Happy Spring and with the first day of Spring we also have the very first day of the Spring100! ????
The last 24 hours have brought NEW members to the Spring100. ???? Welcome[y’all know who you are ;]!! We are so glad to have you join in the fun! Today is the very first day of Spring100 and I really couldn’t be any more excited!! Our Goal: 100 miles by June 21st… let’s do it! For the first day of this challenge I want to encourage you all to really redeem your walking time by interweaving Scripture into the miles you walk this Spring. One of our fellow Spring100ers let me know this morning that she hoped to be using the walk to work on scripture she memorized last year and really, that is the best idea ever! ☺???? Another will be doing the Spring100 with a sibling and they plan on working on their verse recitation as they walk. ???? For me, my early morning walks are also my time to pray. Usually this walk is the quietest time of my day and using it to meditate on the Lord has been such a blessing. If I decide to run[which doesn’t happen often. I am a running wimp????????], I will listen to Scripture or hymns! We are told that the Word of God is a lamp unto our feet, and a light unto my path[Ps 119:105]. So, as we walk the Spring100 there is really nothing better to meditate on each step of the way! 🙂 Happy First day of Spring & enjoy this challenge!
“Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.”
Ps 119:133
Okay!! This is where y’all get involved! ???? For the first day of the Spring100, I would love for those of you who have joined to leave a an introduction comment below saying “hello”???? to the fellow Spring100 participants and letting us know whether you plan on walking or running or doing a walk/run combo for this challenge.

Anna Naylor
Hey all! Rachel, thank you for this challenge! I’ve been struggling with energy to run lately, so I plan on doing a lot of walking. But I’m sure I’ll do some running/sprinting too. ???? Intervals are my favorite! Thank you again. Praying for each participant, for healing spiritually, mentally and physically! ????????
Rachel
Anna!! I’m so excited and blessed to have you joining in. ❤️☺ Thank you!! Walking is my favorite. I’ll be praying you are given energy for the days ahead!! ✨????
Anna
Thank you, Rachel!!
Sarah
Hello from the hills of Kansas! I’m looking forward to joining you all for this challenge and am planning on running, with short walking intervals. I will do this (cardio) three days a week, with my normal weight workout routine the other three days. I agree with Kandace…does skating count toward it? ???? (It’s good exercise too!?) Excited to join you all!????
Rachel
????????Love having you with us, Sarah! Thanks for joining. ???? Hah, I’ll have to think about whether skating mileage is excluded from the Spring100 or not. ????????
