"If you run, you are a runner. It doesn't matter how fast or how far. It doesn't matter if today is your first day or if you've been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, no membership card to get. You just run."
-John Bingham
"I often hear someone say I'm not a real runner. We are all runners, some just run faster than others. I never met a fake runner."
-Bart Yasso
"Even when you have gone as far as you can, and everything hurts, and you are staring at the specter of self-doubt, you can find a bit more strength deep inside you, if you look closely enough."
-Hal Higdon, running writer and coach:
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

Nice ride kpk, love that movie!0 -
Rest day today and Monday is a 11hr day at work, will be in the gym on my 3hr lunch on Tuesday and then again on Wednesday
Going to get butt back in this.
Sorry for lack of support I will work on that as well. I appreciate our friend Ms. Sloth for helping out with supporting, posting and sending emails.0 -
I had an awesome day! H marathon very successful! 3hrs 27 min. Today i mostly walked at a average pace of 15.45 min mi. What kept me from running much today was a blister I developed on Sat. To try to eleviate the pain I wore 2 blister band aids. It wasn't enough, so I walked most of course. I'm convinced that I can work on my time and walk these events and come out with a great time. The weather was mild and 70 degrees!
13.1 mi0 -
Great MB! If I ever start walking again that would be my ultimate goal...about a 15 minute mile.
Reece, get your butt in gear!

Me too Kathy, just got to keep with it!
Great job today!
Quick question, what's the difference between a recumbent and regular bike?0 -
Reese, I have a stationary recumbent. You can find them on the internet to see what they look like. On a regular stationary one sits on a regular type bike seat and sits strait or leans over the handle bars. On a stationary recumbent the seat is large (much more butt comfort) and low and sort of leans back.
