Christmas group goal?

posted over 2 years ago | Report

I thought it might be fun to start a group goal of completing or surpassing a certain number of miles before Christmas this year. Say like 1225miles. (get it, 12/25 ;) )

So if I go out an run or walk 3 miles barefoot (which I did) I can come back and make a post like this:

-------------------------
Ran/walked 3 miles this morning! felt great even with a somewhat bum foot
1225 - 3 = 1222
-------------------------

and the next person who posts can subtract their miles from that.... what do you think?

  I'm in! Might be better to set this up as a challenge? I'm not sure how those work, but this seems to fit the bill.

  I looked for a way to set up a group goal but couldn't see it. The only option the challenges had were for the individuals to reach a certain distance, not the group as a whole.

  I say we start on November 27th. So this way we can all get a good start on the goal buy pounding off some of the turkey on the trails.

  we can start ON turkey day if you want. Should we allow race miles to count? I think we could let them count as long as they are minimilist :)

  with 1225 miles over 30 days that means the group would have to average 41 miles a day. At our current six person group membership that would mean ya'll haveta be running miles ;) that means roughtly 7 miles a day for each person. LOL.

  So we need to get some more people from the group here!

  I do around 20 miles a week, but right now only 3 or 4 miles are barefoot. I'm doing 10 to 12 tomorrow and will try to do half of it in VFFs....the way I feel afterward will let me know how much I can participate in this Minimalist Challenge.
