    I've picked the 2nd one (already done my run, weights will be completed in a couple of hours).

    My secret weapon is poison, and I'll be avoiding Salts & any type of bottled sauce this week to stay away from my own poisons :-)

    Happy challenging!

    I'm doing option A too. It will be interesting to see if I can do this with my crazy schedule and moving out sunday morning. Also my weapon will be a crossbow = 8 glasses of water.

    I am choosing option B ~ jog 2 miles daily and 45 reps of one arm dumbbell rows, dumbbell streight punch and cross wood chops every other day . Oh and my weapon of choice will be a rifle (which means 8c of water a day and my sugar less than 30g)

    My only down fall is I pinched a nerve last night in my back so today I'm kind of out of commission (leave it to me doing so during a walk at home video!?!?! lol). Team Ranged is AWESOME!!! Keep up the good work all

    For this challenge... I'm not sure I can actually walk 5 miles as I have no safe places to walk and no way in which to get to safe places to walk due to a broken down jeep... so I have an eliptical but it doesn't work for the miles and numbers to come up so does anyone know how many minutes it usually takes to walk 5 miles????

    I have 3 lb weights and can do the other part of this challenge with no issues. :)

    As for my wepon of choice is a garden rake and my challenge for this week is eating 3-5 servings of veggies as well.

    Please some one get back to me on the walking part of this. Our road is not a safe place to walk with people not knowing how to drive and come flying down too fast.

    I can walk my drive way however I just need to figure out how many feet it is.

    sweetseraph7: do you have a pedometer? five miles is approx 10,000 steps if that helps you at all. Otherwise is you average standard walking speed at 3mph the it would take about 90-100 min
    Hope you find a solution & good luck for this weeks challenge.

    p.s while i'm on here decided to bite the bulet & change to challenge B, it's time i got back onto my c25k programme which works out to 2.1 miles. Wish me luck i gave up last time cause my legs hurt so much!

    Week 2 Challenge - Option A

    July 18 - 3.78 miles :)
    July 19 - 3.46 miles
    July 20
    July 21
    July 22
    July 23
    July 24
    Running Total: 7.24

    ***Really happy that Option A was changed to 3 miles. 5 miles is an awesome goal, but not enough hours in a day :-) ***
    *Also, if my mileage seems oddly specific, I'm using mapmyrun.com to figure out exactly how far each of my walks are*


    Hey, all~
    Just wanted to let y'all know that for the next ten days, I'll be working my butt off on my thesis. I have a major deadline on the 29th, it's do or die. (Or maybe "due" or die?? Hee hee). So, just wanted to let you know that I'm going to do my best, I'll keep in contact, but if I don't complete a challenge, it's because I just need more time studying/writing. I'll do my best to keep up with everything, but since I'm teaching in South Korea, the schools are still in session. Fulltime teaching + masters program + working out like a mad woman = dead GlitterMouse.

    Keep up the good work! As we say here in the Land of the Morning Calm--FIGHTING!!

    Did I hear that right? Walking has been changed to 3 miles? That is great. I cant pull off 2 miles of straight jogging -- YET. My weapon will be a pitchfork -- eating at least 2 servings of fruit and 3 veggies each day.

    I only got 2 miles yesterday but will get in 3 days. I also didn't get to use my ptchfork.

    I've got my hand weights and I'm readdy to roll with the weight train.

    Hey, you're not letting anyone down! It's okay to miss days--you're sick. So make sure you take care of yourself, mmmkay? Drink lots of fluids. (The big sister in me had to say that.)
