WEEK 6 MILEAGE FORM

…………………………

“I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.”
Psalm 119:32

Well, half way through Spring100 is almost unbelievable for me!! This has been a great challenge and I have loved getting to know you all a little better through it. ?The next few weeks we have some pretty exciting happenings planned for our 100MileMonday posts(including a give-away?), so be ready!! How was week 6 for you all? Spring100ers have enjoyed a variety of walking conditions this past week and it’s been so fun to see. From sunny warm river walks to snow-covered ground❄️[how’s that for a Spring day?!] If y’all are using the Spring100 Calendar, Ps 119:32 is the verse of the week. Honestly, whenever I read this verse, it makes my heart swell! We can run swiftly in His commandments because He “enlarges” our hearts. “God, by His Spirit, enlarges the hearts of His people when he gives them wisdom”[MHC] and we are told in James 1:5 that “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” How exciting is that truth?! I am reminded of Psalm 119:18 where the Psalmist says, “Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law.”  This would be a wonderful prayer for week 7 of the Spring100. May we seek the Lord diligently through His Word and pray that He would give us wisdom [enlarged hearts] to run [not just walk but RUN] swiftly in His commandments!! ?  Praying for you all!

 ??2 questions for this week!! ?? 1.) Since we are exactly half way through, what’s been your favorite thing about the Spring 100 challenge so far? 2.) What is YOUR FAVORITE after walk/run treat( chocolate, fruit, cheeseburger??, NAP?, etc.)?? Comment below answering one or both questions!↓↓  Can’t wait to hear your answers!!

Hebrews 12:1-2

WEEK 5 MILEAGE FORM

How was week 5 for YOU?? We had “winter-ish” weather come back for a coupe days here in my area and it was really refreshing to walk/run in the crisp-cool air!

WEEK 4 MILEAGE FORM

…………………………

NEED A SPRING100 Calendar? Print off HERE!

^“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.  And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.”
1 Corinthians 9:24-25

How was week 4 of the Spring100 for y’all?? ? I hope you are finding it edifying, energizing, and encouraging. I had a super rainy week here BUT God allowed for just enough dry weather to get my daily walking goals in!! This week I have been super blessed as I meditate on 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 during my walks/runs.  We are called to run this spiritual race to win! Our prize? The incorruptible crown! This does not mean we earn our salvation  or that it is won by the way we ourselves run. If so, I would be desperately hopeless! You see, in Isaiah we are told that our works or “all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags” and in Romans 9:1 it says, “So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.” Salvation is a free gift of God and righteousness is found in the shed blood of Jesus Christ[2 Cor 5:21]! We are saved by grace[Eph 2:8-10»Rom 3:24»Acts 15:11], “our sufficiency is of God”[2 Cor 3:5] and this race we run, we run by HIS strength 🙂. “The race of life is not a field for demonstrating the force of our will to make good choices. It’s a field for showing how the beauty of Christ takes us captive and constrains us to choose and run for HIS glory. The race of life has eternal consequences not because grace is nullified by the way we run, but because grace is verified by the way we run.” The way we run this race will prove whose strength we are running in and who has taken us captive. If we are trusting in ourselves or our own good works to get us to heaven[Rom 3:10»Is 64:6»Ps 130:3], we will have no endurance and completely fail the race…. We will fall drastically short of the finish line[Rom 3:23]. But if we have come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and found in Him our strength to run, we will run to win. Christ -in His great mercy and grace- enables us to run with endurance and finish the race set before us! 🙂 Random thought for week 5. Look steadfastly to Jesus and trust HIM to sufficiently provide the strength needed to run the race set before you with endurance! He is faithful. ❤️ I will be praying for you all this new week of the SPRING100! Have fun!!

“ It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places.”
Psalm 18:32-33

??2 questions for this week!! ?? 1.) What would your dream location be to walk? The Grande Canyon, farmland of Ireland, ???  2.)  What’s your favorite part about your walks? (beautiful scenery, fresh air, etc.?) Comment below answering one or both questions! Happy walking/running for week 5.

??Remember!! The SPRING100 is a community and we want to hear from YOU! The best way to get involved and encourage fellow Spring100ers is by weekly sending in photos to of yourself during your walks and commenting below!  Spring100@shilohPhotography.com!

Lydia’s not letting the rain stop her! She’s walking in the rain for week 4. Way to go!!??

LOVE having Katelyn join us!! And how ADORABLE are her little girls???!! Keep up the fantastic work, Katelyn! ?

Walking parties are a common sight at our house now! 🙂 Always a fun group to do the Spring100 with!! Lydia, Bekah, + Abel are working hard and a Grace helped create what looks like the Eiffel tower during their Spring100.???

So happy to have Mrs E. part of the Spring100!! She’s enjoy the track and Sarah is getting a run in downtown! Both are looking lovely. Way to go ladies!!??

I found myself in good company during my evening walk! Followed by a flock of excited ducks who hoped I would feed them a bit of the chicken’s corn. Wonder if we can get some Spring100 duck shirts made….. ??

Sarah’s dedicated in Kansas and Katelyn blessed me with this fun picture! Enjoy sister time during their Spring100 walk. Lovely!!?

Ruth + Emmi make a great walking team! Love Ruth’s dedication. ?

Joel’s been keeping on track with his Spring100 miles even with a busy traveling schedule! Way to go Joel! ????

^“Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.”
Proverbs 4:25-26

“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
Psalm 1:1-3

WEEK 3 MILEAGE FORM

Well, week 3 was EXTREMELY special for me!! ? My sweet Kansas friend who has also joined the SPRING100 blessed me with a visit and (yes!) we walked our daily miles together. ?? It was such a fun encouragement! MORE on that visit will be blogged by Wednesday[Lord willing!] so definitely check back!! 🙂  How was week 3 of the SPRING100 for you all?

Well, by the grace of God, we have made it to week 2 of the SPRING100!!?  Y’all are going to have to make it through all the Spring100 formalities to get to the 100MileMonday fun at the bottom of this post. ? It’s been a beautiful week here in South-central Texas and I have been so blessed & encouraged by everyone who has joined this challenge. Seeing you all dedicating yourselves to the Spring100 is exciting!! I have been and will praying for each of you during this Challenge. It’s my hope and prayer that this will not just be a fun physical activity[although it is!!] but also a spiritual encouragement for the glory of God as we set our eyes on Jesus Christ[Heb 12:1-3]! And today is the day you get to log your miles  from week 1! There is a super-easy form to fill out below. Please be sure to add up the miles walked/ran for WEEK 1 [last week, March 20-26th] and submit them here! For those who are currently traveling, sick, or recovering from baby 😉 and are planning on starting the Spring100 when the Lord allows, just enter 0 until you actually begin the Spring100!

WEEK 1 MILEAGE FORM

…………………………

Okay… did you log those miles? ?Good, we can move on!!?

1 Spring100 notice: ☞I was asked by several Spring100 participants how they should keep track of their daily miles and some have requested some type of chart! So, I have created the Spring100 calendar. ☺ It’s pretty self-explanatory! If you’re needing an easy way to keep track of the miles walked in a day/week in between submitting them here, print the below calendars and have fun! I have also chosen a verse each new week that has blessed me over the past week and I hope the verses chosen will encourage and bless you each week as you meditate on them during your walk/run. 🙂 You could even set your mind and heart on memorizing the verses during your walk/run.  I have my Spring100 calendar printed and I’ve started filling it in!

Spring100 Printable Calendar Download
March || April || May || June

Note: I am very new at creating pdf files… so if you have any trouble at all printing, just leave a comment below and let me know!

I chose Is 40:31 for this week’s verse! “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” I found myself downright physically exhausted last week and instantly Isaiah 40:31 came to mind! It made me think of the spiritual race we are running. This spiritual race can only be run with endurance when we find our strength in Christ [Ps 28:7]! “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength”. To wait means 1.) to remain in a state in which you expect [Ps 62:5]or hope[Jer 17:7] and 2.) to serve[Ps 100:2], to attend as a servant. So, as we run the race set before us, where is our hope and who are we serving? Ultimately, who are we running for? 🙂 As we run for, Hope in, and serve the Lord, He will renew our strength! We will “run and not grow weary”. That is a promise! ?

2 QUESTIONS!! ? How did week 1 of the SPRING100 go for you?? Where was your favorite walking location for week 1?  I would love to have each of you answer 1 or both questions in the comment section ↓below↓!!

And now it’s time for the Week1 100MileMonday Photo Round-up!! To all who submitted photos, THANK YOU! There are still quite a few who haven’t submitted photos and joined in the fun. To those who haven’t submitted a fun walking/running photo, don’t forget to for next week’s 100MileMonday post. Simply email to: Spring100@shilohPhotography.com

Joseph is one of our youngest Spring100 participants. Loved receiving his photos this week! ?

Faith L. joined in the Spring100 fun! Neighborhood walks with siblings are such fun. 🙂 Way to go Faith!?

Love this creativity! Nathanael has challenged himself by carrying a weighted backpack for his daily walks/runs!!

Leah blessed me by joining and sending in these fantastic photos. Love how Leah got her family to join her for a Spring100 walk!?

Since we have young girls in our family, we have been pairing up during our walks to ensure safety and goal accomplishment. Emmi & Bakah are doing a fantastic job!

2 different states,  2 completely different walking views, 2 gorgeous smiles! Sarah B. sends a “Hello” from rural Kansas while Hope L. is enjoying her Spring100 walk through her neighborhood! Looking good ladies. ?

Melanie T. is enjoyed a brisk Ohio walk for Spring 100 week 1 ❄️while Micah took in a little spring sun for her Spring100 down here in Texas! ☀️ Way to go ladies!!

Ruth’s been super dedicated and I am loving her energy! Joel + Nathanael decided to enjoy a walk to town for their Spring100. Keep up the fantastic work!!

“And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”
Col 3:17

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.

Spring100 Sign-up form

Spring100 registration CLOSED

“I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.”
Psalm 16:8

“…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

Y’all! The SPRING100 starts tomorrow!! I am so excited and completely blown away by the number of entries received. So many more than I expected!! Guys & gals from across the globe- from Ohio to France to Mexican and back again! 🙂 Old and young alike, ages 8-60some! From the younger crowds to new moms, older brothers, and  grandmothers. And yes, I even a dog attempt to enter! 😉 There is still time to enter and I will post the sign-up form below. 🙂 I have received a lot of questions and, with the help of Grace, I am hoping to answer as many as possible on this post! Lets get started….

QUESTION: When is the deadline to sign up?
Answer: Tomorrow night, March 20th at 11:59(cst), will be the SPRING100 sign-up deadline! So, DON’T WAIT to sign up and share with friends and family!! Post the Original post[found here] to Facebook or blog about it so your friends can join you before it’s too late. 🙂  I will include the form at the bottom of this post!

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:  When will I get my shirts ?
Answer: Shirts will be sent out at the completion of the Spring100 challenge(June 20TH). So, if you complete the Spring100, I will send you an email requesting your shipping address and you should have your shirts the first week of July!

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 Grace 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 long drive-way or down the a local park. 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!

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! 😉

QUESTION:Can my dog enter?
ANSWER: Sure thing but they will not receive a Spring100 shirt, collar, or leash. 😉

QUESTION: Can I get a free pair of Spring100 swimming trunks or maybe a muscle shirt instead?
ANSWER: yes, this was a serious question that I have received with a serious answer. NO! 😉 The shirt style you see on the first post is what you get!

QUESTION: How many pictures can I send in a week? Or do I have to send in photos?
ANSWER: Submitting photos is not necessary to enter the Spring100 but so fun and will be a great way for all Spring100 participants to meet and interact each week! Send as many photos as you get and want to share!! I want them all. Each Monday I will be doing a 100mileMonday roundup and use the photos you share the blog! Any type of photos work whether you’re using an iPhone to snap it or a regular camera. 🙂 I will also be including videos in the near future so if you get any fun videos of your walks saying “hello” or giving a Spring100 status update, send them my way!

Last but definitely not least

QUESTION: Why in the world are you doing this challenge and offering free shirts?
ANSWER: This will be an exciting challenge that will keep us physically active and allow a fun walking/running  “community” here on my blog for Spring 2017 but my ultimate goal is to encourage each one of you to set your eyes on Jesus as you are daily running a spiritual race[Heb 12:1-3]. This life is a race that we are called to run with endurance and we are told to run to win[1 Cor 9:24]. This is only possible if we have steadfastly set our eyes on our Savior and find our strength in Him! So, the next few months it will be my goal to encourage you all in Christ and you all can encourage each other by commenting on and participating in the 100MileMonday posts!

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and 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 12:1-2

What: Spring100 [details below]

Who is ready for a challenge?! ☺️ The FIRST EVER  Spring100 starts in just 1 week. ????The Spring 100 is made up of a big but simple goal: to walk[or run!!] 100 miles from March 20th through June 21st[SPRING!]. Y’all, I am pretty excited about this challenge [walking is my favorite!!] and I hope you will join those of us who have already committed to the Spring100! This 100 mile goal breaks down to a simple 1.1 miles a day!! ????????Pretty doable, don’t you think?

The Spring100 is a challenge that I hope will remind you that we are participants in a spiritual race. And the beautiful news?! This is a race in which we are never forsaken and do not run alone. The ultimate race with a triumphant forerunner, Jesus Christ our Lord. This life is a race to be run with endurance and can be as we set our eyes on HIM! Hebrews 12:1-3
