It all started 6 months ago when our group of fitness-minded Stroller Striders, were challenged by the folks at Coach's Oats, a health focused company in our community, to get out and get moving. Cover 200 miles in 240 days. The task seemed daunting, but broken into small steps any goal can be acheived.
We are now 9 days away from our 240 day deadline and 9 women have pushed themselves to complete the task. These proud mamas literally took the steps needed and applied the time and energy to walk every day. Many even used the challenge as a spark and started running. Two completed marathons since we began the "Coach's Oats Go the Distance Challenge" and four others a half marathon. Running wasn't necessary to get the job done however. One mother found out she was pregnant midway through the alloted time and was still able to reach the 200 mile goal well before the 240 day deadline by simply walking and attending Stroller Strides classes on a regular basis.
All the women who stayed dedicated and active enough to reach the 200 mile goal are shining examples of health and committment.
