Okay gang, Summer is finally nearing it's end, and I for one could not be happier. These days of 100degree + heat are enough to wear you out, so let's say goodbye to Summer and hello to Fall with a nice little challenge (outdoor preferred). For the month of September we're going to have a 100 mile club, and I'd love having you be a member of it! That's a little over 3 miles a day, and for most of us would equate to about a 350-500 calorie burn, so what do you say? I love running, but I love challenges more, so this can be the first of many. If you are a novice runner like me, and want to help motivate me (or vice versa), please feel free to add me as a friend.

SW=218
CW=189
GW=185 and ripped!

    Oh and if anyone else uses runkeeper.com, look me up. http://runkeeper.com/user/biddysaurus/profile
    I just started using runkeeper about a month ago and love that I can track running, biking, walking, skating, etc. on there and it separates it out for me so I know how much of each I did. :)

    Dude, count me in! I have been running consistently again for the last couple of months. 100 miles in September is a great challenge. My goal will be to do 5 days of running and get in the 25 miles needed each week.

    forgot to say i was in!

    have a runkeeper acct but have not been using it since i started on here. maybe i'll try to do both.
    all this logging is soooooooo time consuming.

    I think I might be crazy, but I'm IN! If anything I'll run a whole lot more than I usually do and that'd be great!

    Well since i need 116 miles before Oct 1st to make 1,000 in a 12 month period, this fits right in.

    Although I would hesitate to call a 100 mile month a "novice" level.
    Challenging oneself is good, but people need to be careful upping thier mileage too abruptly.
