This months challenge:
First person to 30 miles will receive a post card from me!
This challenge is to help build on the endurance you are creating. To ensure an injury free challenge, I am keeping the miles minimal. One of the best cross training you can do alongside the C25K is walking. Walking helps build time on your feet, and it uses the same muscles you run with but in a different way. That is one main goal of a cross training supplement.
To help keep track of your miles done you can use a ticker from tickerfactory.com. You can post your updated tickers here or post once you have completed. The first person to 30 miles will receive a message from me requesting your address (yes I will even mail to over seas!) and will be announced here!
(I am shamelessly copying rduhlir's message from last month. I wouldn't want to change the Challenge in any way.)

Ok - I'm in - is that 30 miles running or includes walking too? I tend to count all my steps all day long so if it should only be a dedicated walk, I need to know that - I can track that seperately if needed.0

In! But to keep it fair I am upping my mileage to 50 miles.0

That sounds great ! I am in ~ Thanks for the initiative
This includes Run / Walk or Only Run?0 -
To keep it fair and give all a chance, the distance covered during any C25K training session (walking and running) can be counted and, for those who have graduated the program, any running/training session.
Walking outside of the program isn't counted (too much of an advantage).
rduhlir, thanks for keeping in the spirit of the Challenge!0 -
5 miles down, 45 to go0

Alright then! I'm in for 50 as well. No way I can keep up with Varda and Becky but 50 in a month is a good challenge for me. Deep breath and off we go!
P.s. LOVE the receivee being the next challenger. You rock Petra!0 -
