Lazyman Marathon - August Challenge
 

A Lazyman Marathon is a full marathon (26.2 miles/42.2 km) but instead of taking a few hours you have a whole month to complete it. You can walk, run, skip, or jump the distance but you must use you feet. Biking doesn't count however. You may break up the total distance anyway you want: walk a mile every day for 26 of the days, run a couple miles every few days, cram the last week, however you want to do it. And feel free to go over if you find this to be easier than expected.

The challenge will run from August 1 through August 31. If you're interested post on here and I will add your name to the list. Each time you log a distance I will try to update your total.

When you reach 25% (~6.5mi) of your goal I will highlight you in Red
When you reach 50% (~13mi) of your goal I will highlight you in Orange
When you reach 75% (~19.6) of your goal I will highlight you in Yellow
When you reach complete your goal I will highlight you in Green
With how quickly some of you are stacking on miles I will highlight you in Blue for everything over a marathon.

Awesome!!

Great idea!

Welcome, I'm glad you joined!

I'm in. I like this idea.

Count me in!

I'm in! Where will we be logging our distance?

I am lazy enough too!

Great idea!
 

I'm in! This is a really clever idea, Lovely Leah!

Day 1!! Everybody ready?

You can post your distance on here and I will update you accumulative distance next to your name on the list. I will try to stay on top of doing that at least every couple of days but I plan to do it every day.

8/1: 2.61 mile walk to work

8/1: 1.2mi on treadmill at gym for warmup before strength training

I'd like to join though I don't know how to count my walking as I don't know how many miles 30 minutes to an hour walk would be.

I'd like to join, as well! I already have some running goals, so I'm going to stick to just logging miles I've walked for this challenge.

8/1 - 2 miles

Only Believe, maybe you'd like to try out http://www.mapmyrun.com/. I use it to track my running, walking and all other workouts. You can pre-set your routes from any given point and it will pretty accurately track your distance. I have a heart rate monitor but it only tracks calories burned, duration of activity, and heart rate. Others have a GPS built in.

I'm in! But I can't do it till my mom get's home she wants to do it with me :) so it will be kinda late lol but hey better than not at all right? :)

Map My Run, as mentioned by a previous poster is pretty good. There is also http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/, which I've found I prefer.

If you walk outside, like around your neighborhood, there are apps (like mapmyrun) or websites (WalkJogRun) that you can use to calculate your distance.

I would like to join in this fun challenge!

3,1 miles today.

Me and my mom are aiming for a mile daily. But we overestimated our distance today. Well now that we know we can fix that lol. Eventually (Though not this month) I will go farther. :)

I don't walk outside.. it's too hot so I walk inside. If I can do the 20 min equals one mile then I got in 2.5 miles yesterday Aug 1st.

You could pick up a cheap pedometer and have it count your walking steps :)

0.875 miles by today (I hurt my knee a couple days ago and I didn't realize how much it would effect me). I've sorted out a good walking route though and look forward to keeping you updated!

11mi in the past two days. Checked out two groups from campus, and walked down to the mall. I got sunburned though :(

1.11 miles today. Makes up for yesterdays not total mile. :) 2 miles total so far.

Wow, great start!!! You're almost halfway done. :D

2 miles for August 2nd.
