The January Hike it Baby 30 Challenge is DONE and the prize winners are being announced right here today! The next Challenge begins March 1, 2015. We will announce the registration for the next Challenge on February 21, 2015. Some of the upcoming Challenge prizes are Oakiwear outerwear for kids and Onya Baby carrier! Get your walking and hiking legs ready this month.
March's Challenge will be more of a personal Challenge. You can choose EITHER 30 miles in 30 days or 30 minutes 3 times a week. Up to you. We also want everyone to think of one personal Challenge you are going to announce to the group at the beginning of the month. Examples would be:
--Hike 4 new trails my family has never done
--Sign up for a 5k or 10k and start training
--Get my family to walk together at least one time a week
--Spend one alone day a week walk/hiking with my LO with no phone or distractions from nature! (leave phone in car? WHAT?)
--Ditch the stroller and carry or toddler only for every hike or walk in the month
--Come up with one creative toddler/kiddo walk a week close to home that I have never thought of
--Complete at least one errand a week walking instead of driving
Start thinking about your Challenge ideas and share here what kind of ideas you are thinking about to give others Challenge ideas?
Here are some of the awesome things people said about their Challenge experience in case you missed these posts on Facebook:
"I want to thank the HIB30 group for this challenge this month. I feel like being outside for 30 minutes a day has fundamentally changed my relationship walking with my toddler. We have a 1.5 mile trek to the bus stop to school and back again. Every day used to feel like a battle to get from place to place- me carrying her, her resisting being carried, her walking slowly, the wrong way. Me being late for work or late coming home to get dinner started. With HIB30, I just decide
d to budget in an extra 30 minutes in the morning to get to school, and the whole experience has changed. Getting to school is about exploring. We walk through the park blocks. We splash in puddles. We climb the benches. Even though we need to leave the house at 6:45 and the trip takes 5 times longer, it is now time spent together enjoying the sunrise rather than a commute." - Carolyn
"My family loved this challenge! We were outside for 3,141minutes and 88 miles. My biggest challenge was logging my time.. My goodness I am a horrible procrastinator. It helped Gwen become a stronger walker and for me this challenge helped keep away the pregnancy and winter blahs. Looking forward to the next challenge! " -Sarah Rose
"We had a great time at the
#HIBAustin challenge wrap-up party and my kids enjoyed their first playground swing, thanks to this idea we saw on this group.
I'm already going into challenge withdrawal." - Kelly
"I was worried we wouldn't finish the challenge, I input all of W's time outside and he's done a total of 537 minutes!! I know that's not a lot compared to some BUT for us living in Northeast Ohio, in subzero temps & lake effect snow storms (just plain dreary weather). I'm proud of us, proud of W. and so thankful to have had HIB for constant support to get outdoors this last month. Thanks for everything! " --Corie
