Nike+ Running Challenge!: Fit and Fly Naturalistas!

This challenge is for all of the lovely natural ladies out there! There is such a strong online community for natural hair, and I thought it would be great to have an online running group challenge to motivate us all to get moving and get in shape/remain in shape! : ) Sometimes exercising with others is just the push you need to stay the course!

If you have the Nike+ ipod gear (the Nike ID that inserts in your shoe to track your running statistics), then make sure you register your profile at (http://nikerunning.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikeplus/en_US/?rs=1) and join the Fit and Fly Naturalista challenge at:

The challenge begins tomorrow! Hope some of you ladies join so I have more motivation to continue running! : )

My SN on Nike+ is NaturalChica

I want to start running but it's too cold out for me. I am trying to convince the hubby to buy me a treadmill or at least an elliptical. Plus when I go to work it's dark and when I get home it's dark. This is a great idea for a challenge.

Great idea! I will absolutely sign-up for the Naturalista challenge today. I've been trying to get back into running. I bought the Nike-ipod awhile ago but, I never used it.

I would love to join you. I have already started training for a mini marathon in April. I have not ran outside yet but I I'm trying to work up the nerve to run outside this saturday. I will get signed up with the nike website. Do I have to purchase anything to sign up?

Im in!!! I officially started training for the mini marathon in May with a local running group here in Indianapolis yesterday. We ran 3 miles...it was hard but I got through it. I dont have the Nike + ipod gear but I do use the RunKeeper app on my iphone that does the same thing.

BTW - running outside is much better than the running indoors. Just get you some running gloves a nice insulated hat or earmuffs/band and fleece and a long-sleeve shirt made for working out. I had the same reservations and I started to unofficially train last month and it is cold here in Indiana but it felt great...so ladies give it a try.

I'm still working on getting the gear needed for the challenge.
