Exciting news! Eden Athletics now has a new, automated system for tracking our miles! As many of you know, for the past two years, the task of tracking the Edenquest's progress around the globe has been a completely manual process, requiring someone (thank you, Frank and Alyie!) to tally the miles posted each day by all of our members. For obvious reasons, we are interested in a system which will not place this burden on only one or two people. During the next couple of weeks, we would like members to become familiar with the process of logging miles using the new Edenometer, so that we can officially launch the system on January 1st.

This is not intended in any way to replace the daily log, and in fact, the Edenometer is designed to track numbers only. Please continue to use the daily log as you are using it now, as it is the energy and emotion of your entries which serve to keep us all motivated and inspired. Once you post your run on the website, click on the link to the Edenometer (located in the gray bar across the top of the EA webpage) and make your quick numerical entry there as well.

The Edenometer uses a system designed by Google which allows multiple users to enter data. As such, it requires each user to have an account with Google. This is free, and can be done simply by choosing a username and a password, much like our current website. When you click on the link below, if you do not already have an account with Google, you can create one, and then will be directed to the Edenometer.

For now, only the runners who post regularly on our website are listed, but others can easily be added to the list. If you do not see your name on the list, and would it to be there, please email me ( edenometer@edenathletics.com) and I will add it right away. The more miles, the merrier!

So check it out, have fun with it, and let me know what you think!
