OK, here is the official sign-up thread for the August challenge. If you want to participate in the challenge, just sign in here so we can get an idea of how many are up for it. I figured I'd start it now so this will give everyone a month to see the thread and get signed up and ready. There will be a separate thread for our beginning pics and stats for August 4.

Rules (same rules Julie originally gave us in January)

1. You can do any plan ... does NOT have to be NROL4W ... you can change plans mid-stream ... but you have to state what your plan is ... disqualification if you are doing something stupid like Kimikins.

2. You MUST post your beginning stats and photos by EOD 8-4-08. You must also post pictures once each month. If you don't want to post your pictures, then this challenge isn't for you.

3. You are encouraged to keep a log in the training log forum. That way when you complain that you aren't making progress, we can look and see what you might/might not be doing that is contributing.

4. The challenge will run for 4 months ... you will be required to post progress photos and stats by the first Monday of each month and the final pics will be due on December 1, 2008. Winner will be decided by poll.
