Busy busy week. Sorry if you notice the below is a repeat from a few months ago lol. But the spirit remains the same!
You ready for some fun...
On your mark, get set....GO!!!
Or whatever it takes!!! It's a mini challenge
15 miles starting tomorrow and ending next 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

Now let's get moving folks

Hello.
I'm a new member and my name is Zara. Today I jogged my first 5k :-) I try to walk 35 miles per week. I have a fitbit and aim for 70,000 steps + per week. (Approx 35 miles) I work, so I have to get up at 5am to get steps in as my job is very sedentary. I walk, jog, do zumba etc anything to get steps in. I'm joining the gym this week too. Very exciting. Liking this group and what it aims to support each other with. Let's having a rocking week!

Hello everyone! Sorry I am SO bad at checking in! Seems like I came back from vacation and I lost all my 'checking in' habits while I was gone!! Also, we have my granddaughter full time now, so it's a little harder to get out for 'me' time!
I will try to do better this week. I am signed up for a 10k in September...but I haven't ever even run a whole 5k yet!! Yikes!! My goal for this week is to get in 10 miles of run/walking for training, and hopefully a few more on the treadmill.
Welcome Zara!0 -

Sunday - 2 miles at a nice, slow pace
Tuesday - 2 miles run mostly
Thursday - 2.5 miles run mostly
Saturday - 3 miles run
I will try to get some walking in on the other days.
I am 'trying' to train for a 10k - so please feel free to 'encourage' me if you see me slacking!!
Have a great week!0 -
