Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, X-t and I participated in a Ho Ho Holiday Challenge. The challenge was to run 100 miles between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was a great way to stay motivated through the holiday season.
So we were thinking…how could we challenge ourselves throughout the year? There are a lot of great challenges out there to participate in, but we wanted a good reward too. We decided to run 1,000 miles this year. Using Google Maps, we charted a course that would take us someplace 1,000 miles for a vacation. Charleston, South Carolina is 1,001 miles away and looks like a pretty nice place to take a vacation. We are going to make it a car trip and follow the route that we ran.
For every mile that we run, we are going to put a dollar in the savings account. By the time the challenge is over we will have saved $2,000 for our trip. I am currently 20 miles into the trip and have saved $20. On the map, it shows that I am in Park Ridge, IL. X-t is a little behind me since he only runs outside.
I will give you a report on my progress every now and then so as to keep you updated as to where I am and to keep me honest...
How are you motivating yourself in the new year?
