Buddy’s Contest: 4th (and final) WEEK - win ec’s and a t-shirt
This will be the final regular contest for the month of August. All contestants from this week and the previous weeks will be entered into a final Grand Prize drawing on Wednesday.
I will be taking a couple weeks off from this contest as hockey season is starting up and work is still busy.
THE CONTEST:
Just leave a comment in the comment section of this post about how many miles (or minutes) you (and/or your doggie) walked this past week, and your in. If you’re not a walker, but you spend time on a bike, or in the gym on an elliptical, bike, or treadmill - those entries count as well. NO SPAMMENTS, PLEASE. Comments must be received by 10pm EST Tuesday night. The winners will be chosen by The Randomizer.
The purpose of this contest is to bring a little awareness to how much (or how little) cardiovascular exercise each of us gets. I’m just trying to encourage people to get moving to improve heart health. With our filled up busy schedules, and our modern conveniences, we tend to neglect our body’s basic needs of good nutrition and exercise. Adult humans should get a minimum of 30 minutes to 10,000 steps a day to maintain good health. This translates to be approximately 1 to 4 miles a day. Doggies needs vary by size and breed, but believe it or not, even smaller toy breeds are supposed to get about 2 miles per day!
THE PRIZES:
The prize amounts will remain the same this week as last week. First place will receive a “Heart Healthy Hounds and Humans” t-shirt as well as 100 Entrecard credits, 2nd will get 200 ec’s, 3rd - 125 ec’s, and 4th - 75 ec’s.
Also, all qualifying (non-spamment) participants will be added to Buddy’s Monthly Mile Challenge Club blogroll in the right sidebar.
LAST WEEKS RESULTS:

@milet - thanks for the ec’s; much appreciated!
@Sassy - keep up the good work. Afterall, the point of the contest was to bring awareness to how much physical activity we do during the course of the week. The days and weeks fly by so fast, and it seems that exercise is at the bottom of a long to do list which keeps getting pushed aside as more “important” things come up.
BTW - you’re the winner since you’re the only one to enter this week!
