Oh, and so I can make a tee-shirt

A t-shirt?! I like that idea. No, I love it, actually. Does anyone want to chip in to the 1000 mile club t-shirt fund?! I don't want to be in charge of it, mind you... but I'd absolutely love to be able to win a t-shirt that says something along the lines of "I ran 1000 miles in 2007!" Who do I make the check out to in order to make this a possibility?

Cool Idea about the t-shirt! Oh and I'm late with this but the reason 1,000 miles for me is that's about what I'll have time to run this year. I'd LOVE to run 1500 but I don't think that my family and job would allow me the extra time. Maybe next year when all kids are in school full time!

Just to feel a sense of accomplishiment. I like the Tshirt Idea. I hope someone takes the lead and designs it. But you can't wear it till you earn it! Maybe someday we will see each other running a race wearing our 1000 mi club shirts. Nice to meet you all. Larry

If we wanted to eventually do custom shirts, this place does technical ones.

I've got three goals. One of them is 1000 miles because there is no 1,095 club (3 miles per day average). The second is to run a six minute mile. Last year I ran one in 7:15. The third is to run a 5K in 21:00. Last year I didn't come close. 1000 miles might be the only one I achieve, but it's the most important one. Oh, and I also want to lose a lot of weight. That's not one of my goals, but benchpressing my own weight is, and dropping 30 pounds seems like the most sensible approach to doing that.

Hey, come join the Jiggly Joggers group in my sig. We all have similar goals...I'd personally like to drop at least 15#s. Smile

That brings up a good (but mostly unrelated) question. How exactly does one go about getting links to the various groups in their signature? I'd like to do it with mine but I haven't been able to figure out how thus far.

Chris, do you know some basic HTML tags? I think that's the only way to do it, thus far. k

I'm doing it just to give me a goal to shoot for and keep out there pounding the pavement. I'll talk to my cousin and see if he can help me come up with some sort of design. He does graphics for web pages and web page design. Of course we will have to have some reference to this website also. Gotta give Eric some publicity.

Last year I managed 1000km with me only starting in mid Feb 2006 and having 1 month off because of injuries. So 1609km should be posible. I must admit that it is forcing me to run more than I would normally. I wonder what the bunnies toes look like because mine are leaking blood every now and then.

I would be concerned about that. Your toes shouldn't be bleeding? Maybe you need to find a different/new pair of shoes?
