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

We all have dreams. In order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline and effort.
Jesse Owens

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 :)

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.

    Thu 3 mi brisk walk
    Fr 2 mi walk
    Sat 12 mi run/jog/w

    Total 45.65 mi

    Sat my goal was to run at least 10 mi. Got to site @ 5:20 am. Stretching and warm-ups. 5:30 started run. The first leg 4.5 mi; back @ 7am meetup with running grp. Today we decided to do our mi by walking fast! 3.5 mi with grp. Visited with grp very briefly and I was off for more mi. It was great to break up run, I began to feel it. I completed my run! 12 mi greatest feeling to accomplish a goal!

    3 wks from today embarking on my 5th H marathon! This is going to be my most challenging H, since it is hill, vineyards and dirt roads

    Congratulations to the whole group! You are all amazing!!
