Nike+ Running Challenges

Hiya, it's Mariah!

I hate running. It's terrible, boring, and doesn't get me motivated at all. But recently, I discovered an app that makes me want to run by participating in challenges. 9 Days ago I competed in my first Nike+ Running challenge which was to see who could run 20 miles first by the end of this month. I finish 1st and it only took me 9 days. The addiction of constantly logging in and seeing the progress of others made me want to run more. As I saw the "you are ahead by x-miles" my motivation increased and I continued to run. I decided to set a personal goal which is to run 100 miles by August 1, and I'm about 30 miles in thus far, but since I'm not competing against others, I don't "feel" like doing it.

and that's why I'm coming here.....

I would like to kindly ask my fellow FitnessPals to add me on Nike+ Running so we can do challenges together, and help motivate one another. Since I am new to the app I don't have many friends and the ones that I do have, don't actually utilize the app for the purpose intended.

So, If you enjoy doing challenges, please add me, I would greatly appreciate it

    Is it through the iPhone app? I see I have a nike + feature in my settings on my phone! I ran this morning... Didn't use my phone but I felt great after moving my nearly 300lb body!

    Another cool feature of nike+ running is you can set up challenges against YOURSELF. If you go onto the nike+ website and log in you can set up distance, PR, amount of runs, or calorie challenges. I just completed my first, to run more, 12x in 24 days! My current is 2400 calories burned in 24 days. So fun!

    Whao!!! My own mind has offically been blown. I had no idea that you could do that. Look at you. Making a complete strangers days. That's awesome that you completed your own challenge against yourself. Keep up the good work!

    Yeah, its called Nike+ and its both on Iphone and Andriod. Wow, nice job running. i'm just off 200 lbs So i know what you mean in reference to gettting up and moving. I enjoy it. Makes me feel likeI actually am doing something when I run. You definitely should download it, its free and think you would like it.

    Hi all!! I really love walking/running... I am currently pushing my hardest to become a runner and use the Nike app. I love it. I've gone from the treadmill to pavement and I LOVE it!! I am slower than a snail but it isn't stopping me. I will add you guys if that is okay. And please feel free to add me Raychelle Remson. I would love to see others people time as motivation to get my legs to move a little faster!!!
