100 Mile Fitness Challenge

The 100 Mile Fitness Challenge!! I literally just read about this today and have decided to join up because I really need to start some sort of exercise regimen. I have been walking a bit in the mornings, but I think this will help motivate me to keep on walking and stop sleeping in! Trish at http://100milefitness.blogspot.com/ is hosting this challenge. Here are the details: The goal for the challenge is to exercise for "100 miles" in three months.

Here’s how it works:
In order to complete this Challenge, you will need to “travel” 100 miles from October 1st through December 31st.

Here's how you calculate your mileage:
*Running or walking 1 mile outside or on a treadmill equals 1 mile.

*15 minutes of other workouts equals 1 mile (elliptical, swimming, weight lifting, workout video, workout classes, etc.).

A few "workout" stipulations:
“Workouts” only include activities specifically done for the purpose of exercise. Shopping, house cleaning, walking to and from the parking lot, and other day to day activities should not be included.

Partial miles travelled on different days cannot be combined. For example, if you run 1.25 miles on one day, and .75 mile on another day, that does not equal 2 miles. It counts as 1 mile.

Minutes accumulated on two different days cannot be combined. For example, if you workout 10 minutes one day and 5 minutes the next day, that does not combine to equal a mile.

1 mile on the bike does not equal 1 mile, etc. Only walking/running is mile for mile. Otherwise it would be too easy, huh?

So, those are the details and any questions you may have can be answered at 100 Mile Fitness Challenge!
