Run 100 miles in May?! Sure, I'll try that.

Do you know about dailymile.com? It is a great website where you can log workouts, running, yoga, cycling, crossfit, etc. You can create a route using their mapping tools and you can even put in your personal information and see how many calories you burn per workout. I'm not so great with tracking all workouts, mostly remember to post when I run, which seems to be infrequent.

If you recall in a recent post I thought it was a great idea to sign up for an event to keep you motivated. I didn't "sign up" for an official event but I did agree to participate in a challenge on dailymile.com to run 100 miles in May.  I love how it started today, that gives me an extra few days and my 3 mile run today counts. sweet! This should help me jump start my running and get me back on track for my Bike Run Yoga Challenge.

If you are interested in challenging yourself, come join me and run 100 miles in May! Look for me on dailymile.com, my username is bikerunyoga. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

2011 Bike Run Yoga Challenge is HERE!! Complete 12 Events in 12 months!

Bike Run Yoga…that’s my tri is about being healthy and doing what you love. I personally am not a fan, yet, of swimming so my ideal triathlon would be one where I could Bike, Run and do Yoga. This is the third year of the challenge. In 2009 I completed 12 events, in 2010 I completed 16. Even though I didn't reach my goal of 24 events, I still feel I did an amazing job. It's not so much about completing 24 events as it is about getting out there and being healthy and having fun.

Before 2009 I worked out modestly and had done some cycling and yoga but mostly PAID for yoga membership and gym membership with little “attendance.” I sat on the couch after work and watched tv or I would just surf the net all night. I was gaining weight and I had two choices, spend money to get new clothes or get and up and get exercising!

January 2009 started off with attendance at a Team in Training meeting in hopes of learning how to run a 5K and swim enough so I could do a sprint tri. At the meeting I phoned my friend Ginny and she somehow convinced me to run a marathon and that is how this all started.

Join me in this awesome personal challenge where you are sure to find out many things about yourself, perhaps the most important is that you can do anything you set your mind to. You CAN do it!
