I'm in for this month, and I've never done a fitness challenge before. I was doing a really great job keeping up with exercising this month until I got into a car accident and was literally too sore to move for days. Even now that I'm feeling a little better, I haven't been able to muster up the motivation to get to it again. Hopefully this accountability will give me the kick in the butt that I obviously need. Since it's my first challenge, I'm going to start with a 1000 minute goal for this month.
