Subject: Alright runners ...... let's step it up!! 200 club???
We had great success with the 100+ club this month and saw some impressive numbers. How about we up the ante and see what we can REALLY do and separate the men/women from the boys/girls.

(This is really more for the marathon focused people and certainly not for the sprint tri people).

Let's put up a REAL challenge similar to the 700 club and see if anyone is up for it. When we first did that, only 6 or 7 people were able to hit it. Something that really pushes the limits of sane run training.

So I'm proposing ........ 200 miles for August.

I just looked at my training schedule for the month and I'm listed for 208, so that will even be pushing it for me (adding in fudge factor/tiredness/life unexpecteds).

How about it?? Anyone crazy enough to give it a shot????

Newb question...are you having this contest next month, too? I'm recovering from a calf strain and won't hit that kind of mileage for August, but probably will for Sept.

I'm scheduled to run over 200 for the next three months (August, September, October), so I might try and do it again. We'll see how this month goes .....
