| The Virtual Route |
I found the
Amerithon Challenge on Facebook yesterday while looking at my feed. It popped up as a suggested link and I checked it out. It is quite a challenge. You can complete it on your own or with a team of up to eight. I may have some friends hop in along the way but, for now, I am going solo. I set my start date as July 1st and logged my running and steps (walking) for the past four days. I am already at 17.88 miles and well on my way to earning the first virtual badge along the way at 25 miles. This should be fun and I am definitely looking forward to completing it!

| The Get It All Package |
I ordered the Get It All package, which gives you the shirt, map, passport, finishing medal frame, and the pieces for completing each step of the challenge. I am thinking about wearing the shirt for all of the races I participate in, just to show that I am running the race as part of a much larger goal. However, I will have to see how it fits. I ordered the XL size and typically do not like baggy shirts for running, as they rub too much. If it fits alright, then I may just have to show off my goal at each race. I guess we will see!

| The First Badge! |
This challenge is going to take me a while. It is an investment in making myself better. I ran 246 miles last year and am at 105 miles so far for 2019. So, I have quite a ways to go. However, if I run and walk every day, the small chips will build up to the big, overall goal. And, that's what it is really all about!
