Any ideas for a september challenge....my motivation is waning and a challenge always,....well..., challenges me. I've got something about running going through my head. Maybe having you're biggest running month of the year in September? ; but I'm open to anything...

What do you think....?

It's time for Team Kansas to make a comeback!

I'm going to throw out the 200+ club again for running ..... especially since there are only two of us going for it this month.

Wow...200 would be cool and a stretch for me...big time. How about each member of a team setting their running mileage goal. Then having a total for the team? Just a thought.....

I'm interested in a running challenge, but I know that 200 miles is just too much for me. I like the idea of each person setting a goal a bit better since it'll let more people do it.

I'll be down for a running challenge. There is no way I can do the 200 mile challenge, but the regular goal setting challenge would be great.

What about a bike challenge, for us midwest and northern folk, we're getting into the last good riding days.

I'd really like to see a bike challenge comeback as I had exams during the last one.

Run/bike challenge?

No way can I do 200, but the idea of having your biggest month is Sept sounds cool...

Well ...... we had the 100+ club in July, then I threw out the 200+ club in August. So this is one of those "how much of a bad azz (or just plane insane) are you" kind of challenge.

There have been a few running challenges this year that I've participated in. Same with cycling.

For someone marathon training for a Fall mary. then 200 is a little bit of a stretch but not impossible. For the average tri. training, 200 would be ridiculous.

Run/bike? I'm in.

Goals? My biggest month isn't good for me. Got an Oly on the 10th so there'll be at least one full week of decreased volume. I can commit to specfic numbers though.

If I get a chance to ride over 100 total next month I'll be amazed.

Man...you're a machine!! Sounds like everyone is focusing on a bike/run challenge. We could total our miles for each and keep track of it weekly. Something like this?........ What's everyone think? Any other ways to make it fun?!

	Run (miles)			Bike (miles)			Total (miles)
	Goal	Actual	% complete	Goal	Actual	% complete	Goal	Actual	% Complete

Daremo	200	0	0	1	0	0	201	0	0
shawn barr	80	0	0	1	0	0	81	0	0
gsgalloway	200	0	0	400	0	0	600	0	0

I could be up for a run/bike challenge. I need to see what my 1/2 Mary training plan says and look at the other training I will be doing for my late Sept Tri. But this could be a good thing.

I ignored the 100-200 mile run challenges, since my training only had under 50 miles in it. No since in risking an over use injury at this point in the process.

Here's what I have so far....

			Total
	Run	Bike	Miles
Daremo	200	?	200
shawn barr	80	100	180
gsgalloway	200	400	600

Both my goals exceed my run/bike totals for a month this year. Who else is in? The other folks who mentioned they might be are...

Daremo...do you want to put in a bike number? Anybody else have any ideas to make it fun...anyone willing to contribute toward a prize? Perhaps everyone who reaches their goal can have their name put in a hat for a drawing?

I would suggest we go from Sept 3 to 30(?) Sound o.k. I'm willing to do the work, since I need a LOT of motivation at this point.

I'll have to think about goals a little harder but is it alright if I have my goals a little more Bike focused? With XC this fall I'm not sure about the milage I'll get in / don't want running overload.

Ok I sat down last night and did some math, as well as thinking about the various races I have coming up.

Run miles - 70
Bike Miles - 200

The run miles will be the most I have done in a month in a VERY long time. June bike totals were higher, heck the 3rd week of June was higher by itself. But I have to get 200 miles to have a hope of making my 2K for this year.

I guess you can throw in 100 on the bike for me for good measure .....

And I at least will have to start with Sept. 1st. I'm scheduled for 205 running, and that includes like 25 before the 3rd.

No problem....it's whatever you need to make it work :-) I'll write you in and wait until you figure out the goals.

Sounds good Rick....I think since it's a month challenge it makes sense to begin with 9/1 for everyone. I'll make the change on my spreadsheet.

Soooooo....We'll use the whole month of Sept...
