"I always loved running...it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs."
Jesse Owens
"Success is not measured by what you accomplish but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds."
Orison Swett Marden
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

Half Marathon training will have to take place at first light of the day or at the gym. Don't like treadmills, but they serve a purpose when our temps are high. Lately 106.0 -

I completely understand about the treadmill. That's all I used to do but once I went outdoors, man it changed me...\

Glad your recovery is going well and the elliptical stride sounds fun even though I call the elliptical the "child of satan," LOL0 -

Awesome miles Sunshine!!!
LOL, I have to admit Runkeeper actually is the one that does all the work, I just have to make sure I type in right. 0 -
Was running @5:45 am under a cool cloud cover. 6.25 mi. Today's run took me to a 6% grade which is fairly steep. 1st 1/4 mi tough, great downhill run. Walked on the return till I could begin running again. Felt great and ran most of the way back home. This will be my 5th Half Marathon. This time all trails, vineyards and roads, no asphalt.
Have an Awesome Day!

I've been in the pool this week Sun, Mon, Tuesday a total of 3 hour and 15 minutes. Over and back, over and back, etc. etc. Some folks sing in the rain and I've been swimming in the rain. Won't be going today and choose to NOT go NEAR it tomorrow since it'll be packed.
Catch you Friday.
Keep on Goin' Tommy and all others!!!0 -

Awesome job Tommy, I wish I was more of a morning person, running in the evening is the closest I get to cooler weather to run in during the week. The weekend I have to talk my rear out the door, I get more motivated the as the day goes on unfortunately so does the heat, lol...

So today I spent 1 hour and 45 minutes in the water so that is WTD, 5 hours. I stick one of those "noodles" between my legs and head to the deep end and just "run in place" never touching bottom. It takes me forever to reach the end but I told one of the girls today, I don't care how quickly I get there. I just care about how many "steps" I take or how long I'm moving. Actually, it's getting rather fun!
Hope everyone has a great day.0 -

Ended the week with 6 hours and 50 minutes in the pool. Just checking in to say "hey" and for waht it's worth I'm 7 weeks and 14 pounds down. Yes, I'm excited about that but even more important is how I am feeling. I feel (except for the doggone knee) like I've lost 50. Exercise is the reason I feel so much better. No doubt about it.0
