Thanks for the update Twood. It seems as if we are making progress based upon the fact that the number behind was in the 300's a couple of weeks ago. Good job everyone.
Got a tip for us?

yes, we are making some progress. but we must keep it up. i'll try to give more updates in this thread
i've decided to make a spreadsheet for this on google docs. anyone interested in helping me get a system going on there? i can invite people to edit the file.
i was planning on just putting everyone's name, and their miles, and trying to come up with something to monitor stats and all. what do you think?

Mispeedy and Arihara are two runners that add up miles like crazy in the 1000 mile/year challenge. They are unfortunately not in the 25,000 miles challenge. We would be in the clear if we had then on our team.
Great job! I can help.
Good job, thanks for the report. We'd be about 80 miles closer if not for my injury... but I guess there are a lot of "ifs" out there.
hmm. Who are they on macrumors? We can send them PMs...
ok. i'll send you a PM about it.
yeah, there are a lot of "ifs" out there for sure. but just keep doing what you can. we'll get through it
I am not sure really.
1,405 km is about 873 miles. She alone would add more than 3000 miles in 2008 only.

i'm not sure if she's a member here or not. i say we can only recruit her if she joins the forum. what do ya'll think?
btw, if anyone is interested, below is a link to the spreadsheet on googledocs that i made. let me know what you think.

Sure, I still don't know how to contact them.
Any idea how you contact people on Nike+?
Post something in the trash talk section.
I posted a request for runners (for the 25,000) in the trash talk section of the 1000 in 2008.
A few may have joined.
Mudbug started the 1000 in 2008.
Mudbug may be able to send some link/request/invitation about the 25,000 challenge to all the 1000 in 2008 runners.
Mispeedy, in the trash talk section of 1000 in 2008, asked ziwi to join her team challenge.
Ziwi you might have to do a deal with her, you'll join hers if she'll join yours
I'll join her challenge too if she signs up to the 25,000.
Extortion - The King of negotiation.Ziwi you might have to do a deal with her, you'll join hers if she'll join yours
I'll join her challenge too if she signs up to the 25,000.
I love it.
I thought we were doing this on MacRumors - I do not know who she is and whether or not she is a MacRumors entity or even a Mac user. That was Mud_Bug's challenge - maybe he knows her or he made it public...I do not know the association.
I agree - We should limit it to MR users. But new users are welcome.
i also agree. we can always get people to join MR, and then join our challenges.

ok, I thought she was a MR user with a different screen name. In either case I think there is a good chance these people are Mac users. I bet that a (small) majority of the people on Nike + are Mac users
I it is an excellent idea to try to make them sign up for MR. Ok, our reasons might be a bit murky, but the more the merrier

ok. she's in a lot of the challenges that i'm in, so i guess i'll send her a PM on nike+ forums. maybe kitty also. i know she's a mac user. but is this against MR rules?
Sorry ziwi, looks like I have brought some pressure upon you
I noticed she had asked you, via the trash talk on nike+, to join her team challenge. You must have missed it.
I asked for runners in the 1000 in 2008 challenge, to come here for the 25,000. Signing up to macrumors must have put them off.

MR has that effect on people...
I'm still wondering about how to get "in the loop" so to speak as far as invites are concerned. I'll try talking some smack when I wander through nike.com again...but I need to get my sleep-schedule back on track before I can start training for my next event (2 person marathon relay).
well, according to my spreadsheet, we're getting closer. the spreadsheet doesn't exactly match the nike+ site, i think b/c it takes in more than 2 decimal places, even though it only shows 2.
but even still, we are now only 219 miles behind pace. again, according to my spreadsheet, which could be wrong

I have updated twoodcc's spreadsheet and we are still 291 miles off pace. In all fairness, this compilation was done 8 AM EST (2 PM CET) so we will hopefully gain some extra miles today.
We would also like to thank ddollar alias rundanrun for joining us and thus adding 16.92 fresh miles to the challenge.
