Good afternoon everyone!?? Tomorrow is the first day of Spring which means it’s the very first day of SPRING100!! So Excited!! The calendar is freshly finished and ready to print. Parents & older siblings, if you have entered your younger kids/brothers/sisters in this challenge, the Spring100 calendar is a really fun and easy way for them to keep track of their miles. For the rest of us, it’s super helpful too! Everyone in my family used theirs last year. Simply click and print! ?
Printable Spring100 Calendar
MARCH | APRIL | MAY | JUNE
Just a couple of announcements before we officially begin and start tracking miles:
☞ This is also the LAST DAY to enter the 2018 SPRING100. So, if you have been putting off signing up, TODAY is the day to enter! I will include the form in the button of this post. I am SO excited with how many people have signed up for this Challenge! If you are a first time Spring100 participant welcome and for those who are doing their second year, WELCOME BACK!!
☞This is also the very first 100MileMonday post! These past are where YOU get involved!! Each week I will be posting on Monday featuring photos of spring100ers(YOU) enjoying their walks/runs(y’all can view last year’s Spring100 posts to get an idea of hour it goes). Send your weekly photos to Spring100@ShilohPhotography.com! I will also ask a simple but fun question each week for you all to answer and interact with other Spring100 walkers/runners. This is a fun online community that can be used to encourage others! So, don’t be a closet-Spring100er? and make sure to get involved!
☞ And last but definitely not least, this Spring100 is created and continued to encourage you all in your spiritual walk. We are physically walking a 100 miles over the Spring season but we are called to daily run with endurance the race of life! This can be done as we set our gaze on Jesus Christ. Have fun, be encouraged, and seek to encourage brothers & sisters in Christ who are joining us in this fun and energizing challenge!
QUESTION: Take a moment now to leave a comment below introducing yourself to all the Spring100! Leave a little “Hello” and if you feel adventurous let us know what state you are walking the Spring100 in. Can’t wait, Spring100 starts tomorrow!!
Bethany G.
Oh, I’m SO excited!!! I’m walking the Spring 100 in Texas for the second time (and wherever else I happen to travel to this spring ☺). I’m going to use the calendar this year. I had some mixups of miles last year. ? Thanks for sharing it, and I can’t wait to start tomorrow! ??
Micah J
Bethany, I LOVED using the calendar last year! I am sure you will too! I’m a paper and pen kind of person, so having a visual of progress was fun and motivating. It definitely helped cut out a lot of confusion in counting mileage too. There is even enough space on the calendar to doodle and fill in special events and favorite Scripture verses day by day. ?☺️? Lamentations 3:21-23
Rachel
??Weeeellllcome back Bethany!! You were such an encouragement last year and I am so so thankful to have you back!! ? Yes, definitely use the calendar if you can. It always helps out tremendously to have my miles written down and can be used for multiple purposes like Micah said! ?
I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.-Ps 119:16
