 Seattle |  Subject: September Running Challenge!I know, we still have a week of August left but hey, I am an overachiever (no, no I'm not) So, here is the deal: Run every day (that you can) in September. But for every run, come into it with a purpose. The purpose can be as straightforward and simple like recovery, or you can focus on breathing or speed or whatever floats your boat. Shoot, sometimes I do a run where I simply want to listen to an album I haven't heard. So yeah, it's just a music run. |

Extreme Veteran 1222 Tallahassee, Florida | Subject: RE: September Running Challenge! I want to play too. For the last year because of sickness and injury, combined with races that I didn't want to miss, well I've been going easy most of the time. Today I had an epiphany that running easy doesn't mean sitting back on my heels and expending more energy. I'll be concentrating on the lean on almost every run but I'll definitely be working on some other things too. |

Although I do hope "to just keep my streak alive" will be allowed as a valid purpose once or twice. Sure. I am not a believer in running for the sake of keeping a streak alive, so I will forgive you if you need a day off.
Then again, I am a BIG believer in recovery runs, so you can chalk it up as that. |

| Seattle | Subject: RE: September Running Challenge! Today I'm doing a double. Run 1: 5.63 miles Purpose: General Aerobic, focusing on low arms on the downhills and not over striding. Strides at the end Run 2: 6 miles hills Purpose: Strength |

Run 1: 5.63 miles Purpose: General Aerobic, focusing on low arms on the downhills and not over striding. Strides at the end Run 2: 6 miles hills Purpose: Strength These are great examples of things to think about or consider on our running purposes going into September. Thanks for paving the way for us. I think my challenge is going to be to run five days a week and 120 miles for the month. I'm averaging a little over a 100 per month this year so pretty doable. Along with a stated purpose or focus for each run I'm going to shoot for running drills once a week. Wow, running drills and core. What's next, stretching?? Healthy food?? {shudder, shudder} |

That depends on whether or not you define beer, cereal and ice cream as healthy.
About 99.9 percent of the time I am joking, in one way or another. Steve, you don't need to shut your mouth, if you don't want to. |

Regular 5477 LHOTP | Subject: RE: September Running Challenge! 5.8 today--hills (speed? strength?) ummmm. Salty? What was my purpose? I'm kinda joking here, but not really. I know the idea is to have a purpose outlined going into the run, so I kinda biffed on this one. Couple slow miles, couple at tempo, cool down, but the whole thing was on hills in some serious H&H, so I'm gonna guess this was some good tempo/LT work? I'm gonna read JD, I swear. Gonna order it tonight. Begging forgiveness... |

Extreme Veteran 2263 Ridgeland, Mississippi | Subject: RE: September Running Challenge! I'm in the middle of a recovery week between my last tri and marathon training. Today there's a pub run, however, so I'm going to run it at an easy pace. Distance: 4 miles Goal: Never once say or think "man this is tough" |
