    Great idea: I'm in!
    --0/26.2 miles -- Running/ Walking
    --0/112 miles -- Biking
    --0/2.4 Miles -- Swimming

    I think the swimming and running I'll be fine with. But the biking... That's tough in the winter time. I have a trainer for my bike, but it's sooo boring to ride indoors!

    Let's start the new year with a new fitness challenge:

    For those who are starting the new year with new resolutions, welcome!
    For those who have been playing along since October, welcome back!

    The challenge is to complete Ironman Triathlon mileage in the 31 days of January as follows:
    --Running/ Walking 26.2 miles
    --Biking 112 miles
    --Swimming 2.4 Miles

    We'll use this forum all month to log and report our mileage. You can log daily or weekly-- whatever keeps you motivated!

    You may modify your mileage goals to suit your specific circumstances (e.g., no bike, no pool access, etc.) but you must SET and declare those goals at the beginning of the month, and it must still be a combination of running/walking, biking, and swimming.

    Happy New Year to all!


    I'm in!! What an awesome challenge!!!

    --Running/ Walking 26.2 miles
    --Biking 112 miles
    --Swimming 2.4 Miles

    I'm so excited about this! So do we report everyday???

    I'm in as i've just started my ironman training, not added my training plan up but pretty sure its over the 2.4m, 112m and 26.2m but I'll keep those goals and log against with the hope of over-achieving (its a nice January start)

    So far achieved

    Swim: 250m
    Run:4 miles
    Bike: 0

    I joined the December Challenge but then quit keeping track of what I did. My Bike is still broke, but I have an indoor triathlon in two weeks which means I'll be logging some stationary bike time. No promises on reaching the 112 miles on the bike. The other two should be fine. I think that should be a NYR for me: to actually keep track of distances for my exersice.

    Count me in. I've been major slacking since I've been dealing with heartburn for nearly three months now, so we'll see how it goes. I'll think about my goals and post them in the next couple of days! :) Good luck to everyone and Happy New Year!

    January goals:
    Swim 10 miles (Way less than January last year (30+) but I haven't swam in some months.)
    Bike more than 180 miles (30 more than December)
    Walk/Run at least 26.2 miles (about double December)

    Tomorrow is a travel day (700 miles) so I'll probably only get to walk 10 minutes each time we stop for gasoline...
