This post will be a relative quickie because I have alot of actual work to do today….unWooT!
We are in Day 3 of the Marathon Week Challenge, and everyone is doing awesome!!! I’m starting Day 3 with 11.35 miles under my belt, and I’m hoping to have completed 15 miles by the end of today. That means it would have taken me three days to accomplish what it took a week to do in Week 6. WooT.
And my legs? They be sore, but its a good sore. It the soreness of success (or something…)
The following people are also blogging a bit about the torture challenge. You should go and cheer them on directly!
- Jessie - Who is doing MY challenge AND a 30Day Shred Challenge. She be crazy, but in a good crazy way :-P
- Ron – Who is actually venturing out into the real world (and away from the comfort of a treadmill) for his challenge. This is something I want to do too at some point.
- Karyn - Who is taking on goals like crazy thanks to Hot 100 and C25K, and SUCCEEDING! I wish I had heard about Hot 100 when I started my journey, thankfully my bubble has expanded a bit since then.
- Craig – Who was doubting himself like crazy but really is kicking ass at this. Another C25Ker as well…WooT.
- Kate – Who is in my challenge, runs like crazy and is training for a half marathon. WooT.
- John - One of my fellow Fatbloggers. Hasn’t posted any miles yet or anything about the challenge, but maybe this will give him some motivation. Best of luck, John!
I think I’ve gotten everyone who has been bloggin’ (or at least has a blog). If I missed you, let me know and I will add you ASAP. I also want to give a shout out to the other challenges who may not have a blog. EVERYONE deserves Kudos for what has been accomplished so far.
That’s all for now (so much for relative quickie though, HA!). BACK TO WORK (ugh)! If I get time later I might post again, hopefully with 15+ miles under my belt.
TGIF!
Way to go on 11.35 miles already (you’re kicking my booty!)! And thanks for checking out my blog – as well as creating the challenge!
Thanks Kate!!! Any booty kicking I’m doing is going to be short lived, I’m sure. ESPECIALLY when I’m up against one who has logged 180miles on dailymile. WooT to you!
This has been fun so far. I like being able to check how everyone is doing. I can’t believe how many miles 26.2 actually is until you actually try to reach that amount! LOL. And we are breaking up into days, not all at once. Koodos to those that can run a real marathon!
Thanks Steve–you’re doing so great!
I agree, this is fun…who knew 26.2 miles was SO FAR? I can’t imagine doing it all at once!
Have a great Friday and weekend.
Another logging question: should we go to the challenge page and use the little sidebar thingy to enter our miles? Or should we be trying to figure out how to enter our miles through our workout log page?
Hey Steve, thanks for stopping by the blog. Glad you like! The feeling is mutual. I’ll be stopping by yours more regularly now.
@Craig – you can’t imagine doing it all at once NOW. Keep walking/jogging/running and you might catch the bug too, then you’ll want to try it. That’s what happened with me.
@Karyn – I’ve been logging the miles within the challenge, and I noticed that when you do that it updates the workout log as well. I don’t know if that is the only way to do it, but it’s working for me. Hope that helps.
Oh, I’m crazy alright.
This really is such a challenge.IThe biggest part of the challenge for me is finding the time to walk. Is that an excuse? I have plans tonight right after work and that lasts until the evening, so it will be too late to hit the gym. And it’s ballz degrees outside, so I doubt I’ll be putting in any walking tonight. HOWEVER, I love this challenge. I don’t think I could have lost the 10 pounds I have without the accountability of things like this challenge and your other 15 mile challenge. And to think – I was nervous about 15 measly little miles.
Have a great weekend Steve!
