HI everyone,
I am up here in the wilds of Northern Manitoba , Canada. I attempted 2011 kms in 2011 and came in around the 1500 mark (I only count if I go out for a walk,run, hike or snowshoe not the walking I do day to day) , I would love to try and make the 2012 in 2012.
As I am really bad at working in miles I am going to attempt it in kilometers (which is a lot less, but far more realistic for me. )
Good luck everyone0 -
Hello everyone! I'm in Toronto and my goal is to run 2012 km this year, and to hit 2012 miles between running and cycling. I ran my first half marathon last year and am registered for another two this year. Looking forward to chatting with you all!0

Hi Everyone!
My name is Kendra, I'm 28, married for almost 4.5 years, and a runner. I've been on MFP since October 2009, and went from 174 to 138 by my birthday in May 2010. But then I graduated from grad school, was traveling for interviews, moving to a new city, and starting a new job... and I let that be an excuse to fall off the wagon. So I'm back here, now 156.4 pounds (as of this morning) and ready to try again. I love to run and have completed 5 marathons (PR was this past June when I was at my goal weight and in super great shape... ran Grandma's Marathon in 3:53). However, I haven't been running much in the last 6 months, so I have some work to do to get back my endurance. I was born and raised in WI (as was the hubby) and we are both huge Packers and Brewers fans... and it should go without saying that we are also big fans of cheese (when will they make a calorie free cheese that tastes like the real stuff?
) Anyway, with that said, I'm looking forward to the challenge of 2012 in 2012. Good luck everyone! 0 -
Hello,
My name is K'tara and I am setting new goals for my self this year. 10K, Half Marathon and Sprint Tri are among them. I am looking forward to logging my miles here to help me stay on track. I attempted to do a Tri last year but never committed fully to the training thus, did NOT happen. Not an issue...this is a new year and what did not work last year does not enter 2012! I am a single mother of 2 teenage boys in the Dallas, Tx area and I work from home (which helps a LOT to single parent but not when it comes to burning calories).
I am excited about posting my first week, heading to the gym now!0 -
Hey everyone. Congrats on the awesome goal!
I'm Shisca from New Zealand. We do everything in km over here so for my challenge i'm going to do 2012km this year.
I work a desk job so to help with making the target a little easier (but still relatively challenging) i'm including running, walking, cycling, cross trainers, and rowing machines. Classes at the gym i'm counting as 3km except for spin which i'm counting as 5km.
So far so good. Day 17 and i'm up to 74km already.
I've signed up for a 7km run/walk at the end of february and are hoping to do a half marathon later in the year.
Looking forward to the challenge! Good luck everyone0 -
Hi, my name is Ray and I think this is a great Idea for group... I will begin tracking monday 1-29-12, for me its a new week and I can start adding my milage from that point.
Looking forward to hearing from you guys and being part of the group.0 -
Hello everyone
My name is Earl and I am just getting started on this now. I have some 55 pounds to lose and need to get back into shape. Did a few 5K, 10K and HM last year but been a while so dropping weight and getting moving again will be priority and this group should be a help with that. So basic math dictates that 2010 miles =3219.2 K. We have about 325 days left (assuming no off days) which basically means I need to log 10 k (about 6 miles) daily (walking, running, cycling). That sound doable (famous last words).
Does this group log their distances here or is this just something we do when the mood strikes us? Anyway glad to have found this group. Be well.0 -
Earl, I'm not sure what the majority are doing but a few of us log on a daily or weekly basis on this thread:

Guys, I am so, so sorry I have been absent for a while, I literally got bombed with horrible news and fell into a bad depression. Between my husband and entire family getting sick, full time school, full time internship, job search, and my 8 week old son in the hospital for the flu I didnt have time for me. Then my 18 month old fell and needed three stitches. I have completely disappeared for a while, but I am back, and I need some help, so if you are up for being a moderator let me know, and if you are up for being a buddy and keeping me accountable let me know about that too!0

Sounds like you've had a rough time of it recently, I hope things get get better for you now :flowerforyou:
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be many of us still going on the challenge but it's keeping me focussed, so I'll be here for the duration 0 -

Im going to work double time to catch up.0 -
Take it easy, hun - you've got all year to catch up. The last thing you want to do is knock yourself out and end up poorly - work out what you need to do each week and don't do too much too fast :flowerforyou:
I'm aiming for roughly 40 miles a week - sometimes it's more, sometimes less but I'll get there 0 -
I'm still here too. Logging on a spreadsheet daily. I fully intend to hit this goal, but I'm not rushing through it... slow and steady wins the raceSounds like you've had a rough time of it recently, I hope things get get better for you now :flowerforyou:
