"Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you."
-William James


"The most important key to achieving great success is to decide upon your goal and launch, get started, take action, move."
-John Wooden

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 :)

    Wed 2 mi walk
    Thur 4 mi brisk walk
    Fri 10 mi endurance ride
    Sat 3.5 mi run/walk at 4.0 mph

    Total 19.5

    Sun I participated in a 10 k. I really surprised myself. Had originally stated that I would walk the entire 6 mi. That didn't happen once we started. I ended up running most of the course and finished with a 90 min time and a medal for finishing in the top 200.
    Now I'm wanting to do whatever it takes to work very hard so I can put up better times in all my runs.
    We also had a great turnout from our running grp!
