Subject: CASUAL run challenge--july
there's a few of us who were chatting about just a very casual run challenge thing for july. i PROBABLY should have posted this before, but i was being selfish. i HAVE decided however--to share.
anyway, here's the low down. who can run the most miles in july? loser has to donate $1 to charity.
now IF IF IF you are reading this and thinking about how fun and easy it will be to win because you run 700 miles a week, stop and think--will this REALLY be gratifying for you??
my average mileage is between 12 and 16 miles a week, i'd LOVE to be a 20 miles a week girl, so there's my goal. all who've expressed interest have had SIMILAR weekly mileage.

there's also been talk of throwing a small casual weight loss angle in there too, let me please please reinforce how CASUAL this will be. there are no spreadsheets. no check in dates. no teams. run your tukus off, and post your miles. drop the pounds, and post your progress. loser donates a buck to whatever charity they feel deserving.

so far there are maybe 3 or 4 of us. please jump in if you feel the need
i am in no way trying to compete with super cat and her TDF challenge, she's superior for SO many reasons-- but there are some who wished for some additional RUNNING motivation, alongside the TDF thing, so i'm not stepping on anyones toes either (hope hope )

I'M NOT A CHALLENGE ORGANIZER, just a chick who likes to run. so come run with me!! it's july!!



Edited by Dee (D001) to add information about the Google Spreadsheet.

To sign up for the July Casual Run Challenge:

Go to this Google spreadsheet:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pfYL7DR_dx-DijwzNQDprIA

You will need to enter the following information:
email address: [email protected]
password: challengeforum

If you can't access the spreadsheet, try this:
1) Look at the bottom right corner. If it says, "edit this page," click that link and enter the info above.

2) If you are currently logged in to your personal Google account, log out. Then log in again, using
this information:
email address: [email protected]
password: challengeforum

3) Try this link instead:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pfYL7DR_dx-DijwzNQDprIA

4) If none of the above work, you can just reply to this message and request that someone enter the information for you.

I'm in.

I want to lose 8 lbs in July and I want to average 20 miles/week running. That'll be 8.5 more than I ran in June but because I'll be at the beach for one week during July I'll be able to get in more than normal that week, Lord willing. Plus, I don't think I'm going to take my bike to the beach so I can focus more on running and swimming that week.

I think it's a good idea to update our signature lines with our progress as often as needed but at least once/week. That will keep everyone abreast of our progress and we can just use this thread for chatting....because I'm all about the chat!

Let's get started.

You could post your progress on this thread each week.

Or, you could always use a simple Google spreadsheet to track it. (If everyone wants to put their progress there.)

Well, my first challenge was in September. And it was also Beth's first challenge, and look at HER post count now....

So I think it's all Beth's fault.

Of course, if you want to REALLY help your post count, you can organize a couple of challenges.....

pssst.... you might be correct.

Simple spreadsheet: BT name, Running goal, Number of miles run, Percentage progress

Something like that, maybe?
