Welcome to the MFP runners' Team Challenge! Each month we set running goals and then track our miles and encourage each other to keep it up. Check in here for

July!

To join us, all you need to do is visit the spreadsheet below and record your information on the first tab. The second tab tallies the results.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkmK3myW0PepdC05SGZZWHdpc0hBLVY0azZWR0hUT0E

To get started, you need to enter your name and your GOAL for July. Let us know in the comments if you have any difficulties doing this. Then, enter your mileage each day. Everything should be automatically tallied on the second page of the spreadsheet -- please DON'T edit the second page!. Let us know if it's not working and we'll fix it!

Important: Enter your name/goal at the bottom of the list; we'll sort it periodically. It doesn't work to add a name to the middle!

*** Spreadsheet:

As usual -- to refresh the spreadsheet -> click the refresh :happy: button on your browser, or try CTRL+R then CTRL + F5 a couple of times if you are using the Windows OS, or replace the CTRL key with Command key if you are on a MAC, or, Command+R and then Command+Shift+R on a MAC. We will try to update this a few times each week, or you can always visit the Google Doc spreadsheet to see the latest!

    Just 100 for me this month. Tapering, 50K on the 26th and then recovery. Low mileage month for me.

    100 miles for me. I will need to run earlier b/c it is so hot (and I said that last month)!

    I have NO idea what my plan calls for: I only see it weekly! and, it's mostly by time, not miles. Every "goal" I make is a guess! the only mileage I know for sure are RACES!

    My plan calls for 165 miles. I find that scary so 150 it is! (Also scary.)

    I'm changing my goal to 120 miles. I'm taking some time off.

    In for 180, around the lowest my training plan would call for for the month. I have 10 days of travel, which is again going to complicate things, but I'm trying to plan so I still get a relatively decent week in when gone.

    I strained my hip on a Trail race last month - the reason for the lower miles in June - and my physical therapist is saying "no" to running for a few weeks. :sad: Guess I need to sit out this month's challenge. Thanks!

    In for 100 miles this month. I'd like to shoot for 120, but I didn't even make 100 in June so don't want to get too ambitious. Maybe 120 in August! :smile:

    In for 100--will likely be treadmill for the most part--so hot and humid in florida recently.

    Time to get in for July.

    Training plans call for 150 - formal plan for my first marathon starts on July 21.

    Gonna actually cut back a bit because June was such a huge month, and be conservative rather than push.

    Putting in 145 as the goal.
