August Run/Jog/Wog/Walk TEAM Challenge!

This will be a East versus West TEAM challenge!

For this challenge, you can run, jog, wog, walk, water-jog or crawl.

To determine which team you're on, divide your city/town in half. Are you on the east or the west? That's your team.
-- If you live in the east, you're on the EAST team.
-- If you live in the west, you're on the WEST team.

At the end of the month, the winning team(s) will win the challenge.
All other (non-winning) teams will change their avatar to something run/walk related.

To participate:
Sign up on this Google spreadsheet:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0An7ZkKfHG1L1dHp...

To access the spreadsheet, you will need to enter the following information:
email address: [email protected]
password: challengeforum

If you can't access the spreadsheet:
Scroll to the bottom, and look at the bottom right corner. If it says, "edit this page," click that link and enter the info above.

(Once you have access to the spreadsheet, you can share it with your 'regular' email address by clicking the "share" button at the top right.)

The ultimate goal of this Challenge is to push yourself in an activity (or activities), to work out, to meet fellow BTers (virtually or otherwise), and to have some fun!

Hopefully, this Challenge will give you a little extra incentive and motivation to succeed at your goals – whatever they may be.

Welcome to the Challenge!

- Dee

I'm in, although I'm not sure what team to be on because my "town" is in the middle of no where and there is no real center. I'm east of the post office so I'll go with that. I'll have to figure out my goal tonight and put it in the spreadsheet.

I'm in!  I live outside of town.  I live east of the town where my mailing address is located.  I think that is good enough.  I will run 65 miles!

"East of the post office" works.

Of course, we now have 3 people on the East team, and no one on the West team yet!

I'm sure that will change in a bit though.

I am dead-center south, so I will declare it West. Hopefully I will have company. Will double check the plan, but I think it's 98 for the month.

I'm in! I actually am in the North of my town, but closer to West than east. So West it will be. I'll get my schedule and see what miles I am in for.

According to my training plan I will be running 13 hrs. So that is what I'll do. Smile

Hopefully I won't curse myself. Every time I start a challenge something or another happens. Fingers crossed this time.

I am in for the West.  As I am still recovering from IT issues I will be attaining 12 sessions.  I have just started running again after 10 weeks off to recover, so we will see what happens.


Oh and it has been several months since I have been in a challenge, this should be fun.

I am totally west-side. I'm in for 23 hours of running. Currently mid marathon training, I'm managing to get my long runs in fine, but I tend to shorten my mid-week runs. There'll be none of that this month!

Lets say 150km running.

OK, goal is set. Still recovering from "some stupid thing I did to my back" so my goal is basically just to keep from doing "another stupid thing to my back."

OK, the spreadsheet is up. It's the same link that you used to sign up (listed in the first post of the thread).

But here's the link again, just to make life easier:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0An7ZkKfHG1L1dHp...

For anyone who wants to sign up ---> It's not too late! Just read the instructions on the first post of the thread and enter your name on the spreadsheet. (If you have trouble with the spreadsheet, tell us on this thread and we'll figure it out.)

ok, I'm in.  I live in the country - but going with the "post office" as a refernce point - I'm on the East team - I put in a goal of 100 miles.  That is subject to a bump up as I am part of a Relay team this weekend for St. Jude and have a timed ultra next weekend.  Not sure how much I will get in over those two workouts - but I may up it to 120.

I signed up for the East time since I live East of the city.  I am in for 12 sessions. I am just starting back running after completing failing to run since my half marathon back in November. I am in week 4 of C25K so this works perfectly with the type of "running" I am doing now.

I am definitely WEST of town.  This will be perfect since I haven't done a challenge in months and months.  I am just getting back to jogging and I have a 10k in October.  So thank you, Dee, for setting up this challenge.

I am on the spreadsheet with 46 miles for my goal.  Boy, will I have to stay on track!  Tongue out

I'm partially responsible for this ... then again, I far exceeded all my goals, they just weren't the same goals I started the month with!

I feel responsible for aiding your redemption ... that, and I live just on the eastern side of a small isthmus leading to the South peninsula of Bali. If you count it as part of the peninsula, then I'm way on the east side.

    You're too kind oh great Melon Presser, however I slackened off personally in the last week and for that I need to seek redemption.

    Either way, we'll get the Westies this month
