Hey everyone, one billion miles will be ticked in the next 12+ hours - how is Garmin celebrating?

I think it would be awesome if they capture that user who uploads the magical mile and give them a shout out, or a new device!!! Thoughts?

What's happening for the billionth?

    With your help over the last four years, Garmin Connect is quickly approaching a HUGE milestone. One billion miles logged! That's a whole lotta running, cycling, hiking, kayaking, cross country skiing and other activities that you and fellow fitness enthusiasts around the world have logged. At Connect, users can quickly and easily log their workouts, track their totals, set goals, share workouts with friends and family and participate in an online fitness community of more than 70 million activities around the world. Garmin Connect displays metrics such as time, distance, pace, elevation and heart rate. This information is shown through charts, illustrations, reports and maps.

    Within the nearly one billion miles uploaded are paddling adventures, personal bests at local running events, cycling tours through the alps, hiking in remote backcountry and so much more. We would love for you to send us an email with your unique activities and we'll feature them within the next couple weeks. email us at [email][email protected][/email].

    We also want to let you know that we will be giving away one of our GPS devices to the person who logs the billionth mile! So if you've been logging those miles at Connect already, keep it up. If you own a Garmin and aren't yet connected, get started today. It's free! And it's just one more way to make every outdoor adventure more fun.

    Oops, sorry! I searched the blog and apparently it's not a great text searching device - "billion" didn't locate anything.

    I'm happy they are doing exactly what I proposed. :D
