7/24 Challenges

Alright, so we're still getting organized, but I figured I'd set up some challenges for all you go getters! These are optional, but I really urge you to choose one of the three at least and give it a go!
1) Running-
For all of you with running goals, first week challenge will be to rack up a total of 3 miles if you are just getting started, 6 miles, or 9 miles for those of you that have been running a bit more. Try spreading out the miles throughout the week, intervals of walking/running, but try your best to make those "running" miles and not walking!
2) Logging-
For everyone: log at least 5 out of 7 days no matter what! And drink a total of 8 glasses minimum. Get yourself used to this if you haven't been, everything put in your mouth adds up! If you've already been disciplined about this, good! Work on keeping your number to your goal and adding in more fruits and veggies!
3) Exercise-
In general, let's all try to rack in 20 minutes a day minimum, or a total of 140 minutes this week! It doesn't have to be strenuous, but just moving each day can really help!
Again, these are challenges and are OPTIONAL. Let's get started with these so that next week we can specifically target things you guys want to work on! If you want to see a specific exercise or food challenge, let one of us moderators know and we'll put something together!

Those sound like some great realistic challenges.
Looking forward to it.0 -
This will be great! I can do all of the challenges except running, but I will speed walk. I have been walking most days. I want to get back to running so maybe I can be running by labor day! Thanks for organizing the challenges!0

This sounds awesome! I could definitely use some motivation to get back into running!0

Thanks for some guidelines. I have a natural tendency to just do everything at once and set myself up for failure. I know I need to take it slow and overcome one thing at a time! Your goals are totally doable!!!0

i already do at least 30 minutes a day of exercise, and can't run due to back problems (my doctor thinks running is a trigger) so its # 2 for me .....i almost never get my 8 glasses of water and stop logging after a week or so so this will be good for me0
-
2and 3 for me. I am doing a learn to run 1 mile program right now so my alternative for number 1 is to do three days of the program this week, and not lack off!0

Thanks for posting these. I don't run but the rest will work for me.....um maybe the water part will be hard though LOL. I usually get 32-48 oz in but I am really pushing myself to get 64 oz each day.0

I have logged in everyday, drank my water everyday, and walked about 20 miles this week. I love these challenges
