What a way to start the 31 day challenge! I ran/walked 13.1 miles in the mini marathon with my brother to help raise money for Youth for Christ. As my brother so importantly stated, do not underestimate the .1 in 13.1. Believe me, every step by that point was a tough one. I had so much fun doing this with my brother on Saturday. It goes by so fast when you have a buddy.
Speaking of buddies. I am checking in on each of you that are in the 31 day challenge. Do you have your buddy? Are you being a good buddy to them. Don't forget that as important as it is to be motivated it is just as important for you to continue to motivate your buddy as well. You both need each other to get through these 31 days.
I honestly know that I could not have ran the first 10K of the mini marathon without my brother pushing me along the way and last year I am sure that he wouldn't have ran as much as he did had I not have pushed him. This is an important reminder that there are times when we are strong and can help others and there are times when we are weak and need the help from others to make it through. This is what your buddy is for.
Keep up the good work everyone. 26 days to go!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks girl! Are you taking the 31 day challenge? It is not too late to start. If you need a buddy I am more than happy to be one with whatever goal you choose. :)
ReplyDeleteHey girl! I'm doing good so far. Writing down everything that enters my mouth. :)
ReplyDeleteYou and me both! I have been using my blackberry task manager to log my food. That way it is always with me and no excuses not to record it. I am also sending it to Heather everyday. Keeps me accountable knowing that she is reading what I am eating. You bite it, you write it! Keep up the good work! You are looking fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAfter the Biggest Looser last night, I am doing the mini in May. :-) Big long term goal for me!

Once it get's closer to the mini we can jog more! YAY! Another Mini participant. Let me konw if you would like to be on the Youth for Christ team as well. You are going to be hooked! It is such an awesome thing to be a part of every year!
