How's it going?
We are one month into the new year and about two months into the Colorado Peaks Challenge! 23 individuals have reached the goal of 645.25 miles! That's awesome! We also have 35 teams across the finish line. That's a huge jump in finishers from the last month! If you have not finished yet, we are cheering for you! You have plenty of time! Keep moving! Keep getting out there! You got this!
MOTIVATION TIPS
Let me tell you a story of motivation. I just finished 30 days in a row of yoga. For the past three or four years, I've tried to complete 30 days of yoga for the month of January and every year before this I've failed. I either skipped some days, making them up later or decided halfway through I just didn't have the time. This year, I finished. I didn't miss a day, I didn't quit halfway through. What changed? I did two things differently. 1) I DIDN'T post it to social media! and 2) I promised myself a yoga mat if I could make it through the 30 days without skipping a day.
I'm not saying these "tricks" will work for you but what I am getting at is, that it sometimes takes a few times and trials to figure you WHAT will motivate you. For me, not having the pressure of social media helped me (along with a little incentive to replace my torn up, dirty yoga mat). For others, having an accountabili-buddy to check in with them regularly helps them reach their goal. Or maybe just registering for a race (virtual or not) helps keep you in-check to reach your goal.
Don't give up on your goals, just pivot, and try a new approach!
FACEBOOK TOPIC OF THE WEEK
We're taking the same topic of motivation to Facebook! Head on over and tell us what helps you reach the finish line!
BINGO CHALLENGE
We have a winner! From everyone that got a Bingo in January, I drew one winner, and Sharon D. won!
Here's your February Bingo/Scavenger hunt challenge!
For every bingo completed (getting a row, column, or diagonal) you'll have one entry into the raffle. If you complete the WHOLE board, that would be 10 raffle entries. You must EMAIL me (whitney@3wraces.com) with the Bingos!
And with that, I'm wishing you some extra motivation to carry you through February!
