Subject: August Challenge (Run,Swim,Bike, Weightloss, and/or Other) - CASUAL

After a successful July challenge (thus far), and interest shown in an August Challenge I would like to open up a casual challenge. There will be no teams or formal winner, just a bunch of people training and supporting each other obtain the goals. Anybody interested please post here with running goals for the month of Aug (either miles or hours) and desired weight loss. There will be no closing of this challenge and all are invited, so join in at any time.

Happy running, and lets all meet our goals.



Edited by Dee (D001) to add information about the Google Spreadsheet.

The challenge now includes RUNNING, SWIMMING, BIKING, WEIGHT LOSS and "OTHER" goals. You may sign up for ANY (or all) of these!

A run challenge sounds good to me.  A CASUAL run challenge?  Even better.

Give me a bit and I'll come up with some goals.

Ok, thanks to Dee's help there is now a spreadsheet.  Please enter your goals when you figure them out.  If you can not enter them post them and let me know and I will put them in the spreadsheet for you.  The challenge will start Aug 1st and end Aug 31st so there is plenty of time to figure out the goals.  Happy running and may everbody exceed there goals.

Ok now it has become interesting.  Since this is a site for triathletes, we have the option to try for one goal or up to four.  Let the exercise and excitement begin.  I have decided to try for all four.  My goals are as follows: 95 miles run, 13125 yds swim, 150 miles bike, and 2 lbls weight loss.  Now just for Aug 1st to come around and the games will begin.

YIPEE!!!!! I need that! Oh...and I've set a new weight loss goal for myself...25 lbs by Oct 18 (college homecoming...yes, it's been a few years...). And, yes, I have 25+ lbs to lose. 40 lbs would put me in "the chart!"

I want in too!

I need to review my August training sched first and will post my goals sometime this weekend.  Goals will be run and weight loss fo shur! 

No need to challenge myself on the swim and bike this time around, I'll have enough on my plate with these two for the next six weeks.

I agree Lyssa... July has been so much fun! And I don't feel stressed about *not making my workout* or having someone chew me out for it
