Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown."
-H. Ross Perot

"If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done."
-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 :)

"I am a slow walker, but I never walk backwards."
-Abraham Lincoln

On your mark, get set....Go

    Hi All. I haven't been here for a few days. I'm on vacation at the beach so haven't been checking in as often and more important, finally made an appointment with a bone and joint doc regarding my knee. The appt is not until 7/30/13 but I guess that comes with making appointments with a highly recommended doc. I asked if they would give me a call if there is a cancellation but they indicated they did not have a cancellation list though I was welcome to call each day to see if they could "get me in" on an earlier date.

    They, of course, could not give me specific recommendations for the period between now and my appointment date except to say, "Since you are at the beach, do NOT walk in the sand".

    Be back soon.

    I hope you enjoy your time at the beach. Kind of hard to enjoy the ocean w/o walking on the beach though. I hope your appointment goes well :)
