    I'll take part because I've already been for a jog this morning!

    I'll post today's results before I go to bed.
    Great challenge!
    (also for anyone who doesn't measure anything in fluid ounces, 80 is approximately 2.27 liters)

    I'll try although I know I don't have that much time for running....I wish I had a pedometer, I'm sure I walk that much in any given day...

    Water will be no problem! Not sure I will find time for 3 miles a day, but I will try. Time to go find a pedometer.

    The fact that I don't wanna tells me I oughtta ... so (sigh) I'm in! (I'm a stepping machine/dvd workout girl, but I think getting out there and hoofing it will be good for me).

    I usually drink tons of water (four 24-oz bottles per day), but I've been slacking lately.

    Okay - here we go! Ack!

    you must have known that I had been slacking off on water this weekend and told myself last night that it was time to start chug-a-lugging again. Funny, drinking beer doesn't count toward water intake - who knew?!? :laugh:

    I've also challenged myself to walking the baby to the sitter and then off to work at least 1 day/week this whole month. That's 6 miles round-trip. I'm going to try for twice this week, which will bring me to 12 miles. Now I just have to think about getting in those other 9 miles.

    Looking forward tot he stellar combination of miles and water!

    Thanks for that!! We Brits don't do the fluis ounces thing so that always confuses me! I always went on the number of pint glasses instead.

    Okay, I think I can do this one! (I totally bombed last weeks challenge :embarassed: ). I'm on Week 6 of C25K, walking son everyday on his last week of school and so I should be able to just add in some extra miles to make it! Good luck everyone!

    Did you know American pints are different than British pints? American is only 16oz while Brit's are 20oz. This is the kind of random thing you learn when you are a beer brewer's wife :laugh:

    Yahoo! I'm in too. That's a much tougher challenge than last week but I'm on for it.

    Water should be no problem but the 3 miles.....I am willing to give it a go.

    Many thanks for inspiring us!
