Round 3 Starts Today

Round 3 starts today! I can’t believe that’s been six months since I decided to try this. Thanks to those of you that have been here from the start, and welcome to those of you that may be joining us for the first time.

My goal for this time around is to actually get to my goal (so disappointed to be a few miles short in Round TWO), and I really want to get serious about running. My dad is a runner and has been forever. My sister (Hi, Stacy!) took up running a few years ago and now does marathons. I figure that means that there is a runner inside of me somewhere. I’m on a mission to find her.

Not that I see myself running marathons. But going our for a three mile run everyday? That’s the kind of runner I want to be. Any advice for me?

What are your goals for round 3? Are you hoping to try some new exercises? To get faster miles? Are you hoping to drink more water while you work out? Are you hoping to get even more miles than last time?

Tell me in the comments and maybe we’ll get some good ideas and motivation from each other.

Round TWO | Final Call for Miles

Congrats! You are at the end of round TWO! How did you do?

I’ll be honest – summer was hard for me. I don’t know why, but it was and I didn’t push enough once school started to reach my goal. I’m disappointed to report that I am a few miles short of my goal.

But! That’s okay. Because: Now I know that I need to push myself a little harder to make it to my goal. And, I will get my goal for round 3.

So, me let know how you did this week in the comments. Let me know what you think of the challenge over-all. And, be sure to take a badge to show off that you did it!

Round 3

It’s time to sign up to participate in Round 3 of the 100 Miles in 3 Months Challenge. I am SO excited to be getting ready to start again. This really keeps me motivated to work out each week and I hope that is what it does for you too.

First of all, go here and read what this challenge is all about.

Then, go read through the FAQ. (Be sure to let me know if I didn’t cover something you have a question about.)

And, finally, leave a comment below if you are interested in joining. We will begin this challenge on Monday, October 1 and it will end on Monday, December 31.

Weekly calls for miles will go up on Sundays.

The beauty of this challenge is that it can be what you want it to be. Do you run marathons like Stacy? Make your goal higher. Are you just trying to get your 30 recommended minutes a day like me? Aim for 100 miles and you’ll get there.

So, if you’re in, grab a badge and post it on your blog or your Facebook page or your Daily Mile profile. Spread the word and invite your friends. (I don’t know html so I don’t make a real button…just right click the image and save it to your computer.)

I can’t wait!

Call for Miles | Week 12

I saw this picture online and I thought about how true it is. When I started working out regularly, I was so tired that this wasn’t true but after a couple of months?  Totally true. I found that I was happier and had more energy, and that is why I do this.

One week left of Round TWO! The last call for miles will go up next Sunday. (Round 3 will start on Monday. I’ll be putting up a call for participation this week. Please let me know on that post if you are interested in playing along again. Also, spread the word and invite your friends.)

How are you feeling as we near the end of this round? Are you getting close? Or are you like me, and will be scrambling to get to your goal this week?

Let me know…

Call for Miles | Week 11

We have two weeks (and one day) left. So many of you are getting so close! A few of you have crossed the finish line (and are continuing on), and I am loving it.

How was your week? Let me know in the comments.

Also : Congrats to Timber! She is expecting another baby – due in the spring!

Call for Miles | Week 10

Just a few weeks left of round TWO! Who’s up for round three?

It’s been exciting to see a couple of you meet your goal over the last few weeks! I’ll admit – the summer threw me for a bigger loop than I expected and I am going to have to push extra hard over the next three weeks to get my miles in.

Let me know your miles for this week – and (as always) don’t forget to check my math once in awhile.

Have a great week!

Call for Miles | Week 9

This week was a doozy for me… the kids are headed back to school Tuesday so we were busy preparing for that and then we went camping for the long weekend. Such a good time.

I will say, though, that I am ready for school to start and for me to be back in a regular routine for exercise. Hopefully, I’ll meet my 100 mile goal!

How was your week? Let me know in the comments and go get them this week!
