| 1000 Mile Club, anyone? (Read 1195 times) |

I've seen some running clubs do this - members sign up with the intention of running 1000 miles within the next calendar year. Weekly and/or monthly milage totals are tracked and a running total is kept. You'd have to average a little over 19.2 miles/wk for the whole year in order to reach 1000 miles in a year.
What do y'all think? Anybody interested? |

Ooh, count me in! I think I could do that...though at my current rate I'd have a tough time. Can I have a "do over" on Nov.? I'd really like to write this month off.

| Can a lurker be included? I could use the motivation. After having mileage close to 2,000 miles in 2003 and 2004 I dropped to 880 last year and I think half way through my run tomorrow I will hit 1,000 for this year. |

Definitely...I didn't even start running until late March of this year, so I wouldn't be anywhere near that goal for '06, anyhow--even if this month had been stellar.

COUNT ME IN!!
Had to go check my running log from the past year and a half. Ok now I'm totally psyched. I started running on a treadmill in the fall of 2004. I didn't start running outside until spring of 2005 and started logging my miles 7-22-2005. As of 7-22-2006 I had 1,066.5 miles. OMG!! I know alot of people run alot more than that but for me that's HUGE!!
Believe me if I can do it YOU CAN TOO!!! |

Great idea! Any source of motivation would be welcome.
Should we start a group? |

Sounds like there's enough interest to start a group. I'm going to do a little research to see if there's an easy way to do this. Does anyone else want to take over coordinating it? I'm not trying to hog administrative jobs!  |
