Hi all,
I'm going to start a walking/running challenge. It will start Monday September 26 and end January 1. That is a total of 14 weeks to complete this challenge. This challenge is for all ages, sizes, and abilities. The week will go from Monday-Sunday with the weigh in being Sunday afternoon. There are four different options to choose from.
1.) To walk/run a total of 210 miles by the end of the challenge which equals out to 15 miles a week.
2.) To walk/run a total of 280 miles by the end of the challenge which equals out to 20 miles a week.
3.) To walk/run a total of 350 miles by the end of the challenge which equals out to 25 miles a week.
4.) To walk/run a total of 420 miles by the end of the challenge which equals out to 30 miles a week.
If the total WEEKLY (15, 20, ex) mileage is not completed an extra challenge will be given as "punishment" for not completing it. This extra challenge will not be horrible but just a little bit extra to try and get you moving. Example 25 crunches, or 16 extra ounces of water to drink, or .5 mile extra added onto your next week total.
If you're interested in joining please give your name, starting weight, and which option you would like to do. There is room for 13 more people.

Hello!
I think I'd like to join this challenge. I need to get moving and I'd like to actually run a 5k by next Spring (I've walked several thus far). I'm super out of shape still so I'll be doing option #1 for sure!
