Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being,
while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it.
-Plato

15 miles starting Sunday and ending Saturday... Yep that easy and you know you can do it! Just log your daily miles, the total miles for the week and encourage your fellow challengers to make their goals, yep it's that easy.

"Run when you can. Walk when you must. Crawl if you have to. Just never give up." Dean Karnazes, the Ultramarathon Man

For the folks returning you know that the 15 miles is not the main goal. The main goal is just to get up and get moving, if you don't meet it that's fine and you surpass it, well that just freaking rocks.

For new comers the preferred method of posting miles would be:

Sunday-miles-what you did Monday-miles-what you did Tuesday-miles-what you did So on and so forth, posted daily or when the miles occur...

Total- Running total for the week thus far

As always this is not set in stone, if you post every other day or whatever fits into your schedule, but please try to stay close to the above format.

For those folks that don't do miles

for conversion to be made easy (Thanks Nonafit)

Now let's get moving folks :)

On your mark, get set....Go

Running is the greatest metaphor for life,
because you get out of it what you put into it.
-Oprah Winfrey

    SUN: 5.23 run - my first 5miles under 1hr... 59:49 :smile: I really haven't been giving myself enough credit. Most of my runs I have made myself stop for walk breaks. Tonight I ran as long as I could before first walk break.. didn't take one until mile 2.49. hmm..

    Tuesday: 4 miles running

    Got new shoes - more minimalist, and got my best time for 4 miles ever: 42:23. Was trying to set a really easy pace, since I had new shoes, and I have a pulled muscle in my back, but ran at least :40 per mile faster than normal. And it was effortless.... I am hoping it is the shoes (Saucony Mirage)!

    Sunday:

    Monday: Drum roll....0.31 of a mile!! Walked my Mother-in-law outside for the first time in years (she's had strokes & is recovering now from a compression fracture in her lower back). I'm not counting these walks because we walk SOOOOO SLOOOOW and not far at all. I come back and swim laps for 10 min but I have no idea how to measure that. Maybe I should measure the length of the pool and count my laps somehow...

    Tuesday: 3.74 miles in 57 min on my own without MIL.
    Wednesday:
    Thursday:
    Friday:
    Saturday:

    Total- 3.74 miles

    Nicely done.

    Did she enjoy the walk? I can imagine it maybe a little painful recovering from the fracture, hope not to much though.

    That's great! Remember...with ANY minimalist shoe, you're using muscles that aren't used to the attention. You have to really, really REALLY ease into it. Like 10% of your normal weekly mileage at a time. Your legs aren't ready for it!

    But they'll get there. It takes time.
