This is the final call for miles for our April to June challenge.
Leave a comment and let me know your miles!
Also, share with us how it went! What were your challenges? What accomplishments are you most proud of? Are you going to do the challenge with us again?
Thank you for joining me on this challenge. I had so much fun! It is great motivation for me. Be proud of what you have done!
Don’t forget: Round TWO starts tomorrow (July 1)!
With one week left in our March through June challenge, it’s time to start thinking about Round TWO! We’ll follow the same pattern as we did in round one. So! If you’ve done it before, you know what to expect. If you haven’t, it’s easy! Join us!
Round TWO of our 100 Mile Challenge will start on Sunday, July 1 and end on Sunday, September 30.
For Round TWO, I am hoping to do a weekly spotlight of a participant. If you are interested in being highlighted (or if you definitely don’t want to), let me know!
Now, the nitty-gritty:
Here’s how it works:
· Each challenge runs for three months and you decide what your goal is. I personally aim for 100 miles in the three months, but we had some aim higher (400!) and some that aim lower. Any number is okay! Just make sure to push yourself.
· Each mile you walk or run equals a mile in the challenge.
· Every 15 minutes you spend doing other exercise (biking, yoga, tennis, swimming, etc) counts as one mile in the challenge
· There are NO half miles - push yourself to go that extra half mile or another seven minutes and count it as a mile. You can do it!
Each week (on Saturday afternoon), I will put out a call for miles and you will report in the comments how many miles you did that week. (No, you don’t have to be a blogger to participate – you can comment anonymously, just make sure to leave your name!) I will add your name and miles to the sidebar. Be sure to check back to make sure that my math is correct!
Please try to leave your miles Saturday evening or Sunday morning. I understand that things come up but it’s easier for me if most of the comments are left with in a day or two.
Here are some FAQ’s.
As always, feel free to contact me (email on sidebar) if you have any questions.
Anyone is invited to participate so invite your friends! Share it on Facebook. Email your grandma. :)
Leave a comment and let me know if you are interested in joining in! It’s great motivation to get moving, I promise!
Many thanks to Julie P. for pointing me to this quote.
Wow! One week left!
Leave me a comment with your miles for this week and go and
F I N I S H S T R O N G !!!
You can do it!
I was updating everyone’s miles this afternoon and I accidently closed the window with out saving. Now I’m not sure if I have updated everyone correctly. Will you double check and see if I need to add or remove miles from you?
Thanks!
Sorry for the late call for miles!
My daughter was running in our state’s Junior Olympics yesterday. We thought she might have to run today as well so we got a hotel and relaxed. She ended up not having to run, so we spent last night and this morning playing in the hotel’s pool.
She did well in her events – and qualified for the regional championship for the 400 meter.
Since it’s Father’s Day, I have to wish a happy father’s day to my dad (Jack) who probably met his goal this week. Also, a happy father’s day to my husband (Bryan) – I am so glad to be on this parenting journey with you!
Leave a comment with your miles, and we’ll see you next week! Just two weeks left!

I spent last night on a hard floor next to a shark tank for my daughter’s aquarium field trip. When I got home, it was time to get ready for the final pack meeting of the year for my Cub Scouts. The lack of sleep made me totally forget about doing a call for miles. Sorry for the delay!
First, everyone give a shout-out to Stacy. She completed a marathon today in 4:22. Way to go!
Now, leave you number for the week and go get ‘em for this week!
I can’t believe that it is June already! Just four weeks left of this challenge! How are you feeling about your goal? I am right on track to get to 100 in the next couple of weeks, and I am feeling strong.
I went walking this morning with some girls from my Portland to Coast team, and we did just over five miles. When we were done, I felt like I could keep going and I’m not totally worn out today so I must be getting stronger. A friend on that route, was feeling tired and slow so I posted the above picture (found here) with hopes that it will make her realize that she is doing just fine. You are doing just fine. Just keep going, and you’ll get there too.
Good luck in this last few weeks! Let me know how many miles. Also, let me know if you are interested in doing another challenge (July-September).
