Well, we made it through our first year - it has been interesting - we had a lot of people participate, and 10 of those reached the 1200 mile mark! Congratulation to all who participated. I hope you found the challenge rewarding to you.

We are going to do it again in 2013. Starting on January 1st and ending on December 31 - the challenge is to complete 1200 miles running, jogging, and/or walking. Because I have been a little slow on getting started this year - I may actually go from Chinese New year to Chinese New Year - if you would like. If you have been keeping track of your miles in January and February - submit them - you are all the closer to reaching the 1200 mile goal!

This can be done in the snow, rain, sun, wind, or on the treadmill, eliptical, or if you are really lucky maybe you will get some miles in on a beach somewhere!?

To complete the challenge, you would need to log 3.86 miles per day x 6 days a week. You can do it!

If you complete the challenge, there will be a SUPER COOL shirt that you can purchase, designed by our very own Cardston Kids Marathon Designer - - - OHHH and bragging rights too!

To sign up, send me a note on the facebook page, leave a comment here on this blog, or just enter your miles in the log at the bottom of the blog.

At the end of each month, you will need to send me your completed miles and I will post them here on this blog. (Tip: you should be at 100 miles every month!) Let's get at it!! This is going to be FUN!

5 Weeks Till . . .

January 1, 2012.

I wonder where I'll be?? . . . . Where will you be on January 1?

Lucky me, I do know it'll be somewhere warm and sunny in Arizona.

I wonder how running in the desert will feel, compared to running in the snow and wind and COLD!

I wonder if I'll ever want to come home?

I wonder how many miles I will run in the warm sunny desert?  I think my mom might make me run more than 10 kilometers (I mean 6 MILES) at one time.  I've never run that far at once before. . . . . I wonder if I will feel sore . . . or feel GREAT?

I wonder if I will feel the heat on my feet through my Vibrams?  I know I won't be wearing my new earmuff headphones that I bought especially for the chilly weather here in Cardston.

What do you wonder?


I know (not wonder) that we can do 1200 of these in the year 2012!
