It’s time!! February will be the 2nd annual Blogger’s Healthy Heart Weekend!
If you want to see last year’s results, click here.
On this weekend, do some kind of activity on 1 of the 3 days of Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. You don’t have to have a blog in order to join, either.
Like last year, I just want this to be a focus on getting healthy. If you want to walk, that’s fine. Elliptical bunny? Knock yourself out! Take a long bike ride? Go for it! The only stipulation is that you need to take a picture of yourself before, during, or after your event and send it to me. I will post the pictures here. Get creative, too! You don’t have to have your face in the photo if you don’t want to, so have fun with it!
Date: Just before Valentine’s, of course! February 10th, 11th, and 12th! Feel free to chose Friday, Saturday, or Sunday to complete your event.
Distance: Your choice. I know many of you are training for an event, so you can use whatever distance fits in with your training plan. It’s all about a healthy heart, not a specific distance or time.
After you complete your event, please email me the photo and what you did at javaqueen01 (at) yahoo.com .
Please post below if you would like to participate and what you plan to do! Feel free to post about it on your blog if you have one and see how many people we can get to participate! You may grab the logo above and link as well. Last year we had 50 sign ups, but only 36 actually did it. Let’s get at least that many this year!
I will be giving away some prizes, too. I just have to think of some. You can be from wherever in the world since I am the one sending – you don’t have to just live in the US.!
I know 1 prize will be some coffee roasted by yours truly. Or some local tea if the person selected doesn’t drink coffee (GASP!!).
I need to come up with a couple other prizes, but I wanted to get this sign up post going.
I’ll start! I will commit to a 15 mile bike ride on the trainer!
I’ll see your 15 and raise you 5:). I better stop because I’m not a gambler and barely know what I just said. Depending on the weather I will bike 20 miles or walk 5 miles. Thanks for doing this. I love these things.
O.k I’ll join in and will do a 5K speed walk :)Not sure what day yet!
I’m in! 3 mile walk for sure” I’ll jog some if I can. :). I was just thinking about that today” so glad you’re doing it again. :).
Roasted coffee…yum.
Sorry…commenting on my iPad and I just realized I was hitting quotes instead of apostrophes up there. Oops. 😛
I really need to have my eyes checked–I thought you committed to a 15 *minute* ride on your trainer. LOL
Anyway, count me in! And I’ll add your button to my sidebar.
Or something else…I’m a mess with this thing. G’nite! I’ll be posting about it this week.
I’m in for at least a 3 mile walk/run.
I am in…it was great to see the results from last year…me in the pool…so cute! 😀
I am going to go wild and exercise Friday, Saturday, Sunday…yoga, bike, and swim!
Oh boy, I’ve been looking forward to this. Originally I was going to sign up to walk a longer distance than last year. But maybe I’ll do something different at the gym. I’ll think about it and let you know soon!
Fun – I can actually do it this year! 🙂 I’m planning on doing a swim on Friday (weather permitting) and a rawk (that’s a run/walk) on Saturday. A 5K for sure. 🙂
Hi Lori, I’m in. I’ll be doing at LEAST one power yoga class that weekend. Hopefully more…. Have a great day!!!
Of course I’m in sweety. I will do 9K (5.6 miles) on Saturday.
I’m in! I’m going to do a 10 000 step walk on one of the days you listed, wearing my pedometer (with my short legs it’s about 5K).
I started reading Lowry’s Giver. Very interesting.
chickenbus I have a fear of commitment.
I will, however, do SOMETHING with my girl 🙂
I’m in too. I will do two hours of non-stop dance dance revolution. Weee!
Of course I am in & was last year too!!! I do my outside run on Sunday so that will work for me! Thx Lori!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will be walking my 3 mile route for sure. If the weather is decent maybe I can get hubby to go for a hike!
I’m in! And I’ll be running, what else? Not sure how long or which days yet though. Although it sort of depresses me that I ran 10 miles last year… wonder if I can work my way back up to that by then?
I vote you put those mini chocolate mint cups in again. In fact, I’d like to win both those and your coffee 😀
I’m in! My husband and I decided we will do something together …most likely either a hike or bike ride (depending on weather)!
I will walk/run 5 miles!
I am in!! If nothing else than a chance to win your roasted coffee! 😀 I’ll link to it tomorrow. 😀
Count me in, I will be working on my punching bag for 60 minutes (usually I dont do more than 10 minutes/day)

I will commit to walk/run my first ever 5k, unless you consider all the walking around Disney parks on vacations. Wish I was going there instead….
IM in!!! Ill run a 10K.
I don’t know what I’ll be doing, but it will be something of the run, bike, or swim variety…maybe a little of each, depending on the weather! Thanks for hosting this again, Lori!

Count me in again. 10K bike ride 🙂
Sounds great! Count me in for a 3-mile run.
I’ll join you! My long run is usually on Saturdays, hopefully 9 miles?!?
Please count me in. I just posted I’m going to do a 5K in the snow in a better time then I did today for my first time in the snow.
Thanks for the terrific challenge.
Blessings.
Have a great vacation!
I’m almost done with my first challenge (Sugar-free in January) and I kinda like this challenge deal. Weather permitting, I’ll go for a ride or 5 mile walk.
I’m in… I will commit to walking two miles each day (Friday Saturday and Sunday) 😀 So a 6 mile weekend!

I plan on walking for an hour…..probably split up into two half-hour walks on one day of the weekend. I also plan on doing my hour-long water fitness class on Friday.
I am going to run Friday and Sunday and probably do yoga on Saturday. Thanks for planning this!
I’m in!! I will walk Sat. and Sunday. I will walk 2 miles on each day, for a total of 4 miles! I love your blog!!!

Count me in! I will run my own 5K on Saturday and my goal is to do it in under 30 minutes. This is a really inspiring challenge.
