I'll be attempting this in December & I'm looking for fellow warriors to take up the baton for the forum & do it with me.

A responsibility I am proud to carry

I'll be doing the runs both morning & evening depending on whether I'm hitting the weights that day or not.So if its a weights day I'll run after work.

I had been thinking of having some sort of "board memento" made up for those that complete the challenge.

After running my first full 5k training session since I started at the Physio I think something about this race needs pointing out:

This all started in 2009, when Marco challenged himself to run every day in November. I decided to follow suit and run every day in December. I posted the challenge – and dubbed it the Marcothon - on my blog and before I knew it there was a group of runners equally eager to embrace the winter conditions of December 2009.

Last year, the group was added to Facebook and attracted over 500 runners from across the globe.

The rules are simply, you must run every day in DECEMBER (any other month doesn't count). Minimum of three miles or 25 minutes – which ever comes first. The challenge starts on December 1 and finishes on December 31. And yes, that includes Christmas Day.

It's not a competition. Just a personal challenge or an incentive to burn off a few mince pies. So, who’s up for it the Marcothon 2011?

The bit above highlighted is the main goal. 5k OR 25 minutes, whichever comes first. So don't feel that every single run has to be 5k, mine won't be, just go by how you feel on each day.
