Nike+ Post (7/9/07)

Hey everybody! Thanks for signing up for the challenge! Thanks Cyberswami, for your post.

Let me clear up some of the confusion... Once I have at least 2 people signed up for each team, I will send out the invites. But keep in mind, the challenge doesn't start until the regular football season starts. So the Week 1 challenge will run from September 3 to September 8.

If 20 people sign up for each team, that will be a total of 640 runners. I will be creating a separate challenge for each of the NFL Divisions (I will post a list of those divisions below).

If you have requested to join, don't worry I have put your name into a spreadsheet and that is where I will keep track of team rosters, mileage, standings, etc.

Some of you have asked why I'm not counting Sundays. A couple of concerns were people having marathons or long runs on those days and them not being counted. I think it will help to level the playing field for those with less running experience and besides, you should all be at home watching football on Sundays

Also, it will give me a chance on Sundays (after the last televised NFL game is over, of course) to calculate totals and send out the next weeks invites which, with 640 runners, is sure to be a challenge in itself.

And last, to you presumptuous Football fans, I'm not a guy!!!.....Keep the sign-ups coming!!!................and HaPPY RuNNiNG!!!
