It's that time of year again. Time to get back into the swing of the academic year and time to find ways to keep pushing to be healthy. This challenge is not a competition challenge, instead it is a way to challenge all of you to push towards phsyical fitness and be a happy and healthy professional. Added to this challenge is a little call to action. This challenge goes from September 9 - Thanksgiving Day. Set a goal to donate to your professional association of choice based upon your miles. You name it - you can do $1/mile, you can give $100 if you hit a benchmark goal, you make the call! Get it - on Thanksgiving Day we can give thanks by giving back. Not only are we healthier, but we can also make our professional associations healthier by helping supply the funds to do the good work that they do.
Once again this is a Nike+ based challenge but that shouldn't limit your ability to be active and to give back. We can use Nike+ as a fun way to see what others are doing, but we also continue to motivate each other using the #SAFit hashtag. YES - I think it's better to just keep it clean and use a standard tag for the overall concept of SA Pros working to be fit. Years, seasons, dates, etc. just muddy it up when this is an ongoing process. For this challenge we can use the add on tag of #gtgb - how about them bag of apples.
To keep it clean we'll go invite only again. It's a bit more work for me, but it keeps all the random competition surfers from muddying up our fun little graphs! Send an email to tbrouillard@pacific.edu or to torrybruce@gmail.com and include the email address attached to your Nike+ account (or email you want to use if you want and invite to Nike+). Yes you will either need the shoe sensor or to use Nike+GPS.
Here is to getting moving, giving thanks and giving back!
Torry!
