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!

Runner's Creed -- The Road to Peace
The "Runner's Creed" says it all for me today.
How are YOU feeling one week into the 1200 mile challenge?
I feel great. I ran 15 miles last week. Today I ran 1h30 in blistering cold wind, and for those who know Calgary, I ran up the stairs to the WWII Battalion numbers on Signal Hill. The view of the sun over the city was spectacular.
I feel great. I am not as brave to run/walk outside. Have been using the wii fit as well as the treadmill. I can't believe how well I feel. Lots of energy. This is Peggy not Doug. Lol
