alexseanchai - 50% mileage goal
temve - 100% mileage and 100% time goal [1]
raininshadows - 76% mileage and 100% time goal
semielliptical - 85% mileage and 138% time goal
ell - 32% mileage and 148% time goal [2]
ridicully - 12% mileage and 100% time goal
meri_oddities - 101% mileage and 100% time goal
blnchflr - 90% mileage and 71% time goal
ilanarama - 111% mileage goal [3]
zulu - 28% mileage goal
[1] winner of the "Pinpoint Accuracy" award. Or maybe the "Didn't keep track but made up the numbers" award... :-)
[2] winner of the "Skewed Priorities" award. See, if you'd just run in that extra time you would totally have beaten your mileage goal! :-)
[3] winner of the "Sandbagger" award. In my defense I didn't quite make my goal last time so I was conservative!
cadenzamuse did not declare goals but added some mileage and time to our aggregate. Which totals out to 584 miles, approximately 82% of our planned 714 miles for the month. This is the distance that ultrarunner Lisa Smith-Batchen ran as the "Quad Badwater", a fundraising stunt in which she ran the 135-mile Badwater course four times and added on a little extra, over a bit more than 14 days - less than half the time it took all eleven of us to cover this distance! (Of course, she wasn't doing anything else other than eating and sleeping...) [It really is worth reading the linked article, if only to convince yourself that you never want to do this.]
Our total active hours added up to 122, 120% of our aggregate goal. 122 hours is also, apparently, the duration of the hijacking of Lufthansa Flight 181 in 1977, as it inspired the Screamers, an American synthpunk group founded in 1975, to write the song 122 Hours of Fear. Hopefully you enjoyed your active hours and they didn't scare you.

In related news I finally watch the Barkley Marathons documentary, and it was very entertaining, and it was especially fun to finally see James Adams in moving pictures and sound!
