31 Miles in 31 Days

Alright, alright. You people have guilted me into getting off my busy lazy spreading(!) backside.   

With all that running, posting, tweeting, and celebrating YOU've been doing, I've really got to do SOMETHING:  run/walk/crawl a few miles for goodness sake!  :-) 

So this morning I turned my M-F 5:00 a.m. alarm on my phone to the "ON" mode, and set out my clothes for tomorrow morning's first early workout in about a month. 

Then

karma

arrived.

Right on Cue. 

Blogger buddy Melissa, over at Life by Melissa, (and the co-creator of the 2010 Pay It Forward 500 Mile Challenge here on the Turtles blog) threw it out there: 

The

31 Miles in 31 Days Challenge

Okay, I know for you die-hard, run-like-your-butt's-on-fire-types, 31 miles in 31 days may not seem like isn't(!) a big deal, but for those of us who *might* be needing a *little* motivation to get focused, THIS will be a great way to commit for a month. (Thank you, Melissa!)

*I*love*reasonable*goals*
(and a swift kick in the ....)

Want in? Don't wait! Ms. Melissa's mileage challenge actually began last week, but you've still got time if you hurry.  Click over, send Melissa an e-mail, and run with us.  :-)  Wow... that sounds nice. Run With Us. The trtl.rnr is in!   

Now, I'm going to see if I can talk some coworkers into taking the challenge, too.... 


happy running, friends....
