Hey everyone,

It's time for another blogging contest! This time I am adding a few new categories and I am excited to see how creative everyone gets. The contest starts today and runs through Sunday April 11. Awards will be handed out for the following:

• Best true story posted about motivating another person to get Active. For example: "I motivated my lazy dad/cousin/friend to go running with me when he/she was visiting. They only made it around the neighborhood once but it's the first time in 15 years they have put on running shoes..."
• Best training photo of yourself--have fun with this!
• Most inspirational comment on another person's post
  
• Most creative post--think video, photos, creative writing, etc.

Here is a post from last year to help get your creative juices flowing:)

Finally I am going to extend the "most people at a workout" challenge to be part of this contest period. Take a photo with your group at the workout and post it in the blog.

Good luck and keep up the great work!
