1,000 Mile Challenge

You know how I love a good challenge!  Last summer I completed 75 miles in the month of July.  I set a goal, I worked at it, and I reached my goal.  Setting and accomplishing goals makes me feel so good.  That is when I saw this challenge I knew I had to check it out.

What challenge is it?  It is the 1,000 mile challenge - 1,000 miles in one year.  The challenge is to walk, run, skip, etc. 1,000 miles starting June 6, 2015 and ending June 5, 2016.  You can track your steps by using a pedometer, running / walking apps, Fit Bit, Vivo Fit, or other tracking device.  I will be using my Vivo Fit to track my miles.   If 1,000 miles seems like too much, you can form a team and divide the 1,000 miles between your team.  It averages out to walking 2.73 miles per day.  That seems doable, right?

The best part about this challenge is that if you do it, and register online using the website, 50% of your registration fee is donated to a charity.  You can select your charity from a list of partner charities.  You even have a chance to earn extra donation money by using a specific tracking app.  I probably won't do this just because I don't want to use the data to run the app each time.

One reason I was so successful with my 75 miles in July challenge is because I had people completing it with me.  There truly is strength in numbers.  I have one friend signed up.  I would love to see more!  Here is the link for the 1,000 mile challenge if anyone is interested in completing it.  Act quick!  Registration ends at the end of June.

Set a goal, make a plan, and work at it!  Action!

P.S.  I will be looking for people to help by walking/running with me...any takers?
