You’ve been emailing, asking in the forums, tweeting questions, sending hand written pleas by carrier pigeon…so here it is the final decision on Holiday Bootie Buster 2014.

But first indulge me with a little story time.

The Bootie Buster Challenge started out of pure love for connecting with the amazing people I was meeting through RTTF seven crazy years ago. Blogging was still this fresh new world and we were all finding our way in how to connect.

After reading yet another article about gaining weight over the holidays, I thought “hello I have a support group right here, we just need some structure!”  I posted 4 basic rules and you showed up ready to roll.

Yes this was in fact the original 2008 logo!!! {Checkout the other original logo and participant list}

Original CHallenge logoEach year it grew a bit more {the challenge not my bootie}…just like the Grinch’s tiny little heart it seemed quite the Christmas miracle that suddenly 1000 people wanted to partake.

Still one of my favorite emails after the challenge:

I’m a single mom of a 7 year old girl. I’ve spent time the last couple years getting healthier & am running my first half 12/9. I did HBBC last year and ended up losing about 16 lbs over the holidays. Definitely happy to be doing it again! Have fun with it! – Rachel

For the last 3 years it’s taken a significant amount of work to gather over $3,000 in prizes yearly and make the HBBC something valuable for everyone through unique content, workouts and as always SUPPORT.

Which left me pondering, could really do it again??

Alone the answer was quite simply NO.

But that broke my now ginormous HBBC heart.

Then I made a new friend and I pondered and I thought and I then I asked….Holiday Sweat Challenge is ComingSWEAT GURU/SWEAT PINK + RTTF = HOLIDAY SWEAT CHALLENGE

Look for registrations to open up in the next few days and past participants be watching your inbox for a special deal! The sooner you sign up, the better your chance at winning a referral prize {which might just be amazeballs}.

Welcome!!

Hello runners! I’m Amanda Brooks, a certified running coach and personal trainer since 2012. But my running love started long before that in 2002. My philosophy is that running isn’t about your pace or the distance or your body. It’s about showing up for yourself, loving the process and doing it injury free!
