View Full Version : Million Mile Challenge
Ecrivain Sat, July 19th, 2008, 02:02 PM In the spirit of the 1000 Mile Challenge (http://forums.johnstonefitness.com/showthread.php?t=39163), I propose a challenge to reach 1000000 miles collectively. Anyone can join. Every mile or fraction of a mile helps. You may walk, jog, run, swim, bike, hop, skip, jump, or crawl your miles. You can use treadmills, stationary bikes, ellipticals, or even venture out into the real world! Just about anything goes.
To give you an idea of the scale of this challenge, 1000000 miles equals:
40 Earth equators
8 Canadian coastlines
4.2 average Earth-to-Moon distances
Add your miles to the previous count, then post the new grand total.
Pitch in and help us reach a million miles!

Would it be considered cheating if I added in everything I've done since I subscribed to the thread?
(I hate to see the perseverance of the OP go unrewarded by lack of more participation. :tu: )

Let's go with this: Add everything you've done this week. Don't worry, we've still got miles and miles to go, so there are plenty of opportunities to participate. ;)
And to others that may be thinking of joining in: Don't forget that we're counting pretty much any form of self-propelled movement (walking, running, cycling, cardio machines, whatever).
+ 3 miles running =

I'm in the same situation as profdlp so I'm going to take Ecrivain's suggestion to him and just add the cardio I've done in the past seven days.
Running 19.6 and cycling 16.3
New total = 214.7
Too bad I can't count the past two weeks because the prior week I rode 261 miles on my bicycle. Since the 7/19 inception of this thread I've run 44 miles and biked 341.5. Use the miles as you deem appropriate. I'll update contemporaneously going forward.
