I’ve been kind of blown away by all of the action going on with Awesome By August!
If you want to join in…it’s not too late!
Go to http://www.facebook.com/awesomebyaugust, LIKE the page, and post your weight under the weigh in status update. You have until 10PM EST tonight to do it!
WooT! 
And we’re off!
Marathon Week officially kicks off today! WooT! Some of you may have started yesterday, which is totally cool too. 
For those of you just tuning in, the premise is simple. Run/Walk/Bike/Swim/Elliptical/Rickshaw/Whatever 26.2 miles over the course of 7 days. You can split it up however you’d like, and do it however you like, just get out there and get moving!
For me, I’ve started the week off with a 3.6 mile walk around my neighborhood.
If I have time later today I will be trying to knock out a few miles, but today is my Aunt’s funeral, so the vast majority of the day will be spent with my family. I have my eye on the prize though, and I am really excited about this challenge, especially because SO MANY OF YOU are joining in.
So let me know how you are doing!!!
You can…
Basically, you can do whatever, and update us as often as you’d like. I like to ask for a final tally of who participated and how many miles they did when the challenge is over, but I’ll give more information on that later.
In the meantime, let’s get running (or walking/elipicalling/whatever!), ya’ll!
Have a great week!
First off, Holy shit!
I needed help, and I wanted a challenge, and everyone was more than happy to oblige!
As of 5PM EST, there were 304 comments on the Awesome Workout Challenge post, which means the Awesome Workout Challenge time is:

Whoa!
That’s beyond awesome, and maybe a little bit intimidating. But I think I got this, and would love for you all to join in!
There are already a number of you pledging to match the time, which is great!
If you don’t think you can match it, that’s no biggie. Just do what you can! If you want to match the time but can’t do it all in one night (because you might actually have a life), that’s no biggie either, feel free to split it up as need be! There aren’t really any set rules here, I’m just hoping this challenge will help you get an extra workout in, help get you out of a funk, whatever! If you are one the few crazies awesome people who are willing to go all the way, then WooT! Just be safe, obviously, and know your limits!
Triple Header!
I’ll be doing my time this evening, and I’m pretty sure I’ll be doing it on the ARC Trainer. The both of us haven’t had a really good workout in a while, so I think we are overdo.
But….thanks to another set of challenges thrown out there by this guy…I will be repeating the workout (timewise anyway, maybe another actual workout) next week, AND, the week after.
I say bring it on! I’ll take whatever I can get!
So who’s in?! Are you going to do take the challenge (in same way, shape or form)? Are you going to go for the Triple Header?!
Let’s do this!
