Thoughts:
This challenge was just what I needed to get back into the routine of Running. I had let the excuses NOT TO take over my life. This month I realized that I can fit in a mile or workout every day, all it takes is the energy to GO. To get up, get dressed and GO.. I LOVE my rest days and I am most likely going to end this STREAK very soon for that reason.
Today I celebrate a Small Goal that I did just for me, to re-light the SPARK that had gone out.... I still dont know what my Running Goals are for 2012, but this STREAK helped bring back the excitement of working toward and reaching my goals..

Congratulations!!! That is amazing,especially with the holidays!! Happy New Year!
Congrats on 100 miles, thats awesome! I finished your challenge with 71 miles for the month of December!
Great job! I may steal your idea for January. Last year my January mileage was horrendous and your challenge may just be what I need. I also want to attempt your 1,000 miles in 2012 and this goal would also help. Have a great new year's eve.
I was able to get 117 miles in Dec. The weather has been pretty nice here, so I have gotten out alot more than last year. I'm excited for 2012 because I just signed up today for my 3rd Marathon.YAHOO.
I didn't even TRY the December challenge, but I really appreciate the inspiration that you provide.
Happy New Year!
I was able to step it up and hit 1000 miles in 2012 and finish with an outdoor snow/ice 5k with my brothers :)
Way to go, Mel. It was great to just prove you could do it.
Congrats Mel!! That's awesome!! :) I'm glad it was just what you needed to get back into the swing of things! :)
Nice job on the accomplishment! Not a day off~intense! I did the 100 miles from Thanksgiving to Christmas challenge. It was fun fun.
Congratulations! That is amazing. I may try this for January. You are a inspiration.:)
That is great! I completed my backup goal of 800 last night at 10, so my goal for 2012 is to actually complete 1,000 this year! Happy running to you!!
I love this goal! Very inspiring! Congratulations on making it!
Well, as I shared, your challenge sparked my fire as well. I didn't get a mile a day done, but I did start running again , which energized me enough to make a plan and set some goals for 2012. So....thanks, and congrats on successfully accomplishing your mile a day goal!
I completed the challenge too, and was amazed how good I felt! I ran 159 miles in December, and haven't taken a day off since November 26th and feel AMAZING! I'm keeping the streak going through Tuesday, then I'll be off for a few weeks. :)
congrats, Mel! and great challenege!
I barely made it to 1,000 (I think I hit 1005) but I met the challenge!
