Anyone down for a challenge? Thinking something on the lines of a 10k (walk or run) on a weekend sometime. I can finish a 4k in 40 minutes with walk & jog. I am thinking of something big for a bi-weekly event? So that our daily/weekly routines can have a bit more purpose... Maybe a competition for whoever can burn off the most calories, or maybe something fun like sharing pictures of who looks the most tired!

What do you think?

    I'm up for the challenge. I may do the run/walk outdoors if the weather permits. That's okay, right? I'll soon be exclusively on the treadmill.
    As an aside, I ran 10K yesterday! Not all in one go; I ran 5K+3K+2K with 4 minute walking intervals in between. It took me awhile and the last 2K were super slow going but I did it. :smile:

    Great idea! I'm in for a 10K walk. Can do it on the weekend.

    Paytra great job with the 10k. My goal for the end of the winter is to be able to run all of a 10k. I need to get back to being able to run an entire 5k first though. I will run/walk a 10k this weekend.

    Thanks, addiec1! I'm trying to run a 10K this winter, too (without the walking breaks).
    You'll be running 5K and then 10K by spring. Hang in there!

    Great response! Unfortunately I had a lot going on recently, I started a new job on Tuesday and have to attend my sisters wedding this weekend. Let's schedule something for the end of November. I will put an event down for November the 29th (Saturday). However Sunday is fine to post results too.
