I CHALLENGE you to.....
80 Miles in August
Walk, jog, run... just get moving!!!
***For our Canadian and Foreign friends... 80 miles= 128.74 KM
Lets do the Math....
- 80 miles/ 4 weeks= 20 miles per week
- 20 miles a week/ 7 days a week= 2.85 miles per day
And since I was late posting this CHALLENGE you get until September 2nd to complete the challenge. So 80 miles/ 31 days= 2.5 miles!!
Speaking of 2.5 miles, yesterday I ran 2.5 miles with Muscle Man in the morning and walked 2.5 miles in the evening with Tall Sister. Both were at an easy pace and the miles count the same. This is not for speed or time, this CHALLENGE is to cover the distance.
- WHO IS IN???
Leave a comment. At the end of the Challenge you will all be asked to email your miles to tallmomontherun (@) hotmail if you would like to be listed the week of September 2nd. (Special thanks to Ellen S. for this idea)
Now get movin!!!

Thanks for the inspiration.

so in. like I'd ever shy away from a challenge ... totally going to crush 80, by the way.
Raising hand wildly!!!! I'm so new to running (only since May of this year) but I love it! I'm really looking forward to this...I needed a good challenge! Thanks!
I'll be walking, but I'm in! I actually need closer to 100 to stay on track.
I'm in! I've been slacking on getting the miles in so this is a good way to do it! :)
I'm in!! I'll do it!!
OK, I'm in. My training plan calls for about 72 miles this month anyway, and I've been trying to run a few extras anyway. With the walking, I know I can do it. Great idea!
I"m in.
This is my first time joining a challenge....I'm in!
I'm in! (do we get to count August 1?)
Great idea!
Count me in for sure :)
doing it!! I have been so unmotivated! I need a good challenge!
Count me in. I need to run over 100 miles per month to hit the challenge before year end.
Thanks for the motivation!
I'm definitely in. Extra motivation is always a good thing:) Thanks!
I'm SO in!
Count me in, too! My training plan has me running just 71 for the rest of the month but I'll toss in some extra miles and bike some too.
Great challenge! Thanks!
I'm totally in. I need to up my running mileage if I'm going to be half iron ready for september. 80 sounds perfect!
I am ON BOARD! I am also sleepin' on the idea of signing up for my first 1/2 marathon - I have the exact amount of time to do the training. Just to complete in the 3 hours 30 minutes...am I crazy??I think I can totally do it using Galloway's program...gonna do a lot of reading tonight....YOU EVIL, EVIL ENABLERS YOU!! ;)
I'm in!!! I can do it!
Count me in! Thanks for the challenge!
Hey Mel - Can you email her for me?
Hey Denita - I am a relatively new runner too - I went to go check out your blog, but it wouldn't let me - email me your blog so I can follow you!
Count me in. I had a "lower" mileage July so this will help get me back on track.
I'm in granted my calf starts acting right!
definitely in. i am signed up to run 90 this month on daily mile so this will be fun!
Oooh I want in on this one!! I think I can, I think I can!! :)
I'm in!
I'm in!
I'm totally in!
I'm in! Did 6 miles today, so only 74 to go!
I'm in; what a great way to keep motivated and running!
I missed out on signing up for your 1,000 miles challenge, so I'm definitely in for this one!
Mel, I am SO IN! Great idea. Thanks for the motivation.
Track coach is in for the 80 miles. I don't do nearly that much yet with just running, but I wondered if my new bike training for the triathlon could count? If so I am totally in!
I'm in!!!!
Count me in.
Count me in!!!
Great challenge! Since I'm recovering from knee surgery I'll shoot for 25% of the miles to be running....
I'm planning more than 80 this month but I'm certainly in too!
I'm so in! Thanks for the motivation to ignore the heat and get outside and move!
Hi Mel.
I absolutely CANNOT turn down a challenge!! Hoping for a little over 100...we'll see.
I'm in!
I am in! Sounds like a great idea!
Count me in. If I don't run 80 this month, I am trouble with my plan, so extra motivation can't hurt.
Great idea. I'm totally in.
I would like to join!
Sounds fun! Count me in.
And THANKS for the conversion. :)
I'm in!
I'm in! Good motivation!
I'm in! Love the challenge! Got a marathon and a relay this month - gonna totally get over 80 in! Whew hew!
I'm in! Thanks so much for the extra motivation!
Raises hand!!
I'll be able to hit this no prob! I'm in!!!
I agree to accept this challenge. It will hopefully help me keep the extra weight from this pregnancy from showing up in my face. :)
And yes, I will be WALKING it all! That's what happens when you're 6 months pregnant and it's hotter than Hades here.
Totally in -- thanks for motivating everyone through a hot summer!!
I'm not in the Tall Mom 1000++++ Club, but I'll sure shoot for 80 miles in August. Count me in!
I'm in!!! thanks for the motivation!
I'm in! As I'm currently training for a marathon in October I should have more than enough.
Thanks for the km conversion!
I need a kick in the butt so I'm in too.
This is just what I need! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I'm going to go for 100, but now I'm accountable for it!
I'm in! I really need to get moving!
oooo!!! I'm in for sure!! :D This will be fun, this is my only full month of training for a half marathon (my first) :D
I'm in! Come on over and run my virtual race too!
Gotta get back on track sometime. Count me in.
I'm in, too! My kids head back to school tomorrow and it's time to kick up my training! Thanks for the motivation!
Winks & Smiles,

I'm in....it would be the most miles ever in a month for me...
Sign me up, too!
I'm in!
I am in! I'm already at 21 miles for August. I love challenges! It keeps me going!
I'm in, need to get my butt in gear for a half in Sept. I am a tall mom too! 6 ft 1 and a former college basketball player :)
I'm in, already in the 1,000 mile club but what the heck, this will keep me motivated after my half-marathon next weekend (my first!!).
Cheers and keep up the good blogging.
Cinthia
