Final Call for Miles

{source}

Hey all! It's the final call for miles for this challenge. Let me know your miles for this week (+ 2 days). And, let me say: Well done! Those of you still reporting did not give up and I think that is fabulous. Congrats on making it to the end!

This is the 8th challenge that I have hosted here. Thank you for participating. Thank you for checking in. Thank you for the encouragement + support. Numbers have dwindled to the point that only two or three of us are participating. As we head in to the season when numbers typically decrease, I am going to take a break from hosting another challenge. I may bring it back at the start of the year, but I'm not sure. 

I want you to continue to GIVE IT YOUR ALL, and go after those fitness goals that you have. You can do it!

Call for Miles | Week 10

Today is the end of week 10. Just 3 1/2 weeks of this round left. Hard to believe that we are marching on this close to October and the holidays that follow. How is it going for you this round? Are you on track to meet your goal? Any adjustments need to be made? 

I've done pretty well this round until the last week and a half or so. I should meet my goal, but only if I get back to working out. I have about 40 minutes between when my big kids go to school and when my youngest needs to get out of bed, so my plan is to walk or do step aerobics during the time. Wish me luck!

Leave a comment with your miles for this past week and good luck this week!

Call for Miles | Week 9

Sunday was the end of week 9. We were at the coast for the long weekend...sorry for the delay in posting! How was your week? Leave a comment with your miles, and good luck this week!

Call for Miles | Week 8

Sorry for the delay in posting. I got home from a 129-mile relay at about 11:45pm Saturday night. We got about two hours of sleep during the event, and I pretty much sat on the couch all day Sunday. :) Big congrats go out to Ruth who did Portland to Coast with us for the first time. This was my sixth year, and I had a blast. 

How was your workout week? Our week ended on Sunday. Leave a comment with your miles, and I'll get them updated. Good luck this week!

Call for Miles | Week 7

Yesterday was the end of week 7. We are a bit more than halfway through this challenge. Are you a bit more than halfway to your goal? What can you do to get there? 

Leave a comment with your miles, and I'll get them tallied up on the sidebar. Good luck this week!

Call for Miles | Week 6

Hey! Sorry for the delay in this week's call for miles. I got caught up in friends moving, summer winding down and parents visiting. I hope you are all doing well.  Leave a comment with your miles (remember, our week ended yesterday [two days ago, by the time most of you read this]) and good luck this week! 

Oh, and please, double-check my math! It's not my strong suit. :) You could also share the plan you have in place to reach your goal. 

Call for Miles | Week 5

Wow! In to August already. Hard to believe! 

Today is the end of another week. How did it go? Are you getting closer to your goal? This week I tried out swimming as exercise -- it's hard! but, I enjoyed it. 

Leave a comment with your miles for the week, and good luck this week!

Call for Miles | Week 4

Hard to believe that it's the end of July (just about!), and that we are one month in on our challenge. Don't give up! You are getting to your goal. You can do it! Leave a comment with your miles. Let us know if you are making any specific goals for the coming week. Have a great week!

Call for Miles | Week 3

Today is the last day of week 3. How was your week? We've been enjoying some great warm weather so I was able to get out a few times for a few good walks. Leave a comment with your miles. Good luck this week!

Call for Miles | Week 2

Today is Sunday, and the last day of week 2. How was your week? Share your triumphs and struggles, and of course, leave your miles. Have a great week!

Call for Miles | Week 1

Today is Sunday so today is the last day of week 1. So, count up your miles (remember - walking and running count mile for mile [no half miles!], everything else is 15 minutes to a mile) and leave a comment with your miles. Share any struggles or triumphs as well. 

Good luck in week two!

New Challenge | July - September

It’s time for another round!

This quarter, our challenge will run from today (July 1) to Tuesday, September 30. 

Here’s how it works:

1) Make a goal. Your goal anything you want – Mine is the standard 100 miles, but others choose to go for more, and it’s okay to go for less. Make it something that is do-able for you!

2) Log your miles. Everyday for the next three months, log your miles. Keep track in your planner, on your phone, on dailymile or in your head. Just remember:

• If you walk or run, count it mile for mile.
• If you bike, swim, do yoga or lift weights (or whatever else), count 15 minutes for 1 mile. 

3) Check in. Every Sunday, I’ll post a call for miles. Leave a comment with how many you did. Also, share your goals for the coming week, and difficulties or successes that you have. We’re a community to support and cheer you on, but we can’t if we don’t know what is happening with you.

It’s fairly easy, and you’ll feel great when you’ve accomplished your goal. You can do it!

Feel free to comment or email me if you have any questions.
