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!

February 2012, Leap Year

So, did you use your extra day this month (February 29th)  to get in a few more miles?  I can't believe February is really over!  One month closer to Spring!!

Since February is the month of LOVE, I am hoping you will all tell me one thing you love about running or walking.

I am not sure what I am going to pick, because I had an amazing opportunity to go to Hong Kong and Taiwan this past month. . . . where there was no snow - I have too many things to pick from. . . here are a few photos of places I walked and ran while I was on vacation there.

The secret hotsprings - they were remarkable 
the end of my run up in the mountains in Taiwan - Carrie's hill workout - it was tough, but so beautiful
