"The body does not want you to do this. As you run, it tells you to stop but the mind must be strong. You always go too far for your body. You must handle the pain with strategy...It is not age; it is not diet. It is the will to succeed."
- Jacqueline Gareau, 1980 Boston Marathon champ

"As an athlete, when you least expect it, you may find yourself standing on the threshold of an accomplishment so monumental that it strikes fear into your soul. You must stand ready, at any moment, to face the unknown. You must be ready to walk boldly thru the wall of uncertainty."
-John Bingham

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 :)

    Sunday - 12k run + 2k walk

    Did a 12k race today. May be shouldn't have. The muscle pain (not sure if its something more serious) from last week's walk race event had not completely healed. I only managed 33k when my target was 50k. I did light activity yesterday to keep myself agile for today's 12k race. The mistake was I wore Crocs instead of my sport shoes. In return it gave me blisters.

    Today's race route was challenging with plenty of inclines + new running shoes+ blisters courtesy of Crocs + muscle pain from last week.
    Con: I can barely walk properly. Limping. My friends claim I can start parking in handicap parking lot.
    Pro: I am still figuring what's the pro part.
