Hi 4midables!  I'm still hanging around mostly at RWOL (this is my first-ever post on RunningAhead).  I will get my avitar picture posted over here sometime soon, and might even add a signature line.

Things seem to be working okay over at RWOL right now, but I have a sense that many of the people who left during the spam and upgrade problems are gone from RWOL for good.  Chermoni asked me the other day whether we had a Facebook page.  We don't have one, but we could, if that's what people want.  

Please weigh in on where you would like us to conduct our team discussions: on RWOL, on RunningAhead, on Facebook, or somewhere else?  A local tavern is probably not a winning option, as we are spread over a pretty wide area.  We can probably keep things going in multiple locations if we need to.  I'd rather keep it to two locations rather than three or four, if that's possible.

Hope your running is going well.  I'm gradually getting over a cold.  That kept me from running for most of last week, but things are getting back close to normal.

Hi Bob, glad you made it over.

Hope you get over that cold soon enough; I do stop over RWOL occasionally, I'm mainly on RA, would prefer that but whichever the team decides on is OK by me,  I post my miles pretty religiously anyway.

I'm on Facebook so that wouldn't be a problem either.

I've got no problem keeping twin threads going, Zel.  The only downside to that is that any RWOL-only people will never interact with the RA-only people, and vice versa.  

We got a new runner assigned yesterday: jedigunnie26.2.  And I don't know if you looked at yesterday's results thread, but we came in at #2, which is our highest position in a long time.  Way to go,l Team 4midable.  And welcome aboard to jedigunnie26.2,   Stop in and say hello.  And I'm not sure we've heard from our other recent add, jjchouinard.  Welcome to the team!

Hi Billy - and welcome aboard.  The points are awarded each week based on team standings.  There are 13 teams, and I think the #1 team gets 13 points for the week, the #13 team gets one point, and you can guess how the points get assigned in between.  The game resets every three months (more or less), so the total points are whatever the team has accumulated since the last reset.  Miles Game is generally a pretty laid-back competition.  Also - one thing that distinguished the Miles Game from the 2012in2012 is that while we like to get 100% posting, there is no 10% bonus in this game like there is in the 2012in2012.

I'm still on RWOL.  For the time being I'll keep a team thread going over there, and another team thread going over here.  The only down side to that is that people who are on RA-only will never interact with the people who are RWOL-only.  Although frankly, since the recent exodus things are pretty quiet over there.  I'm probably not going to start a Facebook group, since I figure two team threads should be enough.

I like half marathons, and for where I am now, finishing one in under two hours makes it a happy day for me.  My next race is the Pittsburgh half in early May of 2013.  

Hey 4midables!  I think I've been on this team for about two years, and this is the first time I can recall this.  Results for the week were just posted, and WE CAME IN AT #1 FOR THE WEEK!  WAY TO GO 4midables! 

We're #1! We're #1! That's so awesome!
