This is so bittersweet! I've had such a good time during this challenge, I hate to see it end. @MissionEnforcer and @hawkins410 have done such a terrific job with this Amazing Race. I hope there is another coming up that I can participate in. And thanks to @120maggie for keeping this team on track! Everyone on this team is incredible.
Challenges completed and I will be alternately grading and working out today. @Ingrid2017, Fluffy has inspired me! I'm going to try snow shoeing for the first time today (hopefully anyway - need to be sure I can borrow gear)! Minutes will be forthcoming!

Shoveling snow was a lot of minutes for me already this morning! Did our sidewalk in front of the house, 2 porches with stairs and a path to our cars. My husband was doing the drive with the snow blower but I had to brush off the cars and move the so the area could be cleaned. More snow coming...more minutes will rack up. I did 90 already and will go back out later if the lake machine keeps up after this system snow.4

All you guys Rock!!! Was going to settle in and wrap and finish tree but husband suggested we take the dog for a snow romp. Headed out to a 4 mile trail. Not sure how much of it we will trudge through!! To wet for our skis. Am sure we will all be worn out!4

Evening everybody
We still need some points and minutes to beat team 5 this week and win the overall challenge so put inn that points and hopefully we can enjoy the gold medal tomorrow that will be a cool christmas present right?
I want to say special thanks to @hawkins410 and @MissionEnforcer for all effort they put in this challenge you both are really amazing people xxxx
To give a smile for a new week my last jokes in this challenge read them with a big wink:
A woman is standing looking in the bedroom mirror…
She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, “I feel horrible;
I look old, fat and ugly… I really need you to pay me a compliment.”
The husband replies, “Your eyesight’s damn near perfect.”
An ugly, fat, bad woman with two kids enters Wal Mart, shouting angry at the kids with no reason.
The man at the reception says cheerfully to her: "Good morning and welcome to Wal-Mart. Cute kids! Are they twins?"
The horrible woman stopped shouting, just enough to say, "Hell, they’ re not twins… The older is 9 and the other is 7! Are you blind or just stupid?"
"No madam... I’m neither blind nor stupid... I just can’t get that there’s a man out there who had sex with you twice."
One night a man walks into a bar looking sad. The bartender asks the man what he wants.
The man says “Oh just a beer”.
The bartender asked the man “Whats wrong,why are you so down today?”.
The man said “My wife and i got into a fight,and she said she would’nt talk to me for a month”.
The bartender said “So whats wrong with that”?
The man siad “Well the month is up tonight”.
And to everybody
Big hugs and kisses
Aggie

Thank you.
Thank you to both of you for hard work and support and motivation. And the team leaders for support and motivation.4 -
I decided to reclimb the Inca Trail! I did a lot of random stair climbing at work this week and dragged down Christmas decorations today! OUCH! (The decision was made at work and ended up finishing at home today)
@MissionEnforcer
Life style choices:
1. Don't give up
2. Every little thing matters-even if it is just having a small salad with lunch to get extra veggies.
3. Keep moving, no matter how little just keep moving.
4. Don't look back. Even if you slide back, don't look that direction.
5. Believe you can! Look at how far you came and just push forward.
6. Set goals. Even if you don't meet them when you think you should-keep them and work/fight for them!
7. Believe in yourself, no matter what, you can do it!
8. Rely on your friends! If number 7 fails, your friends will be there to remind you how far you have come and that you got this!
9. I want to try Insanity Max 30. I have it, but haven't bitten the bullet and tried it yet. I have been looking for another workout program to start and finish. I have found that I do really well with a set program and goal.6 -
For challenge #2 I did “HIKING THE NA PALI COAST” (8 mile run outside). I ran 9 miles today. I had planned for 10, but my ankle started really hurting so I cut it short. Actually, I ran 8.8 than decided to walk the rest, but then it was too cold, so I finished running. Anyways, I chose this challenge because, well it just makes sense to me. The beauty in running (or walking if you so choose) is that pretty much anyone can do it, pretty much anywhere, with pretty much no specialized equipment. Yes, if you are going to run in single digit temperatures, as I did today, you are going to need some quality cold weather gear. But really for the most part, all you need are a good pair of shoes. A good pair of running socks is helpful. And then you just go outside and do it. No driving to the gym. No special equipment. No fighting for machines or equipment at the gym. It's simple. And the endorphins are pretty damn awesome!
Your turn @tonilogan .......4 -
I'm with Fluffy. All I want for Christmas is a team 1 victory. Love, the real Maggie

Team, I gave it all I could today. And I had fun - I went snowshoe running for the first time. It was tough! My legs are so tired. After that I did another walk with Stella, and I did about an hour of yoga. I had to add one minute of plank so I could get to 800 total for the week
And with that, I'm done. Things are the spreadsheet are starting to fill in - it's so close!!!! I hope the challenges that need approval can be done by those that are still missing them.
I see on the power ranking spreadsheet page that I had 5087 minutes total over the course of this challenge. That's 84.8 hours of activity! Thanks for the motivation!5 -
@katharmonic Thanks for sharing your stats. That is the real win! All the extra time we have done getting strong and healthy! @mswanger09 thanks for the inspiration in your reindeer life choices. They are so true for all of us!4
