Ok all you mere mortals, time to HTHU (harden the heck up!) as we enter the final week of our challenge. Including today, you’ve got one week to get out there and “git ‘er done!” A few folks are at the finish line, or very nearly so, but some of you are going to have to find some afterburners to kick it in this last week in order to meet either the session requirement, time requirement, or both. Don’t give up and be satisfied with “I almost made it.” With a little extra effort you can put this well within your reach. We ALL know how to rationalize failure – “I couldn’t find the time;” “I’ve been busy at work;” “we’ve had some crappy weather…” Trust me, we’ve heard and used ‘em all ourselves. With a little extra gumption and “stick-to-itiveness” you can find the time and energy for your final push to put you over the top. You would not have signed up to do this if you did NOT want to accomplish something, so we would love it if everyone gave it that last kick to the finish line.
That said – a word of caution: we don’t want to see anyone injured, so you should stick to activities and durations that your body can handle. If you’ve been running, then don’t all-of-a-sudden double your weekly running mileage to do this. You greatly increase your risk of pulling or tearing something. On the other hand, you could consider walking as a viable alternative to get in that extra time/session you need.
Instead of t-shirts, we’re working on a sock design to commemorate the event and reward your efforts. We’re hoping to keep the cost very low (under $10) so everyone will be tempted to pat themselves on the back with something fun, and while understated compared to a t-shirt, it will at least remind you that you can achieve a goal when you set your sights on it, make a plan, and go for it. More to follow on the socks. In the meantime, keep swimming, biking, running, hiking, lifting, playing…
Your friendly MMT staff
