I was under the 11 minutes (cutoff for CA PFT 1 mile run) by 30 seconds. I have NEVER ever gotten close. When I did it the 1st time I was at 18 minutes. Last year when
I started 100 Miles I cut it down to 14, which was tough and now I passed!!!! Thank you for starting 100 Mile Club!

This club is really motivating
the clients to MOVE…and I love to hear them encouraging the staff to move as well. Everyone of my 75 milers
wear their bracelet ..the hats are very popular too, but the BRACELET! Those are the coveted items. This club is just GREAT!

I just wanted to share with you that The 100 mile Club is running beautifully. This morning as I came
through I saw parents and students running, together. Wow! ~Nicole, Resource Specialist
I'm training
for my second Breast Cancer 3-Day in San Diego this winter and have some marathons planned, too. When I started training last
year, walking around the block two or three times was a challenge. What a thrill it was to accomplish the BC3-D last November
and the LA Marathon in March just by walking out the door and putting one foot in front of the other! I can imagine how happy
your club members must be, especially in this day of almost complete inactivity, unwalkable cities and communities and rampant
obesity. They're doing something so good for themselves and can lead their families by example.
This is a
great project for so many reasons. Thanks for showing these folks how much fun it is to move!

though it's hard. It really teaches you that if you work hard and try your best, you can do anything! I know some people
who couldn't walk across a room without tripping. But they can make 100 miles just like I can if we really try. This just
shows that with lots of effort and encouraging, we can do anything. Do you know why? Because we're all in this together!
And when we stand together, anything is possible and I mean anything! 100 mile club, you rock! ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~Remaya C., McKinley School
I love to run and I have run 25 miles so far this
year. ~Alyssa J., McKinley School
I've watched this program grow from a small classroom effort to get
kids believing in themselves to a bona fide educational program of district, state, and soon to be national importance. Even
after all these years, I am awed. If I can get even one program up and running that has half the significance that 100 Mile
Club already has had in so many people's lives, I will consider my career in education to have been a success. I mean
it. ~Mr. Gonsalves, Teacher/Administrator

We are two weeks into it
and it is doing amazing things with student and staff morale. We are all united behind our common goal. We have
teachers walking before school, during school, and after school. On Friday we did a school wide count of miles and it
was over 2,500 miles. We made an announcement and told the kids that that was the distance from Corona, CA to Orlando,
Florida. It has made all our students so motivated to get out there. Tricia and Sue, Stallings Elementary Coaches
...the
100 Mile Club was a success at Superior Sr High school Special Needs Dept. They are on board for the future. I have
had some other schools in the district asking about it also, so you may hear from them as well. HURRAH!! Dawn

LOVE the idea, the concept. and the impact this is having on my team of students this
year. It takes the feeling of our team being a "family" to a whole new level! Since December 16, our team
of 47 people have run/walked 3500 miles - not bad considering we had to contend with a NE Ohio winter :) We figured
it out - that is about 63,000 laps around our gym! (we meet there in the mornings and sometimes at recess and after
school - 18 laps=1mile) We are so darn proud of our kids!

placed in the top two in four of the six team divisions at the Bobcat Invitational, mostly due to your 100 mile program, we
sent 71 students and half of them received awards. Thanks for making me look sooooo good.

I loved seeing (my Kindergarten granddaughter) running with her friend while
holding hands. She came by and gave me a high-5 and kept running. Very cool.

"I love the 100 Mile Club!
My son has thrived as he's participated in it, offering
him focus, goal-setting, increased confidence and some great exercise. In a school system with budget cuts
and many activities going by the wayside, this has been a simple
and very effective additionto the normal school day.
I'd recommend it to any teacher considering it for
his/her classroom. My hope is that my younger children will be able to participate in it when they're older."
~ BJ Walker, McKinley Elementary, Corona,

I love 100 mile club because you get exercise and also it makes you calm
down. I also like it because u can walk and run all u want until your teacher calls you in. That's why I love
100 mile club. It is my favorite thing to do in school.

100 Mile Club Participant 100 Mile Club Is The BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~Nicholas, Student & 100 Mile Club Participant
I just wanted you to know that 43 kids have hit 25 miles and 9 have hit 50. I
am amazed. That is in a little over a month. They are out there every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday running
their little hearts out. This has been a great thing for our kids and teachers. Thank you...
