    I finally hit 199 yesterday and that's where I had to be to be cleared to run again. Of course PT is done to for my torn plantar fascia tendon. So this is absolute perfect timing for me to start running again!! So excited!!!

    @Melodieccurn for the walk/run challenge can I include steps/distance for my everyday if I track this? Or is this extra on top? Thanks

    Yes you can. This is a different measurement but your minutes still count.

    I found the below information on a Precor Elliptical. If this is my model, can I convert my elliptical to miles for roadblock 2 or does it have to be actual walking/running?

    The EFX stride length is approximately 28 ¼ inches (2.356 feet). Therefore, it will take approximately 2241 strides to equal 1 mile.

    I'm also curious about that. The elliptical I use at the gym also give me the distance I'm doing. I thought I could use those miles for the roadblock. (?)

    Is roadblock 2 all or nothing? It'd be great if we could do a percentage on the points if we cannot reach the 26 miles but I totally understand if it's all or none. Thanks for everything Melodie.

    @Melodieccurn - Can you please address this question as well as if we can convert elliptical strides to miles for roadblock 2? I am trying to figure out whether to keep missing out on my regular workouts to try to get some miles in or not. Thanks!!

    It is all or nothing. Elliptical miles will count .

    I did the kettle bell video yesterday and I loved it! I think i will do it multiple times this week. The kettle bell is such a great workout and burns a ton of calories in a short period of time!

    Yes! I will never go back to the 200s . It's amazing just mentally how good you feel seeing the one versus the two on the scale.

    The kettle bell works on your whole core. There is a ton of videos on you tube. I want to take a class in it if I can find one around here .

    Sorry to say that I won't be doing the kettlebell challenge as all that dynamic motion will be too hard on my joints. I did the figure 8 squats at the beginning but can't do the shoulder stuff.

    I am in a thumb splint this week due to a tendon issue, but I got through the kettlebell challenge using a tiny weight. I will have to go back and do it later with something more challenging.
