Million Minute Month Hits 433,363 and Announces New Prizes

Da 41 of the Million Minute Month!

Mloggers! Halfway is nearly upon us, and so today we announce our Halfway Mark Stimulus Plan. The HMSP will be rolled out in stages, before and after 500K, and will involve a variety of powerful incentives. To kick things off, we're calling for a poem to mark the occasion, and we're giving away not only one crisp Social Workout t-shirt, BUT ALSO one multi-DVD P90X® Extreme Training system. (For the record, the P90X people claim this is an $800 value.) What do you have to do to win? The DVDs will go to that challenger — regardless of their minute count — who submits the best "workout poem" this week. That is, you must first complete a workout, and then file a workout post in poetic form. Your poem may be a haiku, a sonnet, or other, BUT it must include some variant of the word "mlog," (i.e. mlogger, mlogging), and/or the number "500." Some themes you might want to consider or ignore: Sweat, apathy, annoying treadmill people, lust, joy, and spandex. Complete details on this new program after the jump, along with today's fabulous leaderboard. One million or bust!
