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!

April is over and May is here!

When I think of the month May, I look forward to being able to really enjoy the outdoors - of doing everything outside!  I think of sunshine, rain, blossoming trees, the new green leaves, tulips, picnics,  and . . . I always think of Mother's day. . .

With the Summer Olympic games just around the corner (I am SOO excited by the way!) This video may get you excited too!

I love my mom, and I am so grateful that I am able to be a mom!

The hardest job and the best job . . . .

Your March Memories

I asked you during the month of March
"what has been your most memorable weather to walk or run in this past month?"
I LOVE what you had to say:

The nippy mornings having to be all bundled up.

fog

in the rain

inside

nothing

watched it through the window

stayed inside

Beautiful, sunny AND very windy!!

Had a week of running along the beach in Hawaii. Could get use to it!

sunshiney, warm weather

Still on the teadmill this month, but itching to get outside!! 

Too muddy out here in the hills!

snow in Quebec city

all indoors, still too cold for me!!

Gorgeous Hawaiian sun!

6 inches of new very wet snow that splashed with each footstep

still stuck on the treadmill in the basement, can't wait to get outside!
WIND

I didn't get out this month.  But I enjoyed the sunshine through my south windows!  

Lightly falling snow @ 6am

I ran several times upon a carpet of sparkly diamonds.

Most of my miles were done inside this month, 
but I watched a lot of snow fall and wind blow through the windows!

Walking in the sunshine in Germany.

did it all inside.  Sorry

The sun!! ... It rained a ton in Vancouver in March

new snow, with birds chirping

Chinook weather, but running on crunchy snow covered path :)

 2 solid weeks in the gorgeous Arizona sun!  HEAVEN!

I ran at 5:30 am on a Monday morning, before the temple walks were shoveled, so we ran on the street in the ruts from cars tires where it was frozen slush,, got home, shoveled the walk with the wettest snow imaginable, went inside, peaked out my window 2 hours later and it looked like I hadn't even shoveled.

I went for a run on a Saturday afternoon. It was warm, there was a bit of sunshine with light flurries. I love running in a light snowfall, it's always so quiet and peaceful. An absolutely perfect day for a run!

Late evening, snow coming straight down, it looked like Christmas!!

90 km winds for 3 hours in the Lethbridge coulees
