“…let us run with patience the race that is set before us,  Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:1-3

We are just 3 days away from the 3rd annual SPRING100! That is so exciting!! Guys & gals from across the globe- from Washington to Massachusetts to France to Mexican and back again! 🙂 Old and young alike, ages 4-80some! From the younger crowds to new and older moms + fathers, older brothers + sisters, single ladies and gentlemen, and grandmothers + grandfather. And yes, I even a pet sheep attempted to enter! 😉 There is still time to enter and I will post the sign-up form below AND TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS TO JOIN!??? NOW It’s time to answer some frequently asked questions regarding the Spring100. PLEASE, if you have any questions at all, leave a comment below or send an email to Spring100@shilohphotography!

Qestion: When is the first Spring100 day/post?? And when can I start counting miles??
Answer: Spring100 starts the first day of Spring(March 20th)! Each Monday we will have the Spring100 post called the 100MileMonday shared right here on the blog but since Spring started on Wednesday this year, we will have an Spring100 Opening Day post on Wednesday and then get into our 100MileMonday posting next Monday! Start logging your miles on Wednesday, March 20th!!

QUESTION: How do I make sure I get a Spring100 shirt?
ANSWER: To qualify for a Spring100 shirt we are going to need you to check in weekly and log your miles! Each Monday[100mileMonday posts!] there will be a simple log to fill in the number of miles walked that week. If you miss a week, not a problem! Just make up for the missed miles in the weeks to come!  I will tally up each participant’s mileage at the very end of Spring100 and if your end goal of 100 miles has been met, you’ll get your shirt!

QUESTION: Do I have to walk 1.1 miles ever day or can I walk 2.5 miles 3 times a week or run a few miles twice a week?
ANSWER: You can pace yourself however you want. We are just looking for that end goal of 100 miles by June 21st. So for instance, my sister doesn’t have the time to walk every day but she will walk 3.5 miles a few times a week! Others I know are training for a marathon and will be doing a 10 mile run once a week and count that as their Spring100 mileage. For some, due to new babies or spring vacations, you will be on a week and off a week here and there. So, take the walk at your own pace just as long as you make your miles total a 100  by the end of Spring100!

QUESTION: Where does the walk take place? Do we meet somewhere?
ANSWER: The walk takes place wherever you make it. 🙂 Since we have entries from across the world, this is not a group walk where we meet at a specific location. For me, I will be walking my drive-way or back pasture. If I am traveling, I will take advantage of the hotel exercise room. For other of you who have joined, you are using your treadmill, the local track, at a park, or around town. Some very blessed participants will be walking the beach! 😀 The Spring100 challenge is wherever you make it! 🙂

QUESTION: How will you know we have completed the 100 miles and aren’t just lying about the miles we walk?
ANSWER: This has been big question for some of you. My answer is simple! I am going to take you at your word! I am going to trust you all are convicted to only log the miles you have done and will be honest with me. So, your honesty is between you and the Lord! Remember, “A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.” Prov 11:1

QUESTION: Any tips for tracking miles?
ANSWER: If you have a smartphone, I like a free app called RunKeeper! There are several apps available for mile-tracking. If you don’t have an app or phone, we have used several fun ways to track the distance we have walked before. Using the mile gauge on your car is one way. Also, google maps will tell you the distance. And you can always do it the good old-fashioned way, 5280 feet=1 mile. 😉 Get creative if you don’t have a smart phone or  digital tracking device and let us know how you do it!

P.S. We will have the annual printable SPRING100 Calendar that you can print off and jot down your miles every day(this is great for the younger crowd!)

QUESTION: How are the shirt sizes running?
ANSWER: From what I can tell, right on! I usually wear a small but am up-sizing to a Medium for these shirts just because I like a looser fitting exercise shirt and the shirts are 100% cotton meaning they may shrink. But they seem to be very accurately sized!

QUESTION:Can I count everyday activities as a part of my mileage. Like making dinner or walking to the bathroom? 😉
ANSWER: No, this challenge is for an addition and intentional walk apart from daily activities like bathroom breaks or walking to grab another dish of icecream! 😉

??‍♀️Now it’s time for you to leave your Spring100 questions in the comment section below!! Whatever you are wondering, many other 2019 Spring100 participants probably have the same exact question!

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.”
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
