DW Runners

 Overall: not the best month. But we'll do better in February, I'm sure! 



Shoutouts to blnchflr , meri_oddities , and semielliptical  for making their distance goals, and to ridicully , temve , purplecat , semielliptical again, and thebookpile for making their activity goals. ridicully and temve in particular managed more than twice as many active hours as intended!

Good job, everyone! 

Final totals for January here, please! I'm hoping to have the results up by the 8th. Also, does anyone want to do February? If not, I'll handle it again. 

 Sorry for skipping Week 2! Vacation and colds and running my first half marathon kind of all collided badly. How are you guys doing? Put your distance and time in the comments, please. 

 How did you do for Week 1? Comment here! 

I'm going to try to run a January challenge. If you'd like to participate, please post your distance goal and/or active hours goal in the comments!

New participants are welcome! The distance goal can be in miles or kilometers, but I'll assume miles if you don't specify. Active hours can be a particular type of activity (usually biking for me), or total amount of activity (swimming, martial arts, hiking, whatever). 

Hi Runners,

After last week, I am completely off my goal of doing something every day. Unless you count angry ranting or blanket forting as activity. Or drinking. Then I'm aces!

Dear Runners,

Please check in here with something encouraging. Me, I've got nothing tonight.

Hi Runners!

I was thinking that a November Challenge is in order and I'd be happy to come out of my DW hibernation and run it this month.

There are several reasons why running would be good for us this month:

1) It's NaNo month and running boosts creativity

2) For many of us, the days are getting shorter and colder, the clocks are turning back soon or have just turned back and running can improve your mood. For all the southern hemispheric folks, running now will help get you fit for a summer of fun activities. (No, I'm not jealous. Or bitter.)

3) For all of us, the stress of the holidays is coming (and the stress of the T-word being elected next week) and running can help with anxiety and depression.

So I propose a November running challenge. Let's work together and have a great, productive, and sweaty November!

I am trying to get back into running again after a series of unfortunate events (like bad hips that lead to bad knees and moving to a new(old) continent.

My running/exercise goal this month is to do some exercise every day. Starting today. Running, I hope to get 50 miles this month. And break in the new running shoes I bought yesterday. Comment here with your goals and I will make us a spreadsheet and post our progress weekly.

Our little group completed 559 miles and 46.75 active hours in September! Each of us that participated met at least one of our goals, or came very very close. Cheers to all of us!!
