31 days til(l) Summer Challenge

Hey friends,

If you're at this blog it's because you're joining me and others for the next 31 days on making some fun healthy decisions for your health. If you want access to also post on this blog and to share your experience, please let me know.

Alright, what's your goal for the next 31 days? What are the 31 things you've picked?



The Challenge

So, here's the deal. I haven't been shy asking for help in my fitness journey. Some of you are my fitness instructors who encouraged me to become an instructor...some of you are fellow workout buddies who inspire me every single day! Some of you are friends who have invited me into your own personal journey of finding health. I am privileged to be surrounded by such great friends who care about my health. :)

I just made this little challenge up on my own. I figured out that there are some 31 days until summer from this Friday...What what?? Summer is almost here. So I thought what could I do with friends to welcome in this long-awaited summer.....and here's this challenge. The challenge is totally user-adaptive...you pick 31 things you commit to doing for the next 31 days whether it's running local stairs on Sundays...increasing your mileage on your runs, joining a gym, trying a new gym class...it's playaaaaaa's choice. You pick 'em and you share 'em and share your results.

If you're in, let me know. I can help you set up blog or twitter account that would help you share your stories and be an inspiration to someone else...just like you've inspired me :) If you're in Omaha, I'll be running local stairs on the Sundays that I'm in town...we'll be doing the Memorial Park stairs this Sunday or sneaking into UNOs stadium :)

Challenge starts this Friday.
You in!? :)
