So sorry I almost missed your comment he...Hi Trish! So sorry I almost missed your comment here. <br /><br />I did not know you were the original founder of the 100 Mile Fitness Challenge blog! When I wanted to start a challenge like this, I actually came upon that blog but it was inactive for about a year at that point so started this one here. I did give them credit for the idea in my first post <a href="http://theromanticlife.blogspot.com/2011/01/fitness-challenge-2011-sign-up.html" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>. Frankly, it has really been mostly just myself and my friend Brandy doing this challenge together this year, so I think I will gladly jump over to the Fitness Challenge Blog with Jill and Amanda if they are picking it back up! Thanks for the heads up! <br /><br />Of course, I will be dragging Brandy (and anyone else who visits my blog for fitness inspiration) with me. That's what friends are for! :DChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-46398720898599664202011-12-06T13:54:03.447-05:002011-12-06T13:54:03.447-05:00Just noticed this!

They're taking a break right now but have some exciting plans for January--be sure to check it out! :)Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-537302979316979452011-12-02T14:03:22.192-05:002011-12-02T14:03:22.192-05:00Paula, oh no!

It'll probably go by faster than you think and you'll be out on that 2 1/2 mile loop again. <br /><br />Brandy, I know you are, but it's okay. The reason we exercise regularly is to keep our bodies strong and healthy so that when we do get sick, we're able to fight back stronger than if we weren't fit. Just think how much more complicated your situation could be if you didn't have a healthy cardiovascular system! <br /><br />I know what you mean about the running thing. Which is why having a running buddy is helpful. It's a nice distraction. :) <br /><br />Wishing you a speedy recovery and a healthful December. xo <br /><br />Alex, sorry to hear you were ill. Hope you're better by now. You'll pick up the exercise again when your body is ready. :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-72961842979683486022011-11-30T22:56:28.183-05:002011-11-30T22:56:28.183-05:00I've been sick most of the month so I haven...I've been sick most of the month so I haven't really done much exercise lately :(<br /><br />I feel sad, but I'm so glad you keep on with your goals! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-10186378289513727192011-11-30T16:42:26.741-05:002011-11-30T16:42:26.741-05:00I'm still upset that I won't be making my ...I'm still upset that I won't be making my goal this month. <br />BUT, you did good this month! WTG! <br />I've tried running, I really have, but it's not for me. Funny enough part of it's because I think TOO much while trying to run. *g* <br /><br />I wish you the absolute best for December!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738504696243512495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-15280046029231901672011-11-30T14:58:27.348-05:002011-11-30T14:58:27.348-05:00I'm going to keep my eye on this.

Said 6 wks recovery can exercise but won't feel too good when I do it and we'll talk about running >.< not happy but oh well. Maybe in Feb or March I can join in. Never really kept track but google mapped the path I usually walk and it came out to 2 1/2 miles not so bad : ) and on the treadmill I always do a mile.<br /><br />PaulaPaula Calvanicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01071152704222978446noreply@blogger.com
