POTM RESAULTS ARE IN

WOW I never knew doing this Challenge would be so FUN and REWARDING! I really started the challenge to get my butt back out there pounding the pavement, and it did! I would never have ran 11 miles on Thanksgiving without all of you hold me accountable and cheering each me on! This Thanksgiving I can say I honestly piled on the MILES and not the POUNDS. Curiosity got the best of me and I stepped on the scale to see if I gained a pound, and I weighed a pound less!! WOOT WOOT! I piled on 45.3 miles which is nothing compared to most of you! But I'am happy with that total because now I am going to kick it up a notch!

I love this comment by Caroline bee I couldn't have said it better myself:

“Everyone ran an INSANE amount! Regardless of who won, every single person challenged themselves, broke personal records, and did what they probably thought they couldn't do before.”

Well with out going on and on here are all the contestants and their total mileage:

Amanda @ Shakin and Siftin : 100.3
Melissa @ Trying to Heal :59.5
