    I'll play! I'll go for the 60 miles.

    I think I can manage 97km (I use the metric system)

    You should make a group. I'll be using runkeeper to log

    I'm in for this as I have to run a 10k in October and don't do much running so 50 miles will work well for me! Good luck everyone.

    Technically it's 96.56 or something. Just round it up to 97 tho!

    I participated in the July challenge and learned a lot so I can plan better for hitting August goal.
    Goal: 60 miles.

    I'm in too. Was thinking about c25k, but need to lose some before I try that, otherwise I will probably not be able to walk at all. :wink:
