Hey guys, I've been reading everyone's posts and trying to keep up. Also trying to help @tonilogan figure everything out!
I'm getting really frustrated by my exercise limitations. I need to run, and I'm getting really grouchy! i had signed up for a kickboxing class which was supposed to start this week, and had to drop out of that
And I think it's pretty safe to say I won't be doing my half marathon on Sunday
I did lift today, and that helped somewhat. I had to drop the weight for deadlifts and front squats (I couldn't squat at all with the bar on my back) but at least it was something. I'm planning to get to the videos after a swim tomorrow.3 -
@ka97 I hope you heal. Having limitations is not fun!
I missed my calling... I should have been a drummer!
Not really I don't have much rhythm but boy did I enjoy that drumming challenge! I completed it tonight! Toys make good drums and drum holders for the balls! I think I am fixing to take my last walk of the night and call it a day! 
Great work Team 1 we will get this done!1 -
Team one is in first place right now!!! How about that action?!! Bring it on!
(Edit to add: before I get too cocky, it looks like our challenge 1 points have been confirmed but other teams have not all been confirmed yet. We have work to do to stay on top!!!!)
I just did my Viking chants (3x) and the 3 videos (2x each). I'll tell ya, drumming is not one of my strongest skills. The first song she did, the Wings one - I had so much trouble finding the beat. I swear the timing of sound and picture was off a bit. Or I'm off a bit. The other two went a bit better.
Then I did my own, and I got to tell you, it was a masterpiece. In my need for a strong beat I found this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB5G6NOh-ww
and I went to town. I was drumming, jumping, spinning, bouncing on the ball, doing yoga stretches while drumming, at one point laying on the ball and drumming over my head. A sight to behold. Poor Stella was so confused and may have gotten slightly whacked by a mixing spoon. Sorry, baby!
So, I counted that for the 10 challenge points, plus 35 minutes of exercise. Added to my two 30-minute dog walks today that brought me to 95 total. Still working on the water for today - getting close.
And with that, I'm out for a bit. Driving to Vermont in the morning so I'll check in with you all when I have a chance!2 -
@MissionEnforcer I have added all of my teammates as friends!
As mentioned before, I am from Newfoundland, Canada. I've visited other places, but I've never lived anywhere else. Truthfully, I have no desire to, and these pictures may show why.

Hey all! We made it to savannah and I did get my water in. Helped that hubby has to drink a lot so I didn't feel bad about the pit Stops! Only managed 30 minutes of walking before and after dinner. The museum he wanted to go to was so not my thing and I was tired from the drive (and really, why is driving so tiring?!) so I chilled and read my book. I'm off to update the spreadsheet then early to bed. Tomorrow has a little more driving but lots of walking.2

We are cruising!
Let's keep it up!

30 minutes is great on a travel day like that. Good luck the next few days!

Yahoo!!!! Both my teams are on top!!!! Indians are in the World Series!!!! and the last time I looked Team 1 was one top. Excellent job everybody.
So @ashleereign how much room do you have? I think we all are planning on visiting. You wanted to start a B&B didn't you?
Hang in there @ka97 I can image you being restricted doesn't bring out the best in you LOL.
Love the shirt @mamaelf2008. @katharmonic I too was a sight to be seen doing the drums. At first I tried to use spatulas. Stupid me. Wooden mixing spoons worked better. It was fun. I may have to find a set of real drumsticks somewhere. Have a great day tomorrow!

Checking in - been a couple of hectic days, and after a six hour meeting tomorrow, I'm getting on a plane to Florida. Got my water in three days in a row, but I haven't gotten to the videos yet. I'm thinking I might have to make my sisters join me for that on Saturday to get us psyched up for the race - Daddy will hate it and make us all go outside, but I think it will be fun.
I'm trying to save my knees, so my minutes will be kind of low for the next couple of days, but you can bet I'm going to count every single second it takes me to finish on Sunday!
I signed up for a challenge at a local sports complex that will hopefully help me build a little strength and kick some of these pounds off my butt. It starts when I get back next week and should help me build some minutes/miles into each day.
There are so many posts I can't possible answer them all, but I want to come and visit ALL of your beautiful towns!! I have friends who live near Rotterdam, so I think I could even make it to Belgium if I tried really hard!2 -

Haha, you'll find us Newfies to be very accommodating!3 -
To ALL TEAMS: I have started to verify Challenge #1. What I am finding is that many people are leaving out the "brief description of where you live". Also, there are some people who are doing a great job, but aren't marking it on the spreadsheet. A few are claiming points, without making any post. I will try and finish tomorrow, as it seems most players have shown up.1

Hi all, sorry not active this week really slammed at work. Got my water intake done 3 days now. I will work on drum challenge Friday as roll call is done for sales tomorrow which means I slow down thank goodness for a bit.
Love all the posts, amazing pictures of everyone's pets and home towns catching up at 11:30pm is only time alone to read them. Lol
Can't wait for our hike this weekend should get about 4 hrs of hiking recorded. Such a stress reliever. Going to the bay for a hike around Point Reyes seashore area will post pics should be pretty.

Goodmorning All,
A good start to a day is very important. If you are in a positive frame of mind in the morning than you are very likely to have a productive day
What a beautiful places do you have in the USA it is really amazing to see here everything is flat and green.
On the other hand we have no snakes....spiders..sharks.....wild scary animals etc for me as a scary harry it is very important.
@celtikgirl the coffee is warm
Rotterdam is about 170km from were I live so in usa distance is that a piece of cake.
Come with hawkins she has also friends in Holland.....hahahahah yeahhh we are friendly people lol.......
We are not at position 1 yet....... missionenforcer had to check all the challenges in the other teams and will find them positive we are all positive.
But hey we are team 1 we go for it till the last minute of the week right? And the challenge takes 8 weeks so there will be revenge time to Our human body is not made to do over 4.5 hours workout everyday 8 weeks long so I think there will be a moment that a few fall of the wagon.
Hahahahah me competentive ??? (I don't know if this is good written) sorry yes I am it keeps me focussed and try to get always the best out of myself.
Have a wonderful day everybody don't forget to smile you will be amazed what you get back from others.

@wolvinnetje Thank you for the positive encouragement to start the day! Let's do this people!1

@MissionEnforcer , I did give my intro but not sure what I did had enough of a description of where I live. I live in Reading which is a nice distance from a lot of cool places for day trips.(I know said that.) there isn't too much to say about my hometown, we are currently on the bottom end of a downward swing economically, but you can sees sings of improvement and people are starting to care about the city again. We are known for pretzels and our "nickname" is Baseball(not sure who voted on that)! We are home of the AA affiliation for the Philadelphia Phillies.(Yup, I can watch their players from the early stages but not really a Phillies fan.) However, from 1933-1964-the AA Red Sox called Reading home. My dad worked part time at the stadium and got to meet and talk to some of the guys who made it to the bigs.
Also @MissionEnforcer, I have friended my team.
Hope everyone is having a good day! My minutes will be low over today and tomorrow but hoping for some big weekend numbers.2 -
Question:
How is it possible that when you want to have the same two runs that one day you have the idea that you can run another 30 min and the other day you are out of breath after 5 min run and I mean really out of breath (my hrm gives 175bpm!!!!)
Do I something wrong or is that normal?1 -
Hi everybody. @celtikgirl Good luck this weekend!!! So cool that you would get your sisters in on the challenge fun. Maybe they are future teammates@wolvinnetje so agree with starting the day out in the right frame of mind. It also works with eating. If I eat junk early, forget it, I have a hard time all day! Got my morning workout it. Lots of rain in the forecast for the next couple of days. Birthday dinner celebrations for different family members tonight and tomorrow. I will try to squeeze in more minutes when I can! 0

@wolvinnetje : Your fun pictures and sayings always start my day in the right mood! Hugs and smiles back to you!
@katharmonic: Your description of the drumming was about the funniest I've ever read!
@mckelfam: Have a great hike at Point Reyes! Do your fur babies get to go too?
@cardbucfan: Hope you are having a fab trip!
@mamaelf2008: Cool shirt!!
@AlethaMary, @GSXRGIRL61, @TamiJo1004; your numbers are spurring me on! Your enthusiasm is contagious! And of course, @120maggie, I always try my best to keep pace with you!
@ka97: You still impress with your determination to keep going even while injured! I can't wait to see how you like the drumming! Let's get @tonilogan on board and our Team will be complete! @dtplow is a Friday/Saturday logger, so no worries there.
@leti126: You need to put your "10" on the spreadsheet! You've completed Challenge #1 so give yourself credit!
All the beautiful pictures of where y'all live are wonderful!! Of course, I love the furbaby pictures too! Thank you for posting them! I can "travel" while the temperature climbs to 95 degrees today! I think heading up to Newfoundland & visiting @ashleereign sounds good right about now! When the boss isn't looking of course.
@mswanger09: We'll have to start looking for a place to hold our Friday night party in Iceland! I'm pretty positive we will arrive by tonight! I haven't looked for an Icelandic bartender yet, but I bet there are some mighty fine ones there!
@Vowder: Keep that blue ribbon handy!
Don't forget everyone: once we arrive in Iceland, we still get 10 points for every 10% we go over the 5621 miles (every 562 minutes/miles after we reach Iceland equals 10 more points!)
Let's show them who we are and finish the first leg in First Place!! 2 -

I don't know my dear, I don't run!!! But I can do the same LS workout 2 days in a row and feel differently after each day. Maybe some of it has to do with your frame of mind.2 -
@mamaelf2008 ...thxxx sis I think you are right that it is mentally and the hrm is a reaction from it ....weird things human body's2

Yep, it's normal. Some runs just suck! And some runs are so amazingly awesome!!! Sometimes you can attribute it to sleep patterns, weather, time of day, nutrition. But sometimes there's just no obvious reason. Just remember all runners have crappy runs sometimes, and you just have to get through it. And then appreciate the really good ones!
@hawkins410 I do not like the drumming. I did have to do some creative modification because there is no jumping, hopping, turning, pivoting, etc. on my ankle right now. But generally speaking, I don't like exercise videos. And I don't like choreographed workouts. So nope, not a fan of the drumming.1 -
Team 5 has completed the first leg!
We need to show them who's the boss!
Just saying!
