In April, I presented a "Choose Your Own Cardio Challenge variation to the MFP community. It was successful, but as soon as the Challenge was over in May, we all went our separate ways.
Recently, A fellow MFP asked me to start another one again to hold her accountable to her half marathon running goals.
I'm hoping this time around we can keep the momentum going and do this on a continual basis.
I've added a twist by adding Flexibility since is it the red-headed, stepchild of the fitness world, but it is very much an important component of fitness. We are good at making time to BEAT ourselves into a pulp, but not to stretch and elongate our muscles. With that said..... JOIN THE FCC!0 -

I've been slacking in the Flexibility Department. My Running has been slow as well.
I completed a 10.5 mile run on Saturday, September 22nd and 0 minutes of formal focused "stretching". That means I got to put it in my calendar and stop being in a rush.
58.5 miles to go by October 20th...a.k.a. the day before my FULL Marathon YIKES!
I'll be sure to re-up for the Challenge by then so I can take advantage of those miles LOL0 -
