Welcome to Fitness Friday!
For new participants click [here] for details and to grab the FF button.
Two things this week. First, remember my quest to qualify as one of the Dirty Dozen in the Dirt Days Trail Race series? I found out yesterday that I did! Not only did I qualify, I'm #10 of the dozen!
Second. My Twelve In Twenty Twelve race calendar is complete. Obviously more than 12 half mary options primarily due to winter weather concerns and traveling but also due to life just happens.

This is simply a guide. A place to start. And always subject to change. Between now and January 1, 2012 I will add a marathon, decide if I'm running the trail race series again and hopefully add a Ragnar relay.
I'm happy to announce Twelve In Twenty-Twelve has teamed up with iFitness. They're generously willing to sponsor up to 12 runners to take on the 2012 challenge. They've been great to work with over the past month and I'm sure next year will be no different.
Who is willing to take on this challenge? Join me in 2012! Email me for details at jillconyers@gmail.com.
Happy Friday!

Very impressive! I need to sit down this weekend and make a plan. I want to get back into running more consistently, I've done a few 5k's but maybe try to stick to a running plan to do a half marathon by next Oct. Thanks for the blog hop!

I've been hoping the same thing Julia! We will meet in 2012...that didn't sound to stalkerish did it?
Posted by: jillconyers | November 04, 2011 at 05:11 PM
Thank you Vicki. Part of the fun of all that I do is motivating others.
Are you sure I can't tempt you to run 12 in 2012 ;)
