Welcome to the February Challenge Event, the Love Your Body Challenge!! For new members, every month we host a challenge to help keep us motivated to reach our goals. We are a very diverse group, many ladies are preparing for spring races and increasing mileage each week, other ladies are beginning their running journey. This challenge is adaptable for everyone, regardless of where you are in your running journey. This challenge is all about loving your body and finding balance!
You will be able to earn points throughout the month by completing various activities. The ladies with the most points at the end of the challenge will be placed in a drawing for a PRIZE! I know you all love PRIZES! Now on to the details!!!
How to earn points...
• GOALS – Post you February fitness/health goal(s) by the end of week 1 and earn 10 points. Goals can be based on mileage/time, strength sessions, increasing daily water intake, improving eating habits, etc. Make sure goals are specific/realistic and don’t be afraid to make goals that scare the $hit out of you.
• CARDIO – Post about your runs…short runs, long runs, group runs, solo runs, fun runs, crappy runs…tell us about it. Share a runfie or picture of your activity tracker. Brag about a PR. Share a special accomplishment or reach out if you are facing a running challenge. Swimming, walking, cycling, rowing, elliptical, etc. also count as cardio. Earn up to 1 point per day (max 29 points per mth).
• STRENGTHENING – Post details or pictures of your strength session. Share your favorite exercises and how strength training has improved your running. Earn up to 1 point per day (max 29 points per mth).
• REJUVENATION – Share what you are doing to facilitate rest, recovery and rejuvenation. Feel free to share a picture of you curled up on the couch, stretching, rolling, etc. Earn up to 1 point per day (max 29 points per mth).
• NOURISH – Did you fuel your body today? Did you consume adequate nutrients/calories? Did you drink enough water? Did you use electrolytes, if necessary? If you were on target, give yourself a point. Earn up to 1 point per day (max 29 points per mth).
• LOVE – At least once per week, set aside some time to show yourself extra love and earn 10 points (max 40 points per mth). Examples include, but are not limited to the following (use your judgment): get a mani/Pedi, get a massage, take a long bath (wine optional), curl up with a good book, meet a friend for some quality time, go on a date, try something new, do something outside of your comfort zone, take yourself on a date, write a gratitude list, do something you enjoy, etc.
So basically, if you share your goal(s) the first week you earn 10 points. Each day you can earn up to 4 points by running, strengthening, rejuvenating and/or nourishing your body. Each week you have an opportunity to earn 10 bonus points for doing something special for yourself!!! The maximum amount of points for the month is 166 points. It is up to you to track your points…be honest with yourself and with us. 😊 You must report your total score by March 5th in order to be eligible for a prize.
PLEASE NOTE daily check-ins are recommended, but NOT REQUIRED! If you are only able to post a few times per week, we get it…life happens! Daily activity points still count for those days as long as you are checking in/posting at least once per week.
Do not want to track points???? No worries...join in the challenge, participate as little or as much as you’d like. We do encourage you to post your monthly mileage goal and report to us regularly on how it’s going. Make the challenge work for you! The most important thing is to remember to run with JOY and LOVE your body!
