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!

Final Call April-June

Today is the last day of June. {Eek! How did that happen already?!} How did you do this challenge? Did you make your goal? What did you struggle with? What did you do really well?

I started really strong, and then really fizzled. Not sure what happened exactly. I did not make my goal. I lost my motivation in the midst of stressful/busy times. I did find a walking buddy and we did well for several weeks. We are planning to be back on track this week and having someone waiting for me is very motivating. 

I think I'd like to do another challenge. Is anyone interested? Will you share this challenge with your friends? Let me know in the comments, and of course, leave your miles there too!

Hey, Fat Girl.

Call for Miles | Week 12

Week 12 ended on Sunday. How was your week? 

We're in the final week of the challenge. I think there are only two of us still reporting. I had hoped that the warmer weather would get me out more, but it hasn't worked. Sigh. Our final call for miles will come up on Monday. Is anyone interested in another round? 

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

Call for Miles | Weeks 10 & 11

Eek! I didn't realize that it had been two weeks since I had posted. I knew I was a day late...but I didn't realize I was a week and a day late. Oops! Sorry!

So, how have the last two weeks gone? Leave a comment with your miles. 

We've got two weeks to get to our goals. We can do this. Let's go get 'em!

(Please check your miles...make sure I have them right...am I missing a week?)

Call for Miles | Weeks 8 & 9

Sorry that I didn't post last week. We went camping for the long weekend, and I forgot about posting until the middle of the week. At that point, I figured I may as well wait and do two weeks in one. 

I've really struggled the last couple of weeks, so I've decided I need to start chanting this in my mind. It is not easy, but it is worth it. It's not easy, but it is worth it. 

Leave me a comment with you miles for the last two weeks. Four more weeks to reach our goals! Good luck everyone!

Call For Miles | Week 7

How was your week? Mine was not so good. It was super busy and I did not plan in any time to exercise, so that meant, I didn't exercise. I have another busy week (something just about every night of the week), but I am planning to exercise in the morning instead of the evening which is how I normally do things. 

Leave a comment with your miles from last week, and go get 'em this week! Please check your miles on the sidebar, and make sure I'm keeping up with your reports. :)

Call for Miles | Week 6

Happy Mother's Day, friends! I hope everyone has a lovely day!

How was your week? I had a triumph - it was my town's annual 6.7-mile race yesterday and I had a million reasons to not participate, but one big reason to participate. I think I've mentioned before that in August for the Portland to Coast relay, I am doing a nearly 8-mile leg. I needed to participate in yesterday race to prove to myself that 8-miles isn't totally unrealistic. 

I expected it to take me just under two hours to walk the 6.7 miles, but I was able to finish in 1 hour, 44 minutes. I was exhausted all day, and was ready to be done at the end, but I did it. And I have a few months to prepare to walk 8-miles about fifteen hours after walking 5-miles. 

Leave me a comment with your miles, struggles and triumphs. Good luck this week!

Call for Miles | Week 5

It's been a full month of this challenge. How's it going? Are you a third of the way to your goal? Do you need to change anything to reach your goal? 

I had a good week...nothing like the pressure of a impending race to get you moving. I'm participating in my town's annual 6.7 mile walk this week so I made sure to get out walking. A friend also convinced me to get to the gym for a tough water aerobics class. 

How was your week? Any frustrations? Any successes? Leave a comment with your miles, and go get 'em this week! Happy sweating!
