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!

September is mostly sweet you say...


Well, most of you who responded to September's question, " Is September bitter or sweet? and why" interestingly responded with sweet - I thought there would be more mourning of our summer months and easy going schedule. . . but alas - this is what you said:

Sweet, still running
sweet, canning peaches and salsa
sweet...I love- routine, vegetable harvest, fall weather, and  September is national weight loss month (not officially, just because I decided so)
Sweet, love the fall colors!

Both - bitter that summer is ending, sweet because it is like the start of a new year.
It's not so much sweet as it is bitter. The weather is changing and it's back to routines. I''m really going to miss the longer days of summer. 
It's only 9 weeks till Ironman - bitter and sweet!

Sweet...I love Fall!
Sweet,  best weather or all
It is sweet, because of the nice fall weather and shorter days.
Sweet.  I love the feeling of fall because it brings my favorite colours
It's sweet. There still will be beautiful days.

September 2012

Remember this commercial?



I have mixed feelings about 'Back to School' time this year.  It is taking away my babysitters, and we have to start Kindergarten (which is NOT full time, so it is just enough school to wet the taste buds - but also just enough to take away the freedom.  Sigh.)

I am going to really have to work on getting a new routine, and getting it to work quickly.

As much as I love routines, I don't love change. . . . so I guess that is what makes September a little bitter-sweet for me.

But the miles are adding up - and it is feeling good!

How about you?
