I suck at running but figure I’d make a challenge to see who does it. If you have nike plus, feel free. I figured I’d make it nice and easy for the first one: First to 50 miles. Starts on September 1st and goes through the month. Lets get it on!

marathon is a tough task…if you pull it off , more power to you! I try to run ~20 miles a week or so, the computer at work doesn’t like that site for some reason so i’ll have to check it when i get home ---

> [@Locutus](#): > > i did 5 miles yesterday. today i have intervals… check out this months mens journal, there is a training program in there that works pretty well. How long did it take you to do 5 mi? Did you run the entire thing? I can’t go more than a mile without feeling like I’m going to die. I’ll pick up the Men’s Journal today :tup: Jay, you’ll crush me in the nike+ challenge :lol: ---

keep at it, when i started running over the winter i was the same way…i felt like i was really getting far when i got to 2 miles haha everyone is different, but i feel personally that once i get past that first 1.5-2 miles, you just get into a rhythm and keep going. goodluck 🙂 ---

the trick is to run when you dont want to run. not when you CANT run ie your legs are jelly, but when you dont feel like running. ---
