I'm in, I'm in!

This month I'm going for 500 minutes of running, and 1000 minutes of other exercise.
Running is my 21-Day Challenge (start at 10 min and add half a minute each day), which I want to extend for the whole month.

Note: I'm going to revamp this... starting next month, walks do not count towards my 1000 minutes of exercise from now on - it's just too easy, and I walk because I like it, not to get the exercise in.
