What's Next?
Mile 12 - 1.1 miles left to go
At the end of every Superbowl the question is asked - "Now that you've won the Superbowl what are you going to do next?" And the classic answer is "I'm going to Disney World!" Well, I think the Nike Women's Half-Marathon was my personal equivalent to a Superbowl and want to maintain my title. So, I"m going to Disney World to run the Disney Princess Half-Marathon! On February 27th, 2011 I will be running another half-marathon with a group of my friends - both folks I know in real life and others that have become my friends online. I've been recruiting people to run with me to help celebrate my birthday which falls on February 26th.
I'm truly committed to being fit and I know that having a goal keeps me on track. Subway also believes in people "committing to be fit" and is supporting Jared as he prepares to run the New York Marathon next month. They'd also like to support you and your fitness goals. Perhaps you'd like to join me and run the Disney Half-Marathon in February. Maybe you want to try out that new Zoomba class but haven't had the extra pocket money. Well, Subway has provided me with a $100.00 giftcard for one of my readers so that you too can "Commit to Fit"!
All you have to do is leave a comment here and let me know what you would use the giftcard for. Will you be registering for your first 5K? Getting a dance card for your local dance studio? Anything goes, just tell me how you will use it!
Bonus entries for tweeting about this contest with a link back to this page using #committofit
Good luck!!!!!
Disclosure: I received a giftcard and will be using it for my Disney registration!

This is a great followup to your Nike 1/2. So proud of you for continuing to move. I have a goal of doing the Disney Princess, too, but can't do it in 2011. Maybe 2012?
"I so want to exercise and be "fit" but motivation escapes me! Mr. Husband has been hard at it, and I just watch! Im a good watcher!"
Then I clicked on your link leading me here. Is that a coincidence, I think not. Again, you're coming to my rescue with "motivation."
What I'd do with a gift card... buy the Zoomba dvd set, and dance my extra weight away. Instead of watching my husband exercise, I'll get busy myself.

I would use the $100 towards my next half marathon or a new pair of running shoes!
My daughter and I have agreed to do all we can to combat childhood obesity in our family. We'd use the gift card to purchase the Zumba dvd set. We saw the info-mercial, and she said it looked like everyone was having fun!
So I would have to re-qualify first!

I think it would be a heart rate monitor/distance tracker watch. I just completed my first 6K and I want to get into running more. After putting a lot of thought into it I think I need those to help me train.
If I didn’t get a HR monitor I would probably get a gym membership. With the winter coming I doubt I will be able to do much running outside.

My next race is the Women's Half Marathon in St. Pete the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Am eyeing an Orlando half the first weekend in December, but have not yet registered. Figure I should, though, since I'm conditioned for it.
Would love to win the gift card and do the Princess half with you! They moved it up a week? It used to fall on my birthday weekend.
