I will be supporting Isaac Leimeister in portions of the Mayhem but won’t be doing all 12
For having not run for sport in the last 8 years, I am marveled on how God’s creation works in our bodies. We can push through pain and continue to get stronger.
I have thankfully completed each day so far.
I feel good that each day I am more motivated, and it has gotten easier for me.
My legs hurt, but my massage gun helps amazingly
I listen to the podcasts and scripture reading daily. It is fantastic to have that with me while I am on my walks. I love doing the daily photos.
I don’t plan on doing the mayhem, as it would take me 2 days to do that. Ya’ll would be way ahead of me. Lol
I have learned that if don’t overthink and just go do this daily it does get easier. This is my new daily healthy prescription.

I have learned to trust myself and that motivation goes a long way. I can do anything I set my mind to.
I’ve kept up with the challenge and feel good. I have no plans to quit! I am not participating in any of the optional challenges. Being active, even something as small as walking 3.1 miles each day, makes me feel better physically and emotionally.

I’ve learned that not everyday is a winning day and feelings come and go but the important thing is to persevere to put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward regardless of whether it is slow or fast. The fruit will come if you keep persevering, in faith and in running.

Surprisingly i’ve made it every day so far!
Im feeling slightly fatigued and it’s sort of taken my mind off of the finals grind
I will finish and kick this things butt
I am participating in the Bible reading challenge, I should probably start on the podcast
I tried to do photos each day and I failed on that
My knees already hate me and them hating me more is not my goal here. No mayhem for me😔
I’ve found it super cool to see that during the days that I walk I can feel Gods presence, and then my 5k becomes a 45min prayer walk which I think has helped my prayer life like nothing else

I listen to the bible occasionally while I walk but have been feeling God wants me to pray instead. So it’s off and on.
I do every photo challenge I can.
I was fully planning on doing Mayhem but not sure my body is going to allow me, but we still have awhile yet so we will see.
I have learned a lot about I am who I am because of my thoughts. And that God is faithful to give us strength one day at a time, we don’t need to look to the future.

Feeling overwhelmed with trying to find time to get a 5k in while working full time, taking care of an infant full time, and after work responsibilities/commitments.
I plan to finish.
Not participating in anything extra.
I really enjoy daily walks, especially with my daughter, but I don’t enjoy doing them in the rain. And I hate the treadmill. I would enjoy it more if it felt more optional, but I also probably would not go as often if I didn’t feel the pressure to complete the challenge.

Have you faithfully run and / or walked at least 3.1 intentional miles every day in May 2024? YES.
Feeling better mentally and physically. Yes, planning to finish the challenge. Not participating regularly in the Bible reading or listening to podcast. Not doing fun photo challenge. Not planning to do Mayhem.
I have learned that movement, exercise is so important for my mental health. I need this time of quiet, to reset, to reflect, to pray, or sometimes to chat with a friend. I am reminded that I hear God best when I slow down, get away from the activities of the day and open my mind to learn, listen, see and hear. Nature is healing.
Yes, I have a goal to run all of them and so far have been able to do that! I’m feeling great, ready to get up most mornings and run. I am planning on finishing this challenge! Attempting to get the Bible readings in, no picture change and no mayhem challenge. You can do anything you set your mind to! If you want it bad enough you will do it!

7. This challenge has caused me to reflect and meditate on the fact that life is like a race like Hebrews says. That it’s just putting one foot in front of the other; the important thing is to just take the next step while keeping your eyes FIXED on Jesus. He will give you the strength and pull you through.
Also, if the Lord asks you to do something no matter how much you don’t want to do it, He works everything out for the good of those who love Him, which is ultimately to become like His Son. So everything works out for the good of becoming like Him!!!

I have been listening to the pod cast, that’s been great!
I do not keep up with social media very well, so I have not posted pictures.
I am planning on completing as many hours as possible on the 25th, don’t have the training built up to go the distance but I’ll see how my body holds up!
So far I have been reminded how awesome the body is and how it adapts to what I put it through, it is indeed an amazing creation. Spiritually, I am being reminded how our loving and available our Father in heaven is and how much he cares. Praying through living less distracted and living fully for his kingdom not this world.

1. I faithfully walked 13 days, until my Physical Therapist said, “no more walking.” That was hard for me…when I set a goal, I make sure I finish strong. This spring has been an eye-opener to me. So to answer that question, I absolutely WANT to finish the competition, I just physically can’t 😭😭😭😭😭.
2. I’m sore…but it’s not from the challenge…it’s from a previous injury that’s keeping me from physical activity.
3. Unfortunately I will not be able to finish the challenge this time which is a big bummer because I’ve done it the past couple years.

1. Yes
2. Sore and a little extra busy, but good.
3. That’s the goal
4-6. No
7. I’m a wimp when it comes to bad weather. I’d rather do the dreadmill than the rain! 🤣

4. No

6. Maybe I’m not sure what it is.
7. Ive learned that the happiest and politest people on earth are the ones I pass by when walking. I’ve learned that the world opens up to you when you get out of the house and go walk somewhere. I’ve learned that it’s a great way to connect with my family. I’m happier when I walk everyday.

I have completed every day so far!
I feel great! I love being outside especially so i am happy when i can get my 5k in outside!!

5.) I have done a few pictures but not a lot.
6.) I haven’t completely decided, but I don’t think I will be at the 5k.
7.) I needed this more than I realized. It was put into perspective that you can call for God and He will be there for you always, but He isn’t going to stop the storm in that moment. That is exactly what I needed to hear.
1. Yes, more than 5K several times.
2. Feeling kinda tired and sore…more from yard work and projects than running 😉.
3. Yes, will finish the challenge…
4. Reading Our Daily Bread devotional and scripture associated with the daily reading. Not listening to the Podcast.

I have gotten my 5k in every day.
Got my first blood blister on my lower heal. Not letting that stop me bc I feel great otherwise.
I will definitely be finishing.
I haven’t been listening to the podcast or anything else on these walks. Enjoying the scenery.
I have done some of the photo challenges. Been posting a pic each day though.
Probably not doing the mayhem.
I’ve for sure learned it’s got to be a priority and if it is you’ll always find time to get it done.
yes.
very sore but also good.
yup!
no.
no.
NO WAY!!!!!
perseverance. Controlling my mind to BELIEVE that God can help me do what ever it is I’m doing, not just knowing it.

In Christ like love Linda ,retired teacher working two days in flower shop and walking with two total knee replacements as of last year .

7. I already knew that I hated running, but I’ve learned that I can do it and even though there are pains in the body – the body feels better and stronger and healthier. During this time, it has also given me a great time to reflect on what the “image of God” is. Run time has given me time to realize the joy of treating his image well physically while also fueling his image spiritually so it can be a blessing to other images. Love God! Love others!

15 for 15 thus far with full intentions of finishing! Strained both of my calf muscles, but can still walk… No optional challenges, though I’d started the photo one, I’m just not as attached to my phone to remember to take a pic while running/walking! I may try the Mayhem one, but I’ll have to see when the time comes!
I’ve learned that a little daily silence in your life can truly be an opportunity for God to speak and me to listen.

Finding joy in discomfort can lead to meaningful change.
I am still in this race! I’ve gotten out and about every day so far (with a few being well after the sun’s gone down).
I’m hurting. My knees aren’t what they were last year and last year they were already pretty bad! But I’m in this to the end. Mind over matter and whatever doesn’t kill me just hurts a lot…
My plan is to see this through. I mean, I’ve gotten halfway already so it’s all downhill from here, right? Except maybe that one spot in my neighborhood that the hill is daunting no matter which direction you take it.
The only optional challenge I’m participating in is the daily Bible reading but I’m not listening to the podcasts or anything.
God is keeping me going. It would’ve been real easy to quit in the first week when my pain was high and my motivation was low. I talked with God every walk. And you know what? His grace is sufficient. I’ll keep asking for these thorns to be removed, but He has me and gives me focus.
On to the finish!
1. I have walked or ran a 5k everyday except for one day that I had a fever :(.
2. Other than the few days after I had the fever, I am feeling great!
3. Yes, I am going to finish the challenge and I hope missing the one day I was sick doesn’t mean I’m not in the challenge anymore. I definitely want to finish!
4. No
5. No
6. No
7. I have learned that I am capable of doing more than I sometimes think I can do. There are some days I don’t think I have the energy to complete the 5K and then I surprise myself and do even more miles and steps than that on my nightly walk or run.
1.i have run or walked every day
2. Feeling pretty good
3. Definitely gonna finish it
4. No
5. No
6. No

I’m still planning on finishing the challenge

I’m not participating in the photo challenge
I don’t think I will

5. No 🙁
6. Not sure what that is, but sounds like fun and I’ll have to look at the schedule!
7. This challenge has been so good, but in reflecting briefly on it completing the daily challenge is like reading The Bible and spending time with God. If I make it a priority in the morning it is so much more life giving and less burdensome. If I wait to walk/run after a long day at work it is so much more difficult. I find it true of my Jesus time too. It has been a good reminder and discipline that has aided my practice of spending time with Him too. So thank you Jeff and praise God for His goodness working through you!

First year for me with the 5k challenge here! 15 days in and I’m loving it! I love the way it forces me to take the time to get at least 3+ miles in no matter what else I might have going on! At this point I’m definitely staying strong and finishing the challenge! I’m not participating in the photo every day or the scripture or the the podcast challenge. We as a family are considering the final 5k challenge day. Not sure yet!
What have I learned about myself? I love the way my body feels when I am intentional about daily exercise especially outdoors! I love the time that our family has spent hiking or going to new trails because of this challenge!

I’m still going on the 5k challenge. I am behind on the podcast but excited to finish the challenge.
