Valentine's Challenge

Hey there fellow MFP'ers!
I started pretty late but in the month of December my goal was to run the distance from Nazareth to Bethlehem by the end of the month. I'm just over half way but I only have about 5 days left! Haha! Quite a ways to go but unfortunately I won't make it...sad. lol!
Anyhow, I wanted to come up with a new challenge, a new distance to run and was wondering if anyone wanted to do this with me! Valentine's day seemed like the next great goal to have this accomplished by, but I wasn't sure what said "goal" should be!ll...
I thought it would be clever to run from London to Paris but it was a tad on the long side: 289 miles! Haha! We have 6 weeks until Valentine's Day but still...lol! But I started thinking about it, and the different places and things I found romantic. I have always wanted to go to NYC and actually its on the top ten most romantic places to visit. I kept thinking and I love the show "The Office." The love story between Jim and Pam is just adorable and I love all the good times snuggled on the couch watching them fall in love!
SO! I am going to run from Scranton, Pennsylvania to New York City! Scranton, for those who don't know is the supposed location of NBC's loveable Office. Its 120 miles and I think that is the perfect amount to run between now and Valentine's day. You can do it however you want: Run, walk, swim...whatever you are doing physically to travel those miles! I just wanted to share my challenge and see if I could get some people to join me on my mission of romance and good health! Maybe I'll re-watch the office along the way!!

Great! that means I'm in.....I think we should check in whenever we complete miles so everyone can see the progress. If not, everyone should at least check in weekly.0 -

120 miles by V-day will be tough for me but it might push me harder than usual and that's good!0 -
