Tabbycat, I think this is a great goal! I'm slowly working my way to attempt a long mileage (for me at least) running goal, but I'm not quite there yet. Doing a combination mileage goal seems to be the next best thing for me.

Good luck with the May challenge!

i am in for this challenge!

i will count hours, and i will aim for 20 hours

my goal is to start running again, so i will aim for 3 times a week, starting at 2km on day one, and seeing progress each time even if it is 100 meters.

goal number two is stupid but... GO TO THE GYM! 3 times a week would be great. is the last month i have my membership, it's stupid not to use it!

Hi, everyone!
So, April turned out to be a total fail after the wedding happened (wedding = win, exercise vacation = FAIL). Let's try again, shall we?

My goal is to do kettlebell workouts for at 320 minutes this month in honor of my 32nd birthday. I'll do other wrokouts, but for getting back on track, I'm setting my stated goal modestly.

Best wishes, everyone!

Looks like some great goals! I'll compile a list tomorrow -- there's still time to sign up so your goal can be on the initial list!

I'm off to a good start! I'm about to head out to do more squats, lunges, lifts, and pulls in my yard.

1: 60 min gardening; 60/1000

I'm a little late to the party, but would like to join the exercise challenge this month. My goal is pretty modest - I want to go for a run 10 times this month. I'll track my mileage/speed progress too (I'm hoping to see some improvements by the end of the month), but my goal is really to just make the time to run a couple times per week.

First run of the month was this morning!

May 2: 2.5 miles @ 4.2+ mph

1 of 10 runs completed
