I challenge YOU in August!
BY: ironannekidd on 2012-07-22 4:44 PM

This challenge is for everyone.

Here's the deal: The challenge is for run minutes + another activity that is not cycling or swimming.

So you could have running + yoga, or running + strength training, or running + walking the dog...

At the end of the month I have a prize for whomever has the most minutes for the month.

Are you in?

I'm in!  I am working on a 25k training anyway, so this will help kick me in the rear!

It takes guts to follow your dreams. Courage. Many people, even those who love you, don’t understand how compelling that can be, and will try to keep you in the “safety zone.” But eff that. Half the fun is venturing into the unknown, taking on the difficult task that yields new knowledge, doing more and testing your limits. - Marshall Ulrich

Why you hating on the bike Nekkid??????

How about non-commuting biking (because you know I get 95% of my bike time in on my commutes)????

Come on Nekkid you just relaxed in NC and were unduely influenced by Robin because she doesn't like the bike

Run and Non-Commute Bike Training (but be warned before you agree - I just became part of B2B IM relay and I received the bike duty )

And I agree completely with the swimming part being left out

I will give you one of my purple stars also

That is an offer no one can refuse right?

So I was looking at my stats the other day and October was my highest posting month all the year long - I wonder why????

OK I will wait to see your response tomorrow - I am off to a non-commuting bike ride - but only 1 of 2 I have scheduled all week long

I'm in for running + yoga.  I'm tapering for my HIM in August, so I'll probably be adding in a lot of yoga minutes to calm my nerves (and muscles!)

Mr. Graves,

I am not hating on biking, I am trying to make the challenge as fair as possible. You, sir, are an animal on the bike. You could run 3 minutes, but bike a million for the month. You bike like most people breathe.

Since I started this I guess I should throw out there that I will be running and strength training. I hope you all plan to work because I have every intention of winning my own challenge.

Robin, if you do NOT beat me I am coming back down to NC and kicking your azz. RUN!!!
