Rep Power: 42 | | | Pre Lent Challenge
For those that don't know, Lent is the time that Christians prepare for Easter. Catholics are asked to abstain from meat on Fridays, (fish is allowed) and they are also asked to make some sacrifice to mark the season. Many people will give up something, like chocolate or ice cream. A lot of people use it as a crutch to jump start their failed New Year's Resolutions.
My idea for this challenge is to make a pre lent pledge. It's not for the whole year, it's not religious in any way, it's strictly for the health and weight loss affects.
Lent this year starts on February 25 and goes till April 10th. That's 45 days. My idea is that for the 45 days prior to Lent, which would start January 11th.
So, who's in? |

Rep Power: 42 | | | Hey, Matt, glad to have you on board.
Right now I'm thinking of running 45 miles in the 45 days. We still have some time to finalize it. |

Rep Power: 19 | | I'd love to be in on this, but I will go MIA somewhere around the 18th. If that's okay, then I'm all yours. 
I need to think of what my vow will be . . . |

Rep Power: 42 | | Matt, I think you are right. Val has no staying power. That's why she's only been here two years.
Angela, the challenge is whatever you make it. Checking in or not. So? What's going on on the 18th?  |

Rep Power: 42 | | Hey, JZ, glad to see you here. 
I'm trying to decide between a fitness goal, running 45 miles in the 45 days or 15000 jumps, or a food goal, giving up something sweet or alcohol or such. I haven't decided yet. There are just too many choices.  |
