I appreciate this isn't strictly speaking on topic, but surely one of
the goals of LRUG is to promote a healthy ruby community, right?

James Adam, Jon Lim and myself all jog with Nike+ kits to try and keep
fit.  To try and motivate ourselves to keep going, we're setting up a
(pretty easy) challenge: run 100 miles in 10 months, starting on the
1st March and ending the 31st December.

If you'd like to join our challenge, to help motivate us all to keep
fit, let me know your nike+ username and I'll invite anyone that asks.

The main challenge isn't a race, just a long term distance target,
though I'm also creating challenges for longest distance and fastest
mile each month just to keep things interesting.  So don't be put off
by the speed you run or the distance you go.  We're crap too.

P.S. Last year we did the same challenge: only Jon actually managed it.
