"I run with my head, my heart and my guts, because physically, I don't think I've got a great deal of talent or ability. I started at the bottom and worked up."
-Steve Jones, former marathon world record holder

"Good physical training is important. But what goes on in your head will determine whether you'll win or lose, whether you'll be able to break through a psychological barrier or not – and whether you'll hold a medal in your hands and smile with satisfaction at the end."
-Tim Noakes

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 :)

"Mental will is a muscle that needs exercise, just like the muscles of the body."

    Sunday 11/4: 3.00 miles, elliptical, standard incline since I haven't worked out in 4 days. :(
    Monday 11/5: 3.00 miles, elliptical

    Total Week-to-date: 6.00 miles, Remaining: 9.00 miles

    ***Anyone have a fit bit? I know you can calibrate your steps, but my "normal" steps are pretty short, considering I'm only 5'2". So when I do the elliptical, I'm almost .60 miles OFF (i.e. elliptical shows a greater distance than my FitBit). You would THINK the elliptical would be the most accurate measure given there is a fixed stride length for each revolution, right???
