    I can't wait till I get fit enough to do your challenges. They sound like so much fun but if I did them right now I would hurt something!

    I'm going to try to do this. I'm signed up for a couple of other challenges that aren't challenging enough. Here's hoping I have time for everything.

    Oh god...I think I'll give this a try! The weekend between 2 and 3 I'll be gone on vacation though, so I'll just have to try to fit in my goals before and after!

    I am not going to make the first week challenge. 20 miles is just too much for me. I am probably close to 10. The overhead claps or big circles was okay. I made those.
