March Challenge

Somebody forgot to post the March Challenge. Oh wait a minute, that would be me. Ah well, here it is, better late than never.

Now that we’re all revved up and inspired by the Winter Olympic Athletes, Dawn and I want to challenge you to take some of their adventurous spirit and apply it to your exercise.

This month, do some runs outside your comfort zone. Stretch a long run if you’re used to running short. Run with a group if you’re used to running solo. Run somewhere, sometime else. Try a track or a trail, or a race you’ve never done before. Run outside if you always run on the treadmill. Try running in rain or snow. Heck if you already run in snow, try a treadmill!

Of course as with any challenge don’t forget to tell us about it. Tell what you did, how it went and if you will do it again.

I’ve had a tendency to walk up the last incline leading towards my crescent on runs around home lately, which means essentially walking the last km home. I thwarted that tendency last night by running down that hill first! […]

  2. […] Karen, posted that this month’s challenge is to step outside the box. Run somewhere different or at a different time, etc. I managed to step outside the box last Friday in my run with John as it was with some different people and in an area of the university I hadn’t run before. […]
