"It's very hard in the beginning to understand that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners. Eventually you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants you to quit." -Dr. George Sheehan

"Running is a gift I give myself almost daily. Even at days when everything seems to go wrong, I treat myself on the satisfaction of a lap of 30 to 40 minutes."-Arthur Blank

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 :)

    Ack! Being in Hawaii, I totally forgot to log my miles from last week, but I did have 17 running miles and 10 walking miles, as I have been walking everywhere while here!

    As for this week:

    9/2 6 miles running, 2 miles walking = 8 total
    9/3 1 mile walking = 9 total

    Not sure how much I will get as now I have a nasty cold. :(
  • 8/02 3 mile run

    thanks, thinktank and wiglet! thinktank you're off to a great start this week, too! have a great training week, verueshka. how exciting to run a half!

    well, school starts today so my schedule will be a lot busier. i hope i will be able to keep running. there's another 5k club run on sunday, and i will try to use that as a motivator.

    sun: 5k
    mon: rest day. also inner thigh is sore - will be doing a lot of gentle stretching this week.
