Xena Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Hi All!! I ran 5 miles today (before I knew what the mini would be). I already run a lot, so I think I need to modify this goal to make it reasonable/fair/in-the-spirit-of-the-challenge. I had a pretty ambitious running goal for this week and don't really think I can add more. For the sake of fairness, I'm going to let my 5 miles count as long as I do two more 7-minute workouts (something new I'm playing with, but wasn't necessarily going to do...so it's something "extra" I'm doing for the mini beyond my normal exercise). I'm heading out on vacation on Wed. I know we'll do a bunch of walking, but I don't really feel like I need to tally it up. Doesn't really feel like intentional exercise in this case. Just part of my normal life. Because I run a lot anyway, I'm just going to stop my mileage count at 5 and not stack it on. Sound fair? 1 Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to post
Xena Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Also...was thinking that since there's no official power structure on the ship, we should feel free to give ourselves fun titles :-) 1 Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to post
Polgara19 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Didn't really intend join this mini since I've historically had a hard time keeping up with the minis. However, air pirates are just awesome so I'm kinda glad I'm in anyways! So, I ran 3.6km this evening in celebration of a diagnosis on my pelvic pain (ovarian cyst), so I've logged that, and we're off! 1 Quote Level 6 Ranger Current Challenge - Scrubs!

Dusk Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Is it the goal of the crew as a whole to accumulate 20 miles in the week? That's how I understood it, but sometimes wording can be finicky. If that's the case, if/when you reach 5 miles I reckon you can just leave it at that. But perhaps still keep track, so that if other crews start posting the entirety of their distance, we can compete a little. ETA: I may have misunderstood you, sorry! Were you referring to the 5-mile cap in general, or whether to count regular activity? Man I just can't with the english comprehension today. Fun titles are FUN! I am clueless about boat-y names though. Any ideas? I walked 4.23 miles today. So I'll hit 5 miles sometime tomorrow morning. But this is all a normal part of the day (ah, campus life), so I'm gonna try and get some extra activities in this week too to make it really count! @Polgara19 - I'm glad you got a diagnosis. Is that hard to treat? It sounds kinda scary. I'm glad you're here though. I haven't been doing mini-challenges either, but airship pirates was just too cool to pass up.

There isn't really anything you can do, but it's also not all that serious, so I'm much happier than when I didn't know what was up! 1 Quote Level 6 Ranger Current Challenge - Scrubs!

maegs Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I totally forgot the new challenge started today! I'll have to get my thread up and figure out my goals! And also plan to get in some extra walking/running(/rowing? does that count?) 2 Quote Current Challenge Goodreads|Instagram|Ravelry Link to post
Xena Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Polgara, so glad it's nothing serious! (Sorry it's painful!) Shadri, you are right, we only need 20 miles total, but Rurik suggested, we could keep logging miles for fun and friendly competition. So you guys are welcome to log as many miles as you want. I'm just going to cap mine at 5, because I wasn't sure how to decide which ones were "extra" and which ones were part of my regular challenge. Maegs...I think anything counts. Didn't specifically say rowing, but heck, we're pirates! The point is just to get some exercise. ...I don't have any fun pirate-y names in mind...yet.... 2 Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to post
Dusk Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I'm not sure how to count mine, since I don't have walking specifically in my challenge, but walking is an integral part of my daily routine... its weird. Polgara, I'm glad it's not serious! Yeeeah maegs! Let us know once your thread is up Quote "In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself.

BitterOyster Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Barefoot walking is part of my challenge! My feet are waaaaay not conditioned so I'll be doing a little bit each day. Since you guys are all powerhouses I hope it's ok if I just aim for 3 miles. So far I've done just under one mile. eta: I may have missed it somewhere, but is there a spreadsheet or something to keep track of our collective miles? 1 Quote 2017: Year of the Epic Travel Adventure Lycan Ranger | Level 13 Current challenge - Metallica Theme Previous: 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Battle log/inspiration thread Link to post

Dunno why we didn't think of that in the first place. I think I'm just gonna count how far I go in the course of the week, since other people are posting numbers higher than 5 miles, and it's not part of my challenge. *shrug* 2 Quote "In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself.

BitterOyster Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 This week was pretty hectic so some of my barefoot mileage was spontaneously taking off my shoes while out and about, but that's fine!

Dusk Posted June 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Welp, I wasn't on the computer much this past weekend so I only just now updated my mileage (sorry guys!).
