Runners/weight loss people- who wants in on a challenge?

[meganew]

Apparently its never getting warm here, which is usually my motivation to get back to running, and even having a half at the end of March isn't doing it. I haven't run in 2 weeks and I need some help!

Who wants to start a March running challenge with me? You could set a certain number of miles as a goal or we could see who can get the most miles in all? Weekly check ins? Eh?

This idea brought to you by how awesome fuckyourcouch is and my amazement at her running commitment!

You know I'm in!

[venice2007]

I'm in for running

[AHappierHour]

I'm in!

I'm definitely in! I run a half marathon the end of March, so I actually need to run outside instead of just on the treadmill.

I think you can create challenge groups on daily mile if someone wants to do it that way.

I would love to! I don't usually run much, but I am looking to lose weight. Competitions are great motivation for me

[captainobvious]

I'll do it - I need motivation (though mine might be more of a run/walk)

Are you doing the love run??

[mccallister84]

I would be in. Not for a daily challenge (i.e. run at least a mile every day) because I know my body needs rest days but a mileage for the month challenge would be great. I have a half May 3 and have been hating the treadmill so could definitely use the extra motivation.

[iamgrace]

I will run, like ...days run? Or something. I'm not up for clocking miles. The more miles I do, the more obsessive I become. Ahhh, lol. I don't know what i'm trying to say here.

[McGavin]

I'm in but my goal would only be a piddly little 10km a week at the most.

It's supposed to start warming up here this weekend!

No I'm actually doing a race in nyc. I thought about doing that, but since I've done the Philly half and Philly full marathon, plus run that route for free on the regular, decided to look for races outside the city. 

It seriously needs to start warming up! I trained for my first full marathon during this time a few years back as the marathon was in March, but I swear it wasn't this cold in Jan and Feb, grr. 

[shell24]

I'm in. I've got about 150 miles on the calendar for March. We are supposed to get another snowstorm on Sunday, so I will need something to hold me accountable for these miles!

[sherbanator]

I'm in!

[bostogriff]

I'm in.  I'm doing absolutely nothing right now and need some motivation.

[kaybee85]

I'm in! I just got the ok to start running again!

[itsme]

I'm in.

[meggers5]

Oh I'm in. My half isn't until the end of May, but I need to get my ass moving.

[daisybuchannan]

Um, I haven't ran more than a mile in like 9 months and am registered for broad st...

[buddysmom]

I'd love this!

[jreeds]

Count me in!

[winelady]

I'm in.

[wanderlustmom]

I'm in too, half marathon in early May

Me too!! We should make up a super secret signal in case we think we see each other.

[deanlicker78]

I would do this!

I'm doing a 15k in two weeks and a half on the 28th. I need to keep consistent, which I struggle with.

[meganew]

And yay about everyone interested!! I'll make a post on Sunday so everyone can set their own goals, then post on Sundays and tag people so they can log in their miles.

I'll keep tally of the miles if you like so we can have a little awards ceremony at the end of March. Categories to be included are: most miles, most time spent running/walking, most improved mileage, most pees in the woods, etc.
