Made it, just under the wire, and only because my run(s) yesterday took so long that I didn't have time to eat more (also they managed to kill my appetite).
Goal: Under 12000 (exclusive of long run fuel)
Reality: 11794 (exclusive of long run fuel)
I consumed 330 calories for my long run (1 gel, 20 oz Powerade, EAS light protein recovery drink)0 -
I completed my 3 lifting sessions for the week. Feeling stronger. Also discovered that one of the bars I was using weighs almost 10 pounds more than I was allowing for, so my lifts have also been heavier than I thought. Made me feel a little less wimpy

Woo hoo!
Great job everybody!
I met my goal too.
As a reminder, I'm leaving on vacation next Saturday, so I'll post our update tomorrow morning, but it'll be two weeks before the next total.0 -
Have a great Vacation!0

Made it! :-)
The long run is a hero. it is helping me to both goals. My run on Saturday burned 1400+ calories. And thanks to that same run, I need all the stretching and rolling I can get, which helps me to goal number two!0 -
Made my walking goals.... barely!
What a crazy week of vacation. It was hard to fit it all in. Glad to be back to routine.0 -
We came in at 94% for week 1. I have three people missing so far this week.
I think I'm going to do an extra credit challenge next week to ensure that the group as a whole will meet our cumulative goal.0 -

Just wanted to check in and that I'm still on board. My week in the field was very challenging at times, but wonderful overall. I'm struggling to meet my goals this week due to lingering exhaustion and extra long work hours trying to deal with crises that occurred while I was out (9 am to 11 pm yesterday, woohoo!). Still, I'm getting there. Kudos to all of you out there kicking butt!0

Extra Credit Challenge: Monday, April 28 - Sunday, May 4
If you do a cumulative total of 100 burpees -or- 5 minutes of stretching for each of 5 days, you will earn one extra credit point for the group.
We are at about 93% and need to bump up our score by a few points to meet goal. Who can dig a little deeper and get the group where it needs to be?0 -
4.24 - 11,800 steps
4/25 - Squat 3x5 45#, 1x3 45#, 1x2 55#, 5x5 70#, OHP 4x5 45#, 3x5 55#, 1x2 50#, Deadlift 2x5 45#, 1x3 65#, 1x2 90#, 1x5 110#
No burpees for me, but I should be able to do some stretching.0 -

I need the extra stretching, so count me in.0 -
Burpees are like evil. I can stretch though.0
-
I'm telling you: the burpees are easier....0
-
Remember that I'll be out next week. I've done my challenge for this week, have a plan for next and will be doing the burpees.0
-
Week complete! My goal: run at least 3 times per week, with a 3 mi minimum to count. I did a 3 mi trail run Wednesday, 4.56 mi (including an "urban invasion" obstacle course) yesterday, and 7.2 mi today. My semester is nearly over, which will be a huge help for my midweek runs. RAWR!0

Goals met this week! I hate burpees but might have time for stretching.0

Crap! I forgot. I miss you already.
Unless things go horribly wrong (which I'm doubting because my stomach & I aren't getting along right now) and go more than 1000 calories over target today, I was successful this week with my goal too.0 -
Successfully completed the week in steps:
4/21: 11,365
4/22: 11,533
4/23: 10,194
4/24: 7,373
4/25: 5,428
4/26: 6,571
4/27: 20,000+. Not done for today yet.
Goal is a minimum of 5000 steps per day, with three days coming in at 10,000. Definitely exceeded goal this week.
I don't know how to do a burpee, so that's out. Might need extra credit for the team next week--I'm travelling much of this week, so that will be complicated enough.
