“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)

    Good workout! You could taunt the kids about the fact that you are more fit than him, but I guess that's not nice. :tongue: :noway:

    Quite a run, Wiglet! Were those hill repeats? those always kill me.
    Once in wintertime when I had not had a good pre-run snack, I had a vision of a St. Bernard coming to revive me w/ some brandy
    during Hill Repeats.

    No need for hill repeats... there's just lots n lots of hills in my area to run... dropped the car off for an oil change.. met some friends and ran 5mi out & 5mi back. Had two water jugs set out along the way.. could have used two more!

    Hah! St. Bernard... Serious note, tho: I hope someone at least knows where you run, JIC of emergencies at least.. and you carry info & phone with you...

    Right one little hill six times in a row. I mean look at the bright side, one you get up it you get to go right back down.
