    Day 3 done...and starting my pull up challenge today...yikes!! Lol. By now though, I am more excited than nervous!!
    On a side note, sign ups have begun for Amazing Race - Fall Fun. This challenge is a team based challenge that will go 8 weeks and begins on 10/17. Each week your team travels from one destination to another and the miles between the destinations is the number of minutes your team has to accumulate in exercise for that week. There are also mini challenges for bonus points. It is an awesome challenge that really helps if you need accountability and encouragement. I am captain of a team this go round and would really love some motivated and hopefully chatty people. From my experience, the teams that really bond and talk to each other seem to really excel.

    Sorry to hear that. Hope your knees improve. Take care

    Arthritis from years of abusing them working/standing on concrete and lifting too much, so likely won't improve. Still doing squats but a much lower number. After day 1 doing 50 knees were screaming on day two for my usual 8k walk/run. Good luck everyone!

    @DebbieNeedham1 You can request to be on my team and they should be able to honor that. Just post that in one of the threads and tag Hawkins410 and MissionEnforcer. I believe it will still be Team 2. That would be greatly appreciated. I am nervous with this being my first time as a captain.

    Jinxed myself...Gilad decided I needed to do some squats, so I didn't get off so easy. Interesting that the different exercises don't have the same rest days, that's a little weird.

    Yeah I know - I agree!! It would make more sense to have a total rest day!!

    Day 4= Squats-60, push ups-15, Plank - 1 min 15 seconds, crunches-35. I know it was supposed to be rest day for squat/crunches but I chose to do them anyways.
