Just a reminder on this busy weekend that the Challenge is on its way.  We start Monday.  Of course you can join anytime (or change your goal anytime) but you still have to finish on time (May 18th).  I don’t want you to loose any days.  If you are planning on joining, let me hear from you (hit reply and give me your challenge and your challenge name).  Also, I challenge you to challenge others to join you.  This is open to anyone!  Use this as a motivation for yourself and any friends who may also need a little push.  We are not competing with each other, just our own goals, but we can certainly challenge each other to do something.

You have the full 40 days to get in your cumulative goal total (hours or miles).  I’ve added another “write in” category.  I’m calling it the Selection.  You select the number of miles you are committing to do and then get them in anyway you want mixing up the method between walking, running, elliptical or biking.  Remember you can get these miles in anywhere – track, machines at the gym, out doors in your neighborhood or where ever you choose.

Remember that this is a challenge, so challenge yourself.  Make sure it is more than you are currently doing.  For instance, I’ve selected to do 2 challenges.  I’m doing the Instructors Dozen which is just a few more classes than I’m already doing and teaching, but I will have to come in on a few days off or hit some evenings to get in the extra.  I’m also doing the Selection with 60 miles of anything I want.  I don’t normally get my cardio on the spin bike or elliptical so I plan to hit those and change up what I am currently doing —

Here are those that are currently committed and who are challenging you to join them now (can’t you just see them with their hands on their hips and their tongue stuck out saying nah nah nah nah nah — nah nah nah nah nu -I’m gonna do it and so I challenge you)
