Exercise alone provides psychological and physical benefits. However, if you also adopt a strategy that engages your mind while you exercise, you can get a whole host of psychological benefits fairly quickly. – James Rippe, MD

By exercise. I’ll tell you one thing, you don’t always have to be on the go. I sit around a lot, I read a lot, and I do watch television. But I also work out for two hours every day of my life, even when I’m on the road. – Jack LaLanne

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 :)

If you don’t do what’s best for your body, you’re the one who comes up on the short end. – Julius Erving

    Girls!!! You are going great! Loving to see your runs/walks....no crawls yet.

    Have not fall the wagon but busy with my brother's pre wedding ceremony on tommorrow, wedding on Friday and back to back wedding dinners on Saturday and Sunday. Ehmm...my brother and future sister in law is lucky to have a sister like me. But I am so damn tired...caught flu and fever as well. I will back full swing after that.

    I am watching my food though whether log in or not.

    Interim I am getting all the satisfaction and motivation watching you doing your things on road. Way to go. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

  • Hi everyone. Looks like you are off to an awesome week. My week started out with volunteering for the Hot Chocolate 15k/5k Race. I had to be out there by 5:30 am and did not make it home til about 12:30pm. To say I was exhausted is an understatement. Yesterday was a day off for me besides my ab, planks and pushups.

    Sunday 0
    Monday 0
    Tuesday 3.1 mile run

    Nonafit they are very lucky to have you
    Deedsie awesome run on Sunday
    Luv and Mel great start to the week
