    Thanks Zelanie. That was one of the suggested goals in the original post but just in case I'll put it in miles. Here is my revised info:

      Hmm, as much as I am on this stupid site, it is an oddity that I have never played in any of the reindeer mileage games, but I suppose the thought is intriguing.

       

      I normally do not set yearly mileage goals (I just run whatever I run), so what happens if you come up short of your stated goal, or run way more than it?

        Nothing at all.  The mileage goal serves two purposes, as I understand it:  1) To help divide the teams evenly, and 2) To give you something to shoot for personally.  You just make an estimate based on what you think you'll run.  I'm planning two marathons in 2014 so I'm hoping for a big year.

            As an admin for 2014, I would also like to know where do the members signing up prefer to post: RA, RWOL, or FB.  With that, we can decide where to host it better.

              As Phil mentioned, nothing. But I would suggest you look at what you've run over the last 2-3 years to get an idea and then consider your goals for 2014. The teams are based on what you project / pledge. If you put down 2000 miles that's what is used when dividing up the teams. Should you end up running 1000 miles then your team would be 1000 miles in the hole. Because of that I tend to downscale my projections so I'm not handicapping my team from the start. EX: for the last 2-3 years I've put down 3000 miles and my actual mileage was 3500, 2800, and I'm sitting at 2550 right now [3000+ projected]. This year, as of week 43, the group of 248 runners are 11,014 miles behind their goal.

                I'm not real particular about where I load my weekly data.  My game socializing has been predominantly in our private FB group.

                  I'd prefer here but it looks like most folks are still on RWOL

                    I'm good with any of the log sites - they all allow me to upload from my Garmin easily, so adding another to the three I do already is no big deal.

                     

                    I like the idea of getting to know my team, but rarely use FB.  Is it possible to add a preferred social location to the team set up criteria, or does that overcomplicate the whole process?

                      I am on here a lot more than RWOL these days but wouldn't mind going over there for the game. I use Facebook too so anything is fine....if I had to vote though I'd say here.

                        I don't have any preference over where we log miles. However, we still have people that don't use certain sites, so we've had to keep a presence at all three locations.

                          Personally I would like to post on RA, because I only go over to RWOL to post my team miles. It doesn't matter to me honestly, but I would guess that there are a lot of RWOL-only people in the mileage game. I definitely could be wrong there.

                           

                          I did post over there initially, but that's because I saw it pop up.

                            RWOL or RA are fine with me.  I would prefer that we not do Facebook.
