The "Miles Challenge"

Last week, I proposed a new type of challenge. I don't have all the details worked out yet, but it would go something like this:


- All participants are split into teams. Once we know who's participating, we can decide whether we would like to do several teams of 3-4 people, or just divide the participants in half.
- We select a timeframe for the competition
- Over that set timeframe, each participant logs as many miles as they can. Miles can be logged by walking, running, biking, swimming or using an elliptical machine (let me know if you think I forgot anything that should count for miles).
- Each type of activity has a multiplier assigned to it, based on the intensity of that activity:
Biking = .4
Walking = 1
Elliptical = 1
Running = 1.2
Swimming = 3.6
- After the challenge period is over, we will have a winning team (we could also have an overall winner for the men and for the women if we wanted).

So far, 7 people have responded and said they are interested in this challenge:
Alison
Donna
Mary Kay
Nancy
Sarah
Gary
Roger

(plus myself)...if you're interested, let me know right away. I'm also looking for feedback on the challenge structure - I adapted this from something Aunt Karen sent to me (thanks, Aunt Karen!) from her district, so if we need to change it up to make it work better for us, I am definitely open to suggestions.
