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!

November - no regrets



I love this quote!  I mean I really love it!  This is so true for me - on many days, it is so hard to get out the door, to put on my shoes - but EVERY TIME I DO - - - I come home feeling this way!

No regrets - EVER!

Here are some of your Inspirational thoughts and quotes from last month:


I LOVE RUNNING!!! It is My time and everyone needs something that is theirs!!

No one saves us but ourselves.  No one can.  No one may.  
We ourselves must walk the path.     Buddha

I have learned that I actually LOVE to run. I have been telling myself that I hate it for years - 1200 mile club has changed my belief about running.

If you think you can, you will. If you think you can't, you won't.

Be flexible in your goals, it may not always go the way you plan

I can't "unlearn" the progress I've made....meaning that if I slip up or loose focus for a time, that doesn't mean I am starting at ground zero...you dont't unlearn the progress you've made.

Quote by Vincent Van Gogh:  What would life be like if we had no courage to attempt anything.

I've walked more than I thought I would have, and I have enjoyed it.

I have learned that in order to better care for the ones I love, I need to take time for me.  I also read on the back of someone's shirt "sometimes we run to feel nothing, to be numb to our pain and other times running helps us master our ability to push through the pain, whatever it is. So true!

Did you know that every minute you walk can extend your life by 1.5 to 2 minutes? In addition, many studies show that people who walk regularly live longer, weigh less, have lower blood pressure, and enjoy better overall health than non-walkers.


Thank you so much for sharing these!  I didn't realize when I asked you to share,  how much your thoughts would inspire me - and they really have!  Thank you.

Here I am in Florida on November 1st - just 2 more days until my big race, Ironman Florida - it is so unbelievable that I am here - with these people!  I still don't quite feel like I belong here - but I want to....

I think I am getting all my crying done now because at the end of the race, I don't think I will have any moisture left inside of me for tears ....  we will see.

Have a great November and thank you all for inspiring me at this really important time of my life!

I would like to challenge you all to get out and log at least 1 mile every day in the month of November! It will help us get our miles completed as well as keep us in a regular habit before the Christmas season is upon us!
