Have you PM'ed Jensparks about your vacation? If I understand him correctly, you can still claim the consistency bonus if you tell him in advance that you are gone without internet access.<br><br>
Have a good vacation.
 
Morning all! Got in 3 miles running/walking - trying to get my system back on track after days of road food.<br><br>
Am I reading right that if you post to the main thread every time you have points you can get bonus points for that week? That seems too easy but I'll post there next....

Ok, I just caught up my weekend points in the daily thread. I didn't feel well most of the weekend, so there wasn't much to report. I'm hopefully on the upswing now!<br><br>
I don't see a preference on a <b>team name</b>. Let's try to settle that today...we have 13 team members, so the first name with 7 people posting agreement wins. If there's no majority by tomorrow morning, I'll just pick to get it over with!<br><br><b>Daily threads</b> - yes, it really is as simple as posting your workouts in the daily threads within a reasonable amount of time (daily or every couple of days) to get the bonus points. If you'll be gone more than a couple of days, send a PM to Jensparks before you leave.<br><br>
Ok, now go rack up some points!!
 
Hey kids - I am just checking in here after a fun filled weekend. Been an on-again, off-again runner for several years. Currently ramping up for a fall marathon, so I should be clicking off a solid 30 mpw. I also had a race Sat and may snag another race bonus here or there.
 
I already adopted the <b>Team Triple Threat</b> name in my daily posts and I vote for it.<br><br>
Edited to add: If we want to brand the acronym TTT for this name, we should act fast, as there is a name for team 2 which qualifies for that, too.
 
Hello Team! Finally checking in!<br><br>
I should be able to check in daily, except for the end of this week since I will be on vacation. I will PM jen to let her know. And for the y'all knowledge I'll be out Thursday thru Monday.<br><br>
Now I'm off to go log my points from the weekend!

Team,<br><br>
I noticed that a couple of people already were a few points off from what was posted in the threads and what was in the data base, so I asked for clarification from the commish on the daily thread posts bonus. I used an example, what if they post the main workout, but earn stretch points later in the day and get those in the database but not the thread. She says:<br><br><i>They should be posting all their workouts ... but if it's just a few points here & there no biggie. If it's the full 12 alt points though, they should be posting that. They can just edit their original post for the day, or reply to it (which is what I do).</i><br><br>
I don't want to nag, but I'm happy to ENCOURAGE. So, I will remind until someone tells me to quit nagging <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"> If the reminder applies to the majority, I'll put it here. If it's really one or two people, I'll use PMs. If I get too busy to be checking up on people, I'll let you know that you're on your own!<br><br>
- your cap'n
 
Uh oh, was it me? I always earn my 12 alternate points. I stretch several times a day and work in some core work, etc... My last stretching is late at night, so I just put that I will earn the points whenever I post my run or ride for the day.....

Well, yes, but you weren't alone...and I didn't double check my work, so I could have missed something! Everyone was higher in the database than the thread.
 
I just cross-checked, that my thread-entries and the database are in sync. Now I am off to the track to earn some points. ... Later

Just re-read this, it should have if there was a difference, it was higher in the database. I left the list at work, but I think it was 4 people. I'll try to recheck tomorrow and send PMs if there's still an issue.<br><br>
Sorry for adding to the confusion! Trust me, it's what I do best! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/roll_eyes.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="roll_eyes">
 
I see what happened. Yesterday I posted my early morning run but I expected that I would walk or ride later in the day. I never did. But I did get in my 12 alternate points. I forgot to go back and add them to the thread..... I just did.<br><br>
Thanks Captain!<br>
It won't happen again!
 
No confusion at all, Amichel. I just checked after your post to make sure.<br><br>
Does this mean that we are <b>Captain Chaos' Team</b>? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">

I'm definitely saving that idea for next time! <i>and hoping my husband doesn't see it...I don't think he'd let that one go very quickly!</i>

Ok, I have a new improved spreadsheet. I've double checked daily thread postings compared to the database through day 5 and there are only 2 people with discrepancies. I'll send PMs shortly. If you don't get a PM, you're all matchy-matchy already <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"><br><br>
- cap'n chaos <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="thumbup">
 
I am finally checking in. I apologize but I just got back from a trip to my parents and I had no idea before I left that they no longer had internet service. I will update my points now. I did a race this weekend so I even have some bonus points to contribute.
