"We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves...The more restricted our society and work become, the more necessary it will be to find some outlet for this craving for freedom. No one can say, 'You must not run faster than this, or jump higher than that.' The human spirit is indomitable."
-Sir Roger Bannister, first runner to run a sub-4 minute mile
"What distinguishes those of us at the starting line from those of us on the couch is that we learn through running to take what the days gives us, what our body will allow us, and what our will can tolerate."
-John Bingham, running writer and speaker
Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later the man who wins, is the man who thinks he can. Vince Lombardi
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

rained yesterday so no roller coasters. I managed a 1 mile walk/jog before it began to pour. Planning a few miles with Lisa sansone today. Maybe all 5. We'll see.0 -
It has been raining all day so I did this in front of my computer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZaxHsOdI1o (Body Sculpt: Walking for Fitness on youtube).
While they talked in the beginning, I walked in place with low impact aerobic type steps and kicks. While they did their ab work and stretches I walked again with the low aerobic type steps/kicks. Then I did 20 minutes more of the same. Whew. Not sure how I should count all that so far as miles but I'm going to give my self credit for 4 miles (70 minitues). I quite enjoyed the 2 instructors. For me, it was a good workout. Quite proud of myself today.
