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!

December 2012 - The last hour

The last hour. . . . I remember the last hour of my Ironman. . . it wasn't pretty, it wasn't easy, but the lesson I learned there is to just keep moving one foot in front of the other, and eventually you will get there.....

 This is our last month of 2012,
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?!,
we are in the last hour,
waiting for the clock to strike. . . . .

We have almost made it - this is really it - our last month of the year 2012!

Are you going to reach your goal?

For me and some of you, it was 1200 miles in the year 2012

For some it was 600 miles in the year 2012

For others it was to log a mile a day

And yet others just hoped to do more than they did last year

How did you do?

I am excited to announce that on November 3rd, I completed Florida Ironman.  It was an unforgettable experience.  Here is a picture of me at the finish line of Florida Ironman on November 3rd.  Thanks to everyone for their support in this. . . .



So, after our 25 day vacation, my designer (my dear husband) had his laptop stolen.  It had all of his design work on it.  So, he has to start over with the 1200mile club finisher design.  I was hoping to have a picture of it for you to see today - but alas, it is not ready yet. . . sigh.

So, as soon as we can, we will have a 1200 mile club shirt design for you to purchase. . . . . sorry for the delay.

You may remember last month in my blog post, I challenged you all to walk/run a mile a day in the month of November.

"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!"

Well, the Christmas season is upon me. . . not sure how you are all feeling, but I feel it strong and heavy!  So, to help me deal with the excitement of the season, I have joined the 1st Annual Runner's Soul Holiday Run Streak.  

A mile a day is their challenge too!  Every day that you post on their facebook page that you DID IT!  Or post how far you ran, or with who, you are entered to win a prize! Oh I love prizes!  I would challenge you all to either start your own run streak, or if you had one going from the month of November, to keep it going.  And if you like prizes and are on facebook, join the Runner's Soul Run Streak on Facebook for prizes!!

Keep watching this blog for an update of the 1200 mile club logo design, and thank you for your patience.

Also watch for the 2013 Challenge!  It's brewing. . . . . .
