    I'm in! I missed my July goal by 25ish miles so I really want to meet my goal this month. My HM training plan has 111 mi. scheduled for July, but I think 75 is a safer bet for me. It sucks to be that far off, but I'm being realistic with weather, family obligations, etc.

    Good luck, everyone!

    Hmmmm a running challenge. I'm more of a cyclist, but I would like to try and vary my exercise. I'm not ashamed to start off way low at 25 miles for August. Now to figure out this ticker. . .

    I had a goal of 40 in July and (after today's planned run at lunch time, will have made goal, barely!). I would LIKE to increase my mileage for August, but I'm moving this month and have some other things going on, so I think even getting to 40 may prove a challenge, so I'm going to keep it at 40 miles for August and see what happens.

    Finally figured out the ticker thing too... Crikey! I made hard work of that!

    Figuring out the ticker will prove to be the more difficult and painful of the two.

    I meant to say I am going for 80 miles in August. Ran 70 in June, hardly any in July, but am on track for 80 since I signed up for my first 8K, and 10K in September and my first 1/2 Marathon for the end of October. I am extremely goal-oriented and signing up for these runs give me a specific goal.

    I decided since I ran 177 miles last month (with 165 in my plan) it doesn't make sense to declare 180 as my goal with 205 in my plan. Still 200 seems scary, so 190 it is!

    I'm in for August too. I'll be on vacation most of the month, so I I'm afraid I won't be posting on a regular basis, but I can definitely run/walk!

    I take it easy and set for 40 km

    Today s the first day of logging for the month of August. Good luck to everyone.

    As a reminder, please join the group page.
    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/21182-monthly-running-challange

    Some things I want to point out in the group if you haven't already checked out:

    First: Check out the Introduce Yourself Discussion Thread.
    Get to know your fellow Challengers by reading some amazing stories and leave your own.

    Second: Check out the Running related sites and references thread.
    Lots and lots of great sites and references to help you improve at your running and maybe answer most of the questions you ever had. Feel free to leave a link if you think I missed one or the group will enjoy.

    Third: The August 2014 Thread in the group. While your daily logs and goal declarations go in here, the Discussion Thread is a great way to ask questions and leave encouraging messages.

    Fourth: I always try and make sure the latest links are displayed in the group, such as in case this thread rolls over or you missed a few months and want to return back in but need to find the new month.

    As always, if you have any questions that need answering, feel free to PM me.

    Enjoy the August Running Challenge.
