My 1,000 Miles in 1 Year Challenge! #1000Miles #FitnessChallenge
Wednesday, June 22, 2011 Posted by BusyWorkingMama
Do you sometimes crave a little excitement or change in your life? Don't get me wrong, I love my family, job and personal life, but sometimes I need to tackle something new or different.
This year I haven't really picked up anything "new" outside my recipe blog. I thought about it close to New Year's, but was unable to come up with any exciting new ideas. Then today, I noticed a friend post something on Facebook about a 1,000 mile running goal over the next year before his 40th birthday. He asked who would join him and 5 minutes later I was on board. Thanks, John, for the fitness motivation! So tomorrow starts the countdown to my 1,000 mile challenge. For my challenge I'm going to try to squeeze in 1,000 miles of running, walking and biking in the next year, starting tomorrow.
Are you in need of a fitness challenge? Join me in completing 1,000 miles or let me know what fitness goal you have! I'd love to swap motivation to meet our goals! I'll be blogging about it occasionally and tweeting at #1000Miles #FitnessChallenge

Love your Logo/button you put together for the challenge!
I am thinking about buying a pedometer to keep me motivated. Maybe I ll walk more than a hundred steps a day then :)

What a great idea! I'd love to say I'd join you, but I tend to start out strong and then slowly flake out and give up...I can always hope I'll still be going strong in a year though :) Good luck!

Oh wow, that'd be quite a goal and accomplishment to attain. I wish you all the best!

I'm doing this!!!! My running club gives out a 1,000 mile jacket (and 5k, 10k, 20k etc as you earn the 1,000 each year) and we started our 'year' on Dec 17th.. I have 166+ miles so far so I'm on track and a little ahead!!! Love this goal!
