      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.

      I"m in! I generally get in 1-2miles a day due to the type of work I do, so I'llgo for an additional 1-2 a day in some other form of activity:)

      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 :) I've been trying to get myself to jog and run more so this should be good motivation. I'm going to try to go above and beyond the goal :D

      I'm in! I'm doing a 5k in October and I would like to complete the entire thing (huge hill in the course) without stopping to walk. Thanks for starting this!

      I'm in! I'm dog-sitting and I won't have a dog to walk after the first week of August, but my walking group starts up again mid-month. =)

      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:
