Anyone open for a "Run Five days a week for Five weeks" challenge?

The minimum time per session would be 30 minutes or 3 miles. 

We could keep track by checking in once a week on this thread and/or in our training logs.

I'm going to start official tracking for the Challenge on Sunday, Nov. 4th.

I've been fighting with some knee tendonitis for awhile now, but I'll give it a try.

You can do a 30X30 run walk for 30 minutes while you are recuperating.

I'm in the turkey challenge too.  In addition to the 5 days of running, I'm trying to put 3 days a week down for core or strength and then also get some bike miles.  This is great because it's keeping me on task for my 50k training but more importantly, I'm doing everything in my power to get to 1000 running miles this year.  So far, I'm 4 for 4 days of running this week (While my calendar is M-Sun, I'm going to use Sun-Sat for this challenge).  Tomorrow will be a rest day so I can go long on Friday.

This challenge is tough those.  Both Monday and Tues I was feeling sick but I made myself go out there for those miles.  I was slow and ez but I got them in.

I hear you Pink Socks! I too was sick. And although this week I feel much better my runs have been tough. 2-3 miles feels like 13.1!! Ok exaggerating. But hard! Keep it up. I'll be cking in on your other challenges

Ran this morning. That's the first time I've run outside before work since it started going below freezing at night... it felt great! I even over dressed. 2 down, 3 to go for the week!

I'm a Monday through Sunday person also.  Got in my 3rd run tonight on the treadmill.  Main set was  5x800's with 400's in between.  Ended up getting 5.87 with the WU/CD

Planning on run 4 tomorrow night with my daughter (will probably be a 30 minute sub 3mile run) then a 6.6 mile trail race on Saturday.
