Hey everyone!

One of my goals for 2012 is to move 1,000 miles, by a combination of running, walking, jogging, biking, stair climbing, etc... and I wondered if anyone else was interested? I'm doing it either way, but sometimes it's more fun to have company in ventures like this!

It may sound like a lot, but it evens out to less than 100 miles a month, which is less than 25 miles a week! (Edit: It's about 20 miles a week) I'm going to set up a spreadsheet to track them, no weigh-ins or measurements or anything, just miles... Let me know if you're interested!

    I'm in.

    If I can figure out how to post up another ticker on here, I will even track my mileage.

    Totally! My new years resolution is to get in my daily 10,000 steps and this will help to encourage me to keep moving!

    Great! I put in todays miles. I'll probably just do it daily, as it's easier for me to keep up with.
  • I'd love to do this too, so I hope you dont mind, but I added myself in. Good luck!

    This falls right in line with my C25K training. I plan on doing more than a few 5Ks and hopefully some 10Ks. This will be great! :-)

    Hey guys! How are the miles going?? I have about 4 to go to get in 20 for the week, so I'll be heading to the gym in the morning! Btw, if you haven't added yourself to the spreadsheet to log, feel free to do so! The link is at the top in the original post.

    Mhaney, how did you do the ticker?? And to answer your question, no I don't think we can put anything in our signatures anymore... lame...

    mah1120, I just finished c25k a couple weeks ago, it is an awesome training tool!! Good luck to you!

    I would love to join you in this! I have so far been walking every day this year, and would love to log the miles I'm doing. Do I just add myself to the spreadsheet?

    Yay! Glad to have you joining... Yep, here's the link again, I guess it did get a little buried.
