So no face paint! I might take you up on this just so I can win and not get the face paint. This could be the best motivation ever!He gets to pick the design, of course![]()

Why’d you have to bring her into this!@Keels will NEVER allow this bet to happen!! Muahahahahahaha!!!!!
Nothing to see here...I wondered why I felt my ears burning.
I don't think that's how this works. You can't walk up to a face paint booth and ask for the "no face paint" face paint.So no face paint! I might take you up on this just so I can win and not get the face paint. This could be the best motivation ever!

After registering for Dopey, I envisioned a glorious first training run with the marathon becoming real. Instead, all 3 runs since have challenged me and tempted me to throw in the towel early on in two of them for pain or convenience reasons. I hope it's just good practice for the marathon when I absolutely do not want to throw in the towel. It's perhaps naive hope, but I believe that if I put in the training and avoid injury on race day, I can will myself to that finish line no matter what the race throws at me.Signs up for a marathon, loses motivation to run. Sounds about right, right?
It's an interesting idea. Accountability works wonders to keep my motivation where it should be.In light of comments from @jennamfeo and @rteetz ... what do you guys think about some sort of running competition/game? Like, you post your planned mileage for the week at the beginning of the week, and anyone who hits 90% of their mileage or more gets something? (And by something I mean a certificate or bragging rights ... or maybe a super cheap plastic medal for the people who have hit their goal the most by marathon weekend.)
Anyone interested in something like that? Would that help motivate some of the people who are struggling?

Great idea, Sometimes seeing others workouts makes you want to get out there just so you can post that you did it too! Virtual hi-fives go a long way for motivation.
We have a group set up on Strava where you can see people's workouts, enter challenges together, etc. I don't know the link off the top of my head, but I'm sure @DopeyBadger does.
I think I just searched for it in Strava when I first signed up. And then I knew I had found it because @DopeyBadger runs were showing up in the group.We have a group set up on Strava where you can see people's workouts, enter challenges together, etc. I don't know the link off the top of my head, but I'm sure @DopeyBadger does.
