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!

LET IT BEGIN!!!


We have had a few great additions to the club in the last 24 hours - my almost 68 year old mother is #70 in the 1200 mile club - and has accepted the challenge!  My goal is actually to keep up to her!  Even Duane said "I've done the math . . . . sign me up!"

I am actually going for a 1 mile walk around Grandma and Grandpa's complex here in San Antonio, only 1199 miles left!  (ha ha ha)

Wishing all 74 participants of the 1200mile club a Happy New Year . . . . . and as Rhino says in the movie Bolt, "LET IT BEGIN!"

    Well, it began! I went for a 4 mile walk with my wife tonight.

    So, how am I going to figure in the snowboarding tomorrow - maybe vertical feet? 5,280 feet in a mile, so if I do over 21,000 vertical feet, you gonna let me count it?? :) (Holy cow - I don't know if that's even possible in one day!) Guess I'm going for a run after skiing tomorrow....

    Way to make it work Rob! I need to go for a 4 mile walk with my spouse too, cause Tuesday is 20 hours on the train - I wonder how the other passengers will feel about me jogging from car to car. . . . ha ha - where there is a will there's a way right?!
