Team Miles Game Sign-ups

[windwalker]

We need all the motivational help we can get to keep training all year. A fun way to do that is to have a team miles game.

There will be a post for each team and you will post your miles and keep a running total. The team with the most miles at on Dec 31st wins. There will be prizes for the winning team. The game will begin on Feb 1st.

You can post miles from anything you do under your own power: Walk, Run, Swim, Bike, Stationary Bike, Treadmill, ect......

Please sign-up and if you have an exercise partner you want on your team with you list them to. Put your average weekly miles down from all sources so I can make the teams fairly even.

I want to play!

I am going to try to keep an average of 30 miles a week this year but I tend to get slack when I don't have something big hanging over my head. Better put me on a team with an enforcer!

I'd like to join, but I'm not a high mileage girl. I'd hate to bring my team down. I get almost no miles in during the summer. It is just too hot around here, and I have the kiddos home from school. I'll be training for the Minnie 15K and the 2009 Half, so I'll get some miles then. Other than that though, I'll probably average 10 (maybe 15) miles a week.

Boy, don't ya'll all want me on your team now?

(And yes, I'm originally from Louisiana, so it's okay for me to say "ya'll all" or even "all ya'll." )

You can put me down. DH doesn't post here, but he runs, too. Do I include him?

I have no clue what to tell you we average. We're doing a half in March and then plan on the Disney half in 2009 so we'll have those LRs... Otherwise, we only have 10K planned.

My mileage varies a lot. Between all sources, it can be from 20 - 50 miles a week.

Lots of help, huh?

Hi Dave! Please put me on a team. And, can you add my DH, Steve aka nukeman? He hasn't posted anything yet but I'll change that!

 

[Scott H]

Dave, sounds like fun, Scott was saying he had to pick up his milage, so this might be a good incentive for him also.

I'd love to take part too! I am training for my first anything, the 2009 Half. I have never been a runner so I am a total novice. I don't know what to say I will be doing but being a beginner I am sure I'll be on the low end. Lately I am using our elliptical and putting in roughly 10-15 miles a week on that.

I'm in! I guess I'll say 15-20 miles/wk, but it greatly varies depending where I am in the training. My goal is 8 miles of biking, 8 TM walk, and one long walk each week -- or it will be once I've recovered from the Half!

Thanks, Dave!

Ok Put me and Tim down !

I've signed up for two races so far - I think Tim may be running them also!

(and we ARE going to pass on '09 Marathon! Look for us in 2010 tho!!)

Eva, of course we want you with us. The whole idea is to have an extra spark to help us get our backfields in motion. Hey y'all is formal english around here.

If you have a hubby or princess that trains to and you want to post their miles you just need to do it and we count you as two people on the team.

There is no minimum amount of miles, hey a lot of you are doing your first event so you are going to have to take baby steps, but later in the year you will be contributing much more.

I will be appointing team captains for each team as soon as I know how many teams we have. The team captain will:

Lead the team in choosing a team name.

Do the initial post on Feb 1st to get the team rolling.

Insure that all team members adhere to the dress code when they post.

Poke your team members when they need a hand up if they start to get down.

Insure that your miles are added each day accurately.

There will be prizes so keep your team motivated.

I'm in, too! My mileage varies a lot, as I live a pretty pedestrian lifestyle in addition to trying to become a runner. I'd say between 35-50 miles a week, less now & more when the weather cooperates. I'll try to log my miles this week & let you know.

Thanks for starting this--it'll be great fun!
