“I run because if I didn’t, I’d be sluggish and glum and spend too much time on the couch. I run to breathe the fresh air. I run to explore. I run to escape the ordinary. I run…to savor the trip along the way. Life becomes a little more vibrant, a little more intense. I like that.”
― Dean Karnazes

“I run because long after my footprints fade away, maybe I will have inspired a few to reject the easy path, hit the trails, put one foot in front of the other, and come to the same conclusion I did: I run because it always takes me where I want to go.”
― Dean Karnazes


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)

    Sunday - 60 min elliptical - 5k

    Decided to log in around 5k for 40 to 60 min on elliptical as the panel is not working and am still waiting for the technician

    Today I completed my first half of 2013 (never thought those words would come out my mouth). Not my best run but it taught me something. When it gets hard push through it and finish, regardless of the time you finish (well in this case it better be under 3 hr because they closed the course after that)

    Sunday 13.1 miles

    Way to go Nonafit.

    That's AWESOME, thinktank32K! Congratulations on getting through the half!

    My own stats are not nearly so incredible:

    Sunday: Big fat goose egg. Nada.
    Monday: 8.53 miles, stationary bike followed by Pilates

    WTD: 8.53 miles

    I did manage to complete a challenge today that my Pilates instructor gave me earlier in the month (holding a relatively tough position for 3 full minutes). While it's nothing compared to running a half, it still felt good to accomplish it!
