In case you dont know what i'm talking about: www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-238-267-269-14350-0,00.html

anyone else going to do it?

Im totally doing it again - i did the thanksgiving to new years one and i really enjoyed it. on my off days, id just run 1-2 miles, and take it really easy, so i plan to do the same thing. the difference this time is that technically this is my first week of marathon training, but my longest run between now and 7/4 is 12 miles, so im not so concerned with no actual off days.

im insane for thinking this is super fun, right? ;D

Hmmm.... I like the idea, but I am going to Europe in June and I find it hard to run after an overnight flight.

I plan to participate. I'm hoping it will keep me motivated until I start really training for fall races.

I'm doing it and I'm super excited about it.

This is the first time I'm really considering it. Usually I'm really against running daily, but this might help me get up early and get it done before the summer heat, and also give me something to work toward without registering for/running yet another race. I did run yesterday and today, and I'm meeting friends for a run tomorrow...

I don't think I'd be able to do the whole Summer, so I'm going to try and do it for June. I want to prove to myself that I can still fit in runs with 3 kids home with me all month. I think I'll have to be a bit creative, b/c I'm finding it more and more difficult to find the time.

I'm already amazed that you fit in what you do!!!

I think having the kids home will somehow make it easier for me...preschool is 2.5 hours and it falls at nap time for the baby so b/w that and BFing , my mornings are shot. At least when school is out and I wean the baby I will have my mornings back!!! These 3pm runs are killing me now that it is getting warmer!

I was going to...then instead of running when I got home last night, I started eating (this is what happens when J has to work) and did not run. So I'm probably still going to try it, with the disclaimer that I missed one day at the beginning

I run everyday for the most part. Its only 2-3 miles a day but since I can't really get longer than that, I figure if I do it every day, it will help me build a great base for when I decide to run.
