2,018 Miles in 2018

[DramaQueenDiva]

Hi all!

I've seen a lot of these groups on Facebook and thought that those of you without Facebook (or even those with Facebook) might like to join me in a challenge.  The challenge is to walk or run 2,018 in the year 2018.  It is open to everyone in the Fitbit Community, and you can post your updates here either weekly or monthly, whatever works for you!  I'll start:

Week 1: 7.46 miles so far

Who's with me?

So what does this mean in numbers:

Miles a month: 2,018 miles this year/12 months a year= 168 miles a month

Miles a week: 2,108 miles this year/52 weeks a year= 38.8 miles a week (or 39 if you are rounding up)

Miles a day: 2,018 miles this year/365 days a year= 5.5 miles a day

I'm right there with @GershonSurge, Very nice start for the month, @JaimieRi! Lets see how long you keep it.  😉

Hello all,

    I'm still not too sure about how to engage in our dialog.  I guess I'll hit the reply button and do it.

    So  I'm somewhat behind my goal for January (172 miles).  I walked 159.15 miles.  I'm confident that I can make up the difference this month since I am in Florida now (not Wisconsin) and can walk more easily (and comfortably) outside.  Hang in there, y'all!

[GershonSurge]

@SunsetRunner

Nice catch.

[SunsetRunner]

@GershonSurge

@JaimieRi will probably be right back up there in a few hours. He's a great challenger and caused me to get far more steps than normal last month just trying to get on top of my leader board.

More often than not, he'd be far ahead in the morning, and I would catch up/pass him in the afternoon just to repeat the procedure the next day.

If you haven't done so already, add him as a friend, ... then lace up your sneakers.  😉

@SunsetRunner thank you for pushing me the way you have been. I walked harder and faster than I have ever done this morning (I was thinking about your awesome Mum the whole 10K!), and I am determined to make up for the days I have missed in the past couple of weeks. Seriously, you should post your Mum's stats in this group once a week as inspiration for the rest of us. She can be my benchmark. She rocks! 

Happy stepping everyone. 🙂

@Tracy303,

My mother said "I can't believe I'd inspire anyone."

Her end of January stats are 253.22 miles against a target of 171.39 miles.

She's picked up 18.74 miles for the first two days of February.

@Tracy303, Just in case you haven't guessed, the post from aged- was actually from me. (I had to log into my mothers account to get the first 3 days of January as they had rolled off the 30 day summary.

Looks like you are having a good day. Keep it up.

[SteveL1964]

Thanks Gershon. I decided a few days ago that today was the day to go for my 40K steps badge. I'll be back to my more usual 20-25K tomorrow...

@SunsetRunner your mum is amazing. How on earth does she do it? I am truly in awe.

[GershonSurge]

I can't get to the activity group anymore. Anyone else having that problem?

[JaimieRi]

Hi Gershon, yes I too am unable to access the group, I would like to know where Michael is at!!!


Kind regards Jaimie Richards

[SunsetRunner]

Gershon--


Everyone is having the problem.


--Mike

[MackieMesser]

Sounds great. I'm in.

[MackieMesser]

OK January I hit 199.1 miles.  I think for February I can at least hit 200!

[SunsetRunner]

Mackie,

That will put you a little ahead of the curve. That's where you want to be, you get more steps looking ahead instead of looking back.

Do look back occasionally though, otherwise you'll get run over.

--Mike

[MackieMesser]

No doubt! I intend to to push on and listen carefully for the sound of the
pack! Hope to be towards the front.

Same here, obviously, @SunsetRunner. Has anyone emailed Support? I'm happy to if no one else has already. Hopefully all of the data hasn't somehow been lost.

[SunsetRunner]

Hi all,

My February stats, ending on the 11th are: 466,024 steps and 226.63 miles.

--Mike

[SunsetRunner]

Hi Mike, Very impressive stats.  I think I may be a little off the pace for Feb.

My stats for Feb so far - 137,932 steps only (about 60ish miles? - maths never was my strong suit).

I think I need to be doing a bit more to make up Feb ground.  

Good luck everyone
