"Play not only keeps us young but also maintains our perspective about the relative seriousness of things. Running is play, for even if we try hard to do well at it, it is a relief from everyday cares."
- Jim Fixx
"You also need to look back, not just at the people who are running behind you but especially at those who don't run and never will... those who run but don't race...those who started training for a race but didn't carry through...those who got to the starting line but didn't in the finish line...those who once raced better than you but no longer run at all. You're still here. Take pride in wherever you finish. Look at all the people you've outlasted."
- Joe Henderson
15 miles starting Sunday and ending Saturday... Yep that easy and you know you can do it! Just log your daily miles, the total miles for the week and encourage your fellow challengers to make their goals, yep it's that easy.
"Run when you can. Walk when you must. Crawl if you have to. Just never give up." Dean Karnazes, the Ultramarathon Man
For the folks returning you know that the 15 miles is not the main goal. The main goal is just to get up and get moving, if you don't meet it that's fine and you surpass it, well that just freaking rocks.
For new comers the preferred method of posting miles would be:
Sunday-miles-what you did Monday-miles-what you did Tuesday-miles-what you did So on and so forth, posted daily or when the miles occur...
Total- Running total for the week thus far
As always this is not set in stone, if you post every other day or whatever fits into your schedule, but please try to stay close to the above format.
For those folks that don't do miles

for conversion to be made easy (Thanks Nonafit)
Now let's get moving folks

The above is better than nothing and the walking partners keep me getting up and out but I need to commit to walk another mile after "the lake loop". Betteryet, make a second loop! Never the less decent AM for a walk. Humid but breezy.0 -

Well, I should not have been such a warrior yesterday. I've not been to the doc but am quite convinced this nagging pain I've had in my knee is a torn meniscus and yesterday was just too much. :ohwell: I can put my finger right on the spot on the inside of my left knee. I'm going to stay with this group if no one minds and just keep reporting my "time in the water". I spent 2 hours in the pool today (mostly on a noodle) but in constant motion with either arms, legs, or both.
I head to the beach for a week in a few weeks and hopefully I'll be able to do some walking there in the compacted sand, which as I think about it may not be a good idea because of the "twisting motion" that could occur . We'll see.

I signed up for my 5th Half Marathon, which will take place Oct 20. This is hilly, vineyards, dirt roads, and the price 29.00, hardly ever heard of anymore! This will give an idea of what I can expect as I train for the LA marathon next year. There's also a few hills in that as well.0
