It's quiet around here lately, so I thought I would throw up a little competitions for us to try and challenge/encourage us to push a little harder. I always do better with a little friendly competition and I'm hoping you guys will join me.

It's summer, but August is also the time we I start thinking about how quickly the summer goes by. So for August I want to encourage everyone to get outside and enjoy what last of summer we have. So rack up some minutes of time out in the sun and let's see who spends the most time outside.

1) Post saying you are participating.
2) Log your outdoors activities (can be walking, running, biking, sports, whatever as long as it's outside!)
3) Post here every couple days with a summary of your outdoor activities.
4) I will keep a running tally of the total minutes we spend outside and we will see who can get the highest.

Cheer each other on, *friendly* smack talk is encouraged.

    That sounds fun. Do you want just the amount of time we are active outdoors? I will be spending a lot of time out doing things like riding an atv and camping and picnics....

    Yup. Just the time. As long as it's an active workout situation.

    Whoever is joining us on this, I would recommend posting some times by early Sunday morning. I'm going to be away from the computer Sunday afternoon - Thursday evening. Going camping. So will update the scoreboard before I leave, then once I get back.

    Still more than enough time to join the competition and see how much outdoor fun you can squeeze in during the month. Set yourself a personal challenge and join the fun. Just post your times and see where you stack up!

    Hi all,
