Monthly Group Challenges
What are we thinking for starting our monthly group challenges? We could start with something like "Walk / Run / Jog 25 miles in February"? Or we could go food based... Thoughts? Edit: 1/31 - Since we seem to be good with the "Walk, Jog, Run! 25 miles" challenge for February, I've set up a Google Doc that you can access…

Personal Challenge
What is your next personal challenge? It can be an exercise challenge, a nutrition challenge or even a life goals challenge. For me, my next challenge is to get to a comfortable level running a 10k. I've only run that distance once and it was yesterday and I have some sort of chest congestion, but it was hard. I had to…

100 Push-up Challenge
Has anyone else tried this? I found the site at: http://hundredpushups.com/#sthash.1jxhivut.dpbs I started last night on Week 1 in the "11 - 20" initial test column, since I was able to do 13 good form push-ups. It seems low to me, but I guess that's what this program is about! If you've tried it, please let me know! How…

When an achievement doesn't feel like it...
Here's the backstory... I began the C25K program back in October. Pushed through week by week and month by month until I "graduated" the program right before Christmas. I've been adding in time week by week and am now running 40 minutes straight and 4.1+ miles... So here's my dilemma... I don't feel like I've accomplished…

Where do you walk?
I'm in the Gumbranch area of Jacksonville. My wife and I are looking to start walking on Mondays during the day (we're off and the kids are in school).
