Yesterday afternoon, I was conversing with this lovely lady about the completion of her 30 day Bikram Yoga Challenge. {Doesn't that rock!?}
That got me thinking...Maybe I should do a thirty day challenge. I mean, I've been struggling a bit to get back on the running horse ever since my 1/2 marathon. Maybe I could challenge myself to run for 30 days?
Then, it occured to me that it was June 1st. That means my birthday is 31 days from yesterday. And, it's my 31st birthday. And yesterday was National Running Day.
Ummm, yeah. How could I not do this?
So, I went home and ran on the treadmill. {We were having quite the thunderstorm, otherwise I'd have been outside.}
I have been going to Boot Camp on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and will continue to do so. {went this morning! holla!} I'm going to count those workouts in the challenge. So, every non-boot camp day between now and my birthday, I'll be running. Thus making 31 workouts before I turn 31.
Think I can do it? Think I will do it?
I'm telling you guys here, so that you can hold me accountable. Also, I joined Dailymile.com. Unfortunately none of my Facebook or Twitter friends are on there. :( Anyone want to join and motivate each other? I won't harp on you to run everyday. I don't expect anyone else to be this crazy. ;)
Have you ever done a 30 day challenge? Were you successful?
p.s. wouldn't you love to have her abs?
super inspiring! i can never motivate myself to run. i could walk for miles, though! this challenge might be exactly what i need:)
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, 31 workouts in 31 days? I thought you were supposed to give yourself at least 1 day off a week so your muscles can rest? Or is that not a thing anymore?
ReplyDeleteI know, I'm crazy!
ReplyDeleteObviously, I'm not an expert, but I believe since I'm switching it up with boot camp and running {thus using different muscles} that I'll be okay. Plus, it's only short term. I wouldn't try to keep it up indefinitely. Just for 31 days. ;)
I can't run. My heart can not take it, but a good challenge is good for your lifting your spirits as you complete it, say after day until it becomes habit.
ReplyDeleteYou CAN do it!
<><
hahaha does a 30 day clothing remix challenge count? Good for you, I should probably start working out to Jillian Michaels again, or something....

super inspiring! 30 day challenges are so hard, but so worth it in the end. I don't know if I could do a running challenge--the only challenges I do is painting a still life every day (a really small one) and I've only done two weeks at a time. Good luck on your challenge!
ReplyDeleteInspiring post! I don't run but my husband just recently bought a Precor eliptical. I've been on it but not as much as I should. I think I should do a 30 day challenge and use that as my tool!
ReplyDeleteYes, great abs!
you go girl! isn't it great when we set a goal and become excited about it! you CAN do anything you set your mind to!
ReplyDeleteYES you can do it!!!
ReplyDeletei did the 100 push up challenge ... though i think that was over 6 weeks. you worked yourself up to do 100. it was hard, but i did it. don't ask me to do 5 push ups now. lol. i can't do it anymore.
ReplyDeletei think you will do it!
