30 miles, 30 days starts TODAY! (April 23)

 

It's time to start the 30 Miles, 30 Days Challenge! We hope you are as excited as we are! With participants from 42 states and Canada numbering 2,400 participants, this is our biggest challenge ever!

Logbooks were mailed.

Logbooks were mailed out on Monday 4/19 and some of you may still be waiting for yours. We have an editable PDF of our logbook here for you to download and fill out online. You may use this however you'd like: as a backup, or as your main way of tracking miles. Do whatever works best for you!

If you already got a logbook, hooray! You may have noticed that our logbook has a little quirk in it. Despite our best proofreading efforts, we didn’t spot Day 21 occurring twice. If you look at your logbook, you’ll see Day 21 listed as both 5/13 and 5/14. The good news is that you get an extra walking day! We will still end the challenge on May 23^rd.

For teams: as we average out miles per person and we don’t factor length of time into our equation. Just submit your total miles walked through May 23rd to your team leader.

Week 2 of Sleep Challenge

Welcome to week two!  I hope you are enjoying the week off.  When we have these wonderful weeks I never can decide if I should sleep in and turn off the alarm or keep the routine so I don't lose it.  Regardless of what I choose my two dogs seem to do the opposite. I try to sleep in, they are wide awake and barking at 4:30!

Did you know what you eat and drink before bed can affect your sleep? The connection between food and sleep is complex. You know that what you eat affects your sleep, but did you know that the reverse is also true? Studies now show that people who are sleep deprived tend to eat more fat-rich foods, simple carbohydrates, and fewer vegetables, possibly because sleep loss alters chemical signals connected to metabolism and hunger. In fact, some researchers believe sleep deprivation to be a factor in the rising rates of obesity. Eating and sleeping well are two vital components of health that are tied in surprising ways.

If you have any questions please reach out.  I hope you enjoy the rest of the week!

Sleep Well Challenge (2021)

30-day 'Sleep Well' Challenge April 15 - May 15

Do you find yourself saying, “I’m tired” and yet, not falling asleep well at night?  Is tossing and turning your biggest form of exercise?  You are not alone.  There are many reasons sleep can be disrupted. 

This 30 day Sleep Well challenge is to help change or support your healthy sleep habits and hopefully help get you, or keep you, on track so you wake up feeling ready for a new day. 

This challenge will run from April 15 and run through May 15th. Please sign up by April 9th so I can have your materials ready and get them to you for the start date.

All participants to sign up will receive a sleep tracker and motivational emails each week. The first 25 participants to sign up will also receive a Sleep Well Kit that includes a drawstring bag, one sleep journal, an eye mask & ear plugs, and a lavender lotion.

To earn your 10 PATHpoints you will need to complete a simple survey at the end of the 30 days.  

Please add your name and preferred email address to the list attached. 

You can still participate and earn the points even if you do not get a Sleep Well kit.
