Today starts Round 5!

We go for three months – until June 30 – and at the end, with a bit of UMPH, we will have met our goal.

Tips for meeting your goal:

Try Something New | Have you been wanting to try that spin class? Water aerobics? Bite the bullet and do it! You may just find that something that you love.

Aim for 7-8 miles a Week | Each challenge works out to be about 13 weeks long which means 8 miles a week (for a 100 mile goal) will get you to just over 100 at the end.

Keep Track of Workouts| I think tracking exercise is as important as tracking food. It motivates me to keep on going! So, keep an exercise log in a fun, new notebook. Join DailyMile – a fitness social network site. Use excel and make a spread sheet of your workouts.

Just a reminder:

Walking and running are mile for mile. Walk 3 miles? You earned 3 miles. Remember, though, no half miles! If you do 2.5 miles, you only get to count 2 miles so push yourself and go just a bit farther!

Everything else (biking, yoga, swimming, weights, etc.) are 15 minutes per mile.

Good luck!
