Again, I can't believe I haven't done any runs. Been major busy and then went to Italy for a few weeks.
Bought one of the new Nike wristbands, so will try to get a few runs in before the end of the month.

Good question......
I was thinking in having the next challenge right when the next Nike+ Human Race happens. This to push ourselves harder... to train, and maybe have some extra motivation.
For those who don't know what the NIKE+ Human Race is...... it is a 10k marathon that takes place all around the world at the same time... "almost". About 15 cities around the globe (New York, Tokyo, London, Mexico City, Vancouver,...) will have a special event... like an actual marathon with music and stuff. Of course one doesn't have to actually attend this marathon... one can run for competition on a treadmill at home or by yourself around the block or in any other city that doesn't have the event. Only thing is that it needs to be done on the same day of the marathon. You time gets registared when you upload your 10km run and hundreds of thousands around the globe log in their runs... and so it's a world wide race ;o) You wouldn't be only competing against Dancer or Meeklo... but people from japan, somalia, denver, milan, etc...
Here's a quick vid on the Human Race from last year in Mexico City:
The new edition of the NIKE+ Human Race takes place October 24th.
Our next challenge will also happen as it usually does... 30 days Qbn'ers vs Qbn'ers... but for one day (Oct 24) your run (has to be 10k) will count towards the Human Race.
The thing right now is that dates don't quite match... coz if we do our 30 days... the Human Race will take place in between C11 and C12.
So perhaps this time we can do a 45-60 day Challenge to ensure the Human Race happens in the last few days of our challenge and everybody can have the motivation to train and push themselves harder for the Human Race.Thoughts?

Maybe we could to a 45-day challenge Starting around the 10-15 of September, ending right on the date of the Nike+ Human Race... the final day.

So I fell behind this past month, but I've gotta say, maybe because of trying at all, I've added 10 minutes and about 1 3/4 miles on my runs in the past two weeks!
Previously I would only run a maximum of 30 minutes. Door to door that was about 3 1/4 miles; with better pace I was getting around 3.5 miles. Hit 3.6 as a record.
Now, last week i went running with coworkers after work. Beautiful route along the downtown chicago lakefront, around the aquarium, through Grant Park. We did 37 minutes and got in 4.25 miles. I was super excited!
Then this past Monday, on my own I did 40 minutes / 4.7 miles. More excitement!
This Wednesday we ran again after work and did 43 minutes, 5.25 miles with a pace around 8.30.
I'm ecstatic to have added this time and distance! Definitely keeping up with running every other day and going to the gym ever other day.
