Welcome to the Malvern 200 Mile Club blog. The response to the 200 mile club idea has been overwhelming! Thus far, 32 faculty members have expressed interest in trying this challenge! I thought going into this that about 10 would try and 5 would complete it. The bar has been raised ... my new goal for you is to get 20 finishers!
I'm impressed that you folks have taken it on because it takes guts to commit to this. Jim Mack and I tell our cross country runners that the toughest step to being on the team is signing up for the team. Once you're part of a team then the motivation needs to come from within as well as from your peers. Therefore, I hope to use this blog as a means to keep everyone updated on each other's progress and perhaps you'll be inspired by the Malvern community.
I am new to blogging so go easy on me. Nah, actually you can be tough on me because I'm going to be tough on you.
So now that you've committed yourself to this and to a healthy lifestyle this summer, let the updates roll in! Remember, you can check your course mileage on www.mapmyrun.com. You have until Labor Day (9/7/09) to get there. Now gogogogogogo!!!
