Mayor Gavin Newsom challenges you, your family, neighbors, and colleagues to Shape Up with his third annual Shape Up SF Walking Challenge! Starting March 9, 2009 through May 15, 2009 take our 10-week Shape Up San Francisco Walking Challenge and virtually walk the equivalent of the California Coast and beyond!
Each team is encouraged to collectively walk/run 1,016 miles (done!) over the 10 weeks, which is the distance along the California coast. Teams log and track their miles online and can compare their progress against other teams.
Our team is "Save Kezar" and we are sitting in second place with 4721 miles behind "SFMTA Back First" with 6119 miles. Come on, guys, you can't let the people who write parking tickets and MUNI win! There really is no prize, it's just a challenge. But it's also a great way to be responsible about putting in your miles and tracking your own progress.
You can backlog all your miles from March 9th to now. It's also great fun to compare your miles with others in your team.
If you use this link (http://www.shapeupsfwalkingchallenge.org/user/register/67157) you will automatically be put on the Save Kezar team. You’ll need to create a username and password. Then go in and log your exercise miles.
UPDATE: Congratulations to Chikara Omine for 3rd place at the American River 50 Mile on Saturday! http://www.ultrarunning.com/ultra/features/news/bend-runners-win-at-ameri.shtml
He was still able to run a 38 minute 10K on Sunday and do the hilly Urban Run last night! His next major focus this year is the Western States 100 in late June.
