100 Miles in 30 Days!

So, I have to share..... I did it! I set a goal for myself to run 100 miles in 30 days through the website MapMyRun and I did it! Well, honestly, it wasn't ALL running, some of it was walking and some of it was using the elliptical machine at my gym. But still... I'm dang happy I accomplished this goal. My exercise routine has been building over the years and I've been able to run a couple 5k races and enjoyed the many benefits of exercise. So, when I found this 100 Miles in 30 Days challenge on MapMyRun I thought I would take the challenge. Check out the challenge here....













Using MapMyRun has been a helpful tool to motivate me and map my runs through the city I live in. It's a great way to figure out how many miles it is from your home to a certain point and then back again.

Tori and I have doing a run through the city, with me running or walking and her riding a bike. It's been a nice way to enjoy the fresh air and have some great chats. I'm really not a big runner; not someone who plans to run a marathon anytime soon. But, again, the excerise itself is actually something I enjoy.

So, I challenge you all to give this a try; 100 Miles in 30 Days! Come on, I know you can! It's really not as tough as you think.
