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!

3 weeks till. . .




I tried to find a video of 2 crazy runners "enjoying the weather" Canadian style. . . but no one has been able to make one of those yet. . . . I think it might look a little more like my experience at 'run like a mother' yesterday morning.

Although my run was not so vindictive, as I ran like a mother, it was beautiful with the lunar eclipse and the sunrise.  As I began losing layers, starting with the gloves, then bank robber touque, followed quickly by the windbreaker, and finally my fleece jacket came off too.  I was running in long john top and a t-shirt - in December!  Pretty nice!

Just one more week of this. . . . . and then Emma and I will be running "Arizona style."

We'll post a picture for you!  

The one thing I learned on my run is that we really can "enjoy the weather" even here in Canada's winter...layer by layer....

We are getting really excited about the 1200 mile challenge!  Have you got a friend to join you yet? 

Only 3 more weeks till we start!!!  Yahoo!
