first week using a spreadsheet to log everyone's miles and totals and there may be a few bugs to work out, but if stepped groups don't work out, than we can for sure try that the following week.

    Let me know what you think!!

    edited to add in the quotes, html fail for me.
