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!

March is over - Spring is HERE!

Where I live . . . .  March means

The First Day of Spring
Snow in the morning, Flip Flops in the Afternoon
Shoveling WET snow
Wondering if I don't shovel, will it melt or turn to ice. . . 
Not willing to take the chance
Hearing the birds chirping while shovelling
Fog and Snow
Blizzards
Wearing spikes on my runners to run outside
Running barefoot on dry ground
Kiwanis Music Festival Insanity 
Hoar Frost
Training on the bike trainer in dark breezeless basement
Driving for 2 hours to swim in the closest indoor pool

What was the most memorable March weather that you walked or ran in this month?



What's changed, is YOU!

What you saw in February


My moms dryer. I didn't get outside at all this month. 
I had to run at Mom's while Emma napped, but I did it and I'm feeling great. :D
my tv.
 I bumped into 2 friends.

feel better and stronger
It is amazing to be one of the only people out at 5:30am running on the freshly fallen snow,
 breathing that incredibly fresh air.
nothing- I can do a full run and see absolutely no cars- people- or anything. 
I love it running in the country.

Windless snowfall in Waterton
I don't know -- i forgot :)
OTHER people logging their miles for the 1200 mile club! :)
One glorious day of sunshine with NO wind! :)
beautiful skies

The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.  
increased energy and euphoria
beautiful blue skies and white snowy mountains
Mars. Looking rather red, low, and ominous
Have to go even though sun or snow!! It's a great motivation!!

My cast finally came on, bring on the Physio and training
Korean tour group taking pictures of  ice sculptures at Legislature grounds
6Am  on the clock
Flocks of geese in the fields.....Spring is coming!!!

The days slowly getting longer and longer. I love daylight savings!! 
Also means I can go for a run later in the day too and not be in the dark! haha
Rome, Italy
Florence, Italy

So many amazing things in Taiwan and Hong Kong
I saw determination :)
Running while crusin' in the Carribean.  Definitely a different experience while the boat is rocking and running on or treadmill, or better yet the outdoor track on the boat.  
Still breathtaking looking out at the ocean though!!

You might consider this lame...but the most unforgettable thing I saw this month was the scene in the 5 hour version of Pride and Prejudice when Mr. Darcy watches Eliza play the pianoforte and he has this "look" in his eyes.  Just makes my heart swoon!  Spent a few nights enjoying my evening run in front of my favorite movie in the world!

I participated in a relay with literally a few thousand people took part.  
Each had a story to share and inspire.  I was in awe of those who have worked so hard to over and conquer various challenges in their lives.  What a great group to be a part of!

Watching humpback whales jumping in the ocean while walking along the coast of hawaii
"My 600 Lb Life" - yes, ran on a treadmill. But outdoors this month!
The 6 mile count on the treadmill. I have never ran that far at once before now!
the scale go down!
lots of others out putting in their miles

nothing exciting this month
the barn out the window from the treadmill! Haha. Hurry up spring!
Western Flicker(beautiful bird ) at Indian Battle Park!!
Inspiring sister in law who just beat breast cancer kick butt at the moonlight run!
spring day

All my February miles were on the treadmill early in the morning. 
So my reflection in the window was about all I saw, lol
