What's up for August, Swim-Run challange anyone? (Page 2)

OK - this challenge is right up my alley.  Put me down for the following:

Run - 1,080 minutes (18 hours)

Swim - 540 minutes (9 hours)

Awesome idea for a challenge, thanks for coordinating.   Here's my goals:

• Swim = 18,000 yards
• Run = 85 miles

To All:

I'll make another thread for the actual challenge later today that will reiterate the following.  But to answer this question now is important. 

Everyone must post their training in their logs and make their logs Public. If your new to logging feel free to PM me with any questions you may have.  Every Monday around Noon I'll check your logs for the previous week data and add it to the Spreadsheet.  If it looks like I have all the data for everyone I'll post the spreadsheet on the thread.  If not I'll hold off to the evening time then post it. 

We have a fair number participating so I'll look into organizing some sort of randomized "Teams" so we can have some fun with the 'us against them'.  Looks like I'll have to separate the Benton's  This helps to keep things interesting, remember this is to help make training a bit more motivational and not kill ourselves! 

Injury or Illnesses; God forbid if you happen to get sick or injured please note this in your logs and use the "Injured/Sick" drop box, we'll cut you some slack! 

So please look for the new thread this evening for the Actual Challenge entitled "August Swim & Run Challenge 7/31 to 9/3" or something like that.  This will be the official thread for us to post motivation, encouragement, weekly bragging and the tracking spreadsheet.  I'll post the initial spreadsheet there with everyone's goals.

Good luck everyone, day #1 is today...

Okay, I wanna need to play....

Run:  100 miles
Swim:  18,000m

Both of these will be a stretch for me, looking at my current volume.  BUT - with my first Oly coming up, I need to refocus and get a-movin'. 

I'd like to join too. I've been slacking on my running and I would really, really like to improve. My goals for August are as follows:

run: 330 minutes

swim: 10000 yards

Maybe a challenge of this sort will also help me in the weight-loss challenge as well

ME TOO, ME TOO!

I am in for:

105 miles-to make up for last months run challenge

16,000 yds-because I suck in the pool

Please include me:

Katherine (lobstergirl)

Goals 8/1-8/31 (5 weeks)

Swim: 23,000 yards

Run: 100 miles

OK, if there is still room I'd like to join in.  Gonna be starting slow though, this is motivation/rehab for a knee injury.

Swim - 3000m

Run - 15 miles

Everyone that wanted to play on this thread here was included in the "official" thread for the Aug Swim-Run challenge (see above link), so you better be training!
