What to do?

Well, I went into this whole transition not expecting much and hoping to be surprised and get a lot with the 'upgrade' but I am pretty sure I got even less than I expected. I miss coolrunning's easy to navigate and use running log, where I could just put in a time and distance and the weather and click add workout. And now a lot of my data is coming up as blue which the very advanced calendar legend says is a 'planned workout' and I have no idea how to make them all completed workouts, which I know they are. Any ideas how to do that? Also, I had exported all of my coolrunning log to Excel in early November, so most of my data is stored there - anyone know of a place where they will upload my old data to their site for me, or will I have to start all over again on my own once I realize Active isn't worth it? Thanks for the help.

I'm having a lot of mine come up blue as well, and while I have figured out how to make them "completed" (in calendar view click the blue workout, then when that workout loads in the "daily log" page click the Log button in the top right corner), the idea of going back through years of workouts to change them all to completed sounds like a complete pain in the ***! They can't seriously expect us to do that? I don't understand why some are marked as completed and some aren't, they're all the same types of freaking log entries! I'm so frustrated... And where are my totals? Why can't I see a numerical figure for my yearly or monthly mileage? Isn't that one of the major points of a running log? Did they even consult runners when they were designing this new system?

The calendar is a freaking pain in the *** to find, I can't believe I actually managed to stumble on it somehow. There's probably an easier way to get to it, but the only way I've found is to -

1> Go to "My Active" (the link is in the top right of this page)

2> There's a box on the right hand side that says "Are you an organizer?", in that box click on "View your training plans".

3> It should load up a page titled "Getting started with active trainer", but if you then click on the green Log In button in the top right of the page, it loads the calendar

Surely there must be an easier way?
