    The 100 mile challenge seemed daunting, but, with twenty of us, it's five miles each. I can commit to an extra five miles next week. I'll just plan my route so my run ends a mile further from home.

    Anyone else?

    My normal jog is a 3 mile loop. At least two days next week I'll do two laps unstead of one. So put me down for six extra miles.

    Put me down for 6 extra miles. If we do more, it still counts, right? Or only what we volunteer for?

    Next week is going to be brutal. My legs are killing me this week. Put me down for 5 miles but hopefully I can do more. Also, I'm not sure what to do about the recipe. I live at home with my parents since i go to a local college and don't cook at all...so no recipes. Should I just search for a food I like and post it?

    Yes you can do that, or just ask your parents for the recipe to your favorite dish that they've cooked for you before... I'm guessing it has to be a healthy dish....

    Next weeks challenges look just that - challenging! With regards to the 100 miles, I know most of you work and might have difficulty fitting it in. I'm happy to walk more next week and maybe fit in an extra walk. I will do 15 miles.

    Did my stuff for the week I know tomorrow I will run ten miles so we can add that into our 100 miles.. I will try to run at least 5 miles a day plus what we have to do this week look hard but team we can do this. Just remember you don't have to do it all at one time just break everything up besides we have 24 hours each day and that is more then enough time to do it....LETS GET IT IN!!!!

    I think 25 each leg, but on the video I watched he did a side step one too. So do we do 25 front AND 25 side for each leg?
