Fitness Challenge

What: The 100 Mile Fitness Challenge. Typically hosted by Trish, this round is being hosted by Enriched Mom (Allie) and Softdrink (Jill).

When: April 1 — June 30, 2010

The Challenge: “Travel” 100 miles by June 30, 2010. I’m walking. Find more info at 100milefitness.

Since the snow has melted, I’ve started walking outside and enjoying the mild spring season, so I thought this challenge would be a perfect fit!

I’m joining a little late, and I will be happy if I can reach 60 miles by the end instead of the full 100.

I like to catch up on my audiobooks when I’m walking, so I will try to post an update once a week to list the miles I walked and share what I’ve been listening to. Wish me luck!
