There's Still Time to Start Your September Challenge

There's Still Time to Start Your September Challenge

Mike Barzacchini

It’s just the second day of the month. Plenty of time to start your monthly challenge. Are you still searching for ideas? How about:

  • Walk one mile a day? Could also be a run, jog, swim, or hike daily challenge.

  • Watch one Criterion Channel movie a day?

  • Walk the dog once a day (we have four dogs in our pack currently, so I could take this challenge x4)?

  • Make a mixtape (or CD or digital playlist) a day?

  • Eat a pancake a day? Now you’re talking, though if I took this challenge, I may be advised to combine it with the walk-a-mile (or two or three) challenge a day.

Sometimes, getting up and moving forward each day is enough of a challenge to accomplish, especially lately.
