Year end fitness challenge!

Dec 12, 2010 12:08

I went out for a run this morning in the Seattle rain, and realized that I, and probably many others, need fitness motivation between now and the end of the year. So here's the deal:

I will donate $2 to the American Diabetes Association for every mile that you or I run. And just so I'm not chintzy to the non-runners out there, I'll also give $2 for every 100 calories burned in a fitness related activity. Or $2 for every 2 Weight Watchers activity points. Count it however you feel like.

Details:
  1. Respond either here or on the facebook note, I'll try to aggregate every few days.
  2. Offer started at 12:00am on 12/12/10, feel free to post anything from today.
  3. Offer ends at 9am PST on 12/31/10. I need time for a final tally and to make the donation. However, if you intend to do something later that day, post it anyways and I'll credit it.
  4. Offer has no dollar limit. Dollar amount was chosen based on what it would take to incentivize me to go run in the rain.
  5. Offer limited to my facebook and livejournal friends list.
  6. The charity was chosen as a reminder of one of the many reasons why I lost weight and why I try to stay fit.
  7. Matchers welcome!
