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!

with a partner


Friend
I prefer to run by myself, and walk with a friend
Love walking with a friend!
with someone
I prefer to walk with a partner.
with a friend/husband/family
First choice is with someone...don't like to do it alone unless I'm at the gym.


I like to run alone. I spend all day with people at work then kids at home. 
Nice to run alone and not have to think about anything!
Alone
alone
Alone...sometimes it's the only "alone time" I get!


alone
I usually run by myself, my music, my thoughts....(We can solve the worlds problems while running) and my dogs.... (for safety from the Bears, Cougars and Wolves).  Sometimes my kids on their bikes...( for bait) haha .  And that is if the wind isn't blowing crazy out here in Mountain View...if that is the case it's by myself on my reliable treadmill with the news...Kelly....The View....or The Doctors..


depends on my mood


both, i enjoy the solitude of a good,hard run but also enjoy a good chat with a friend while walking.


Depends on the day and my mood!
I love to be alone to think, and I forget that I also love to run with a friend - I always learn something GREAT when I do!
walk with a friend or partner
