I understand that no one wants to dress like me. I blame the fact that I wore a Catholic school uniform for 12 years. Then, I replaced it with running clothes and bada-bing you’ve got a girl with no style.
Buuuut, if you like to run and you like to eat you might want a Run Eat Repeat shirt…

I’m starting to plan Pile on the Miles 2012 and wanted to ask you all a few questions so I can make it fun and motivating for everyone.
Pile on the Miles is a yearly contest/game we play on RER in November to encourage each other to pile on miles, not pounds as the holiday season ramps up . Everyone who wants to play signs up and updates a spreadsheet or in the comments with how many miles they’re walked or ran. Everyone is welcome to participate but in the past we’ve counted miles walked or ran not biked or flown.
Please answer these poll questions and feel free to write in more/follow up info in the comments.

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I’m not allowed to run for at least another 4 weeks so I can’t participate even though I love the idea.
WAHHHHHHHH WAHHHHHHHHH WAHHHHHHHHHHH. Okay I’m done 🙂
It doesn’t start until Nov 1st so you might be able to 🙂
Oh yay!!!! I’ll have to start in quarter-mile increments but I like this idea! Totally on board (if cleared by the big D-R)!
What about biking too?
I’m not sure about biking because it throws off the fairness if we’re counting mileage.
I agree with a couple of other comments about providing two awards, if possible. One for participation and one for most miles. Now that I am cross-training, my overall mileage is down compared to 6 months ago.
I am a Weight Watchers member, so I keep my information tallied in their tracking system. Also, because I am a numbers junkie, I keep a Google Docs spreadsheet with mileage, minutes, calories, etc.
I wasn’t around this blog last year, so I am excited to participate! And of course I voted random winner because now that I cross-train, I ain’t beatin’ no one when it comes to racking up the miles. Too risky on the injury front.
Great idea1 I definitely need this right now. I’m trying to increase my weekly mileage, but it’s difficult.
I use runkeeper
I have zero style as well so I can relate. I def think I might need to participate in your challenge this year!
Pile on the Miles sounds interesting. Maybe it will be what I need to find my running groove again.
yes!!! POTM is back! Loved it last year and will definitely participate this year! 🙂
This sounds like a particularly grand idea. It will be good motivation to get my mileage up to my 10 mile goal. I’m in.
I think you should add Ellptical option for those of us who don’t run/walk.
I think the challenge should run a week longer than last years. That way if we did overeat Wednesday-Saturday (in celebration of Thanksgiving) then we have a week to redeem the “pile on the miles” if we did “pile on a couple of pounds” 🙂
Excited to get the spreadsheet!
I LOVE my RER t-shirt. As a matter of fact, I loved it so much I bought another one for my sis and a different color for me! So I have two!!!! They are so soft and fit great. My favorite “go to” t-shirt!
Can’t wait for POTM! I participated last year too!
Sweet!!! In November I’ll be just starting back up after having this bambino…I’m going to need to pile on the miles to get off the pounds that have piled on!!
We wear uniforms up to high school! And yes, pOTM sounds like something I would definitely sign up for, not really for losing weight but as an accountability tool.
In Australia all schools wear uniforms, public and private. I miss uniforms 🙁 I get jealous of the nurses and doctors at work wearing scrubs. Why don’t scientists wear scrubs? They look sooooo comfortable.
Lab coats are over rated…
I analyze the date from my Garmin on the Garmin website.
If possible, I think winners should be chosen both ways – some random and some by most miles or most consistent runs/walks
Sounds great, a good way to keep my on track since my 1/2 is over in October! gotta stay motivated some how.
I can’t wait to hear more about it!
For winners I would most miles and maybe a random or most improved.
I am not a big runner and this will be my first POTM. So seeing someone who may be doing less miles but still being consistent would be a great motivator.
That’s a good idea! I definitely gained 20 lbs over last Nov and Dec…oops! I’d like to not do that again
I use mapmyrun
What is POTM?
P.S. Love the Mexi-can shirt!
“Pile on the Miles” it’s a contest of sorts that I hold in November to encourage piling on miles not pounds 🙂
I was wondering if you would possibly be interested in running the 50mile Catalina trail run in January. I really want to do it, but will definetely need someone to train with. Email me if you are interested. I am doing LB in a few weeks and I figured I will just continue on with training after the race.
I can’t decide how winners should be chosen. I use a journal to keep track of my mileage.

Had to go back to last year and read about what it was, but after reading it I have to say that sounds like a lot of fun!! I’m totally in!
Hey are you going to be at Tinkerbell 1/2 in 2013?
