Your Personal Juneathon


June is here and this months challenge comes to us from Chris Cullen (aka stroller boy)

Last year Richard Page (Jogger Blogger) turned some of us on to Juneathon. Junethon is a challenge is which all who participate agree to put in some type of mileage every day of the month. Now trying to get miles in every day can be quite a challenge, so the idea for the month is to personalize your own Juneathon by setting your own weekly goals. Chris made a couple of suggestions to go along with this idea.

1. Post a chart on the event blog on which to place your name and your weekly goal for each week of June. You can have a different goal each week. I will update the chart as you leave comments either on the blog or directly emailed to me.

2. If possible mix one of your days up with an alternate exercise such as biking or an elliptical. Swimming laps is an elective too. If choosing swimming your goal should include mileage plus the laps you want to achieve.

This challenge puts the power into your own hands (or rather feet) this month. If your interested send me an email or leave a comment here on the blog. This will give some visibility to how we each are doing.

  3. I'm going to commit to a 5K (3.12 miles) average per day. Total minimum mileage 93 to 100 miles for the month.

    I'd commit to more, but WDW may throw me off. I'm going to try doing a 5K every morning before we go to breakfast and hit the parks. We'll see how well that works out.

  4. I will just commit to some mileage everyday. That's the best I can give right now. Heat and work are making it difficult right now.

  7. My goal is to increase my mileage so let's say 4 miles for this week, 5 miles for the second week, 6 miles for the third week and 6.5 miles for the 5th week. I already did a 4 mile walk this Monday!
