I may have returned to running with new found enthusiasm, but I still need motivation, especially when it’s cold and I’m tired or hungover during the holidays.
So I’ve joined Amanda’s holiday bootie buster challenge!
hbbc points
1 Point per mile (run/walk/snowshoe)
1 Point per 3 miles biked
1 Point per 30 minutes of weight lifting, Pilates, yoga, stretching or abs
1 Point per 15 minutes of another form of cardio (i.e. kick boxing, aerobics, swimming, elliptical)
1 Per day where you reach a minimum of 7 servings of fruits and veggies
… and since I like challenges and buying myself stuff, I’m adding an extra incentive to my personal pot. If I can hit 138 points then I am spending $100 on moi here.
UPDATE: the first day of the challenge I went to here to see what I would reward myself with. I spent $108 … so really I’ve already rewarded myself … oops. So I am changing it. If I get 150 points then I get to buy this in magenta!

I like the challenge – and yay for a shopping spree!
Is that Amanda? Mmmm. Glad you spent heaps on clothes that suit your super-fit running body.
Um, can I have that booty?! And lululemon is always a fantastic incentive!
i dig on it when you post your self portraits.
nov 23 to jan 8? holy. i’ve got some gnarly long runs planned during that time frame. back-to-back 30’s and multi-day stage runs in death valley. i should sign up.
Just stopping by from the HBBC challenge, great blog! Read your About Me tab too… wow. Awesome to find another local runner/blogger!

This is a great way to stay motivated during the holidays!
