OK, here is the official sign-up thread for the 2009 September-January 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 due September 8th, which I will start September 1st.


Rules (basically, the same rules Julie originally gave us in January 2008!)

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 .

2. You MUST post your beginning stats and photos by midnight EST September 8th. You must also post pictures once each month. If you don't want to post your pictures, then this challenge isn't for you. Everyone who posts their photos on time each month move on in the challenge. If you miss an update, you won't be in the challenge.

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 four 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 January 4th, 2010. I encourage you to mark the first Monday of every month on your calendar so you will have a reminder. Winner will be decided by poll.
