Will we still update our miles on Saturday? Would that be easier to do on a weekend as most of us are probably Monday thru Friday work schedules?

Would you prefer to see the miles achieved spreadsheet on the August thread or posted here on the September thread to encourage all current and newcomers?

Jenai we are so thankful that you are keeping up with the miles for us. Will it be too much trouble to post it to both threads? I think posting it to September's thread will have the most impact if you can't post to both.

Updating our miles on Saturday is a good idea.

BTW, how is your arm?

No problem on posting to both threads.

My arm is doing great. It's 100% extending straight up over my head. I still need to work on range of motion extending out to my side and back. That range is still a bit limited.

Thanks for asking

I'm also new, I haven't been banded yet but I would like to join the challenge.

[2911plans 16]

Welcome all newcomers. We are glad you have joined the challenge.

This is how it all works:

We set a goal for the month and we update the miles weekly to stay motivated. We get the miles in using treadmills, bikes, ellipticals or taking nature walks. Set any goal you choose and just work toward that goal. The members of this thread continue to exceed goals. We are not competing against one another. We are here to motivate and encourage each other to the finish line.

We check in every Saturday to log miles for the week and miles to go.

Good luck everyone!

Hi 2911 where do we log our miles?

[2911plans 16]

Hi 2911 where do we log our miles?

Hi Rayne. We log our miles as a new post. Here is an example of how it looks.

Week 1

20 miles bike

40 miles to go

At the end of the month Jenai puts all of the results in a spreadsheet to determine our total miles as a whole. She then post it on the thread so we can Celebrate and congratulate each other for a job well done.

Go to the July 2009 Mile Challenge or the August 2009 Mile Challenge and read up on what we've done. I promise, you will be inspired.
