Run, Walk or Crawl 05/27-06/02

Frustration is the first step towards improvement. I have no incentive to improve if I'm content with what I can do and if I'm completely satisfied with my pace, distance and form as a runner. It's only when I face frustration and use it to fuel my dedication that I feel myself moving forwards. -
John "Penguin" Bingham

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 :)

Think "easy, light, smooth, and fast. You start with easy, because if that’s all you get, that’s not so bad. Then work on light. Make it effortless, like you don’t give a **** how high the hill is or how far you’ve got to go. When you’ve practiced that so long that you forget you’re practicing, you work on making it smooooooth. You won’t have to worry about the last one – you get those three, and you’ll be fast. -
RIP Micah True aka Caballo Blanco

On your mark, get set....Go

    You all did so awesome today :)

    I have my 8k tomorrow, really excited about that except for stubbing two different two and two different times and one even was bleed for a while. THEN I dropped something on one foot that caused a slight bump and some pain. Tomorrow is looking slightly painful, lol...

    Sunday - 4.65 miles - walked
    Monday - 4.92 miles - walked

    Total so far this week 9.57 miles walked

    I'm glad for this group :flowerforyou: as you each motivate me to move "on purpose" no matter whether on vacation or not; just so I can come here and log the miles my trusty body media keeps track of. Last week I got in more than 25 miles while on leave from work, where I do most of my walking.
