Happy Monday, team! Starting off in Leavenworth, Washington and crossing through Canada and over half of the Atlantic to our destination - Reykjavik, Iceland! That’s 5,621 miles and the longest leg of the race. Assuming we have all 21 of our original teammates and nobody’s dropped out, that will come out to 268 miles [exercise minutes].
Challenge #1 for 10 points – Let’s Say Hallo in Iceland – Part 1: Friend all of your teammates. Wow, it’s like I knew that was coming!
Part 2: Tag MissionEnforcer in a post here and state what town/providence/state/country you’re from and give a brief description of where you live.
Challenge #2 for 10 points – Drum to a Viking Beat! – Follow along with the Viking Chant in the video three times. Next, do each of the three exercise videos 3 times, or you can try them 2 times and then do a routine of your own.
Your minutes used on your challenges can always be used for your exercise minutes!
Challenge #3 for 5 points – Fill Up at the Foss! – Drink half of your body weight in ounces at least 5/7 days this week.
Again, I cannot stress enough how important the extra credit points are! Almost everyone will make it to the destination each and every week, the extra credit points is what pulls you ahead of the game. You have 7 days to get these done, work them into your schedule and remember each and every one can be modified!

@MissionEnforcer Challenge #1
Again, I'm Ashley. I'm from McHenry, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. We've got hot and humid summers and cold and bitter winters. Fall is my favorite time of year, the changing leaves and beginning of crisp weather, leggings, scarves, and boots are my favorite wardrobe choices! It's been unseasonably warm the past couple days and I'm ready for the fall weather to come. Of course shortly after that I'll be shoveling snow off the driveway with my hubby and complaining about the -40 wind chills
I've lived here my entire life and it seems as though it's gone from a quiet town to a busy one with lots of traffic all of the time.
The most unique part of McHenry is we have one of the few outdoor movie theaters left. We just love going there summer nights with our son and even bringing the puppies along too! It's a great time and I've got memories of being there since I was little.
And of course - Go Cubbies!!

Here's the link to the spreadsheet - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sRqt4GvOnfbAztyZcNaolQQoCAX5SRCZHabOfAKUZec/edit#gid=1480039755
I'd like to ask you to please update the spreadsheet as often as possible so we can see how we're doing for the week and if we need to pick up the pace. Each exercise minute is equal to one mile.0 -

Hi All! My name is Lisa, I am 45 & I live near Windsor, Ontario, Canada. We are actually south of Detroit, MI, and close to the most Southern tip of Canada which is at Point Pelee provincial park. Our area is VERY flat, no hills to speak of, which makes running & biking pretty easy. We live very close to Lake St. Clair, which is usually where I run most mornings. Here is a picture that I took on a run this summer.

Hey friends! I just went through and sent a friend request to all those that hadn't already requested me. Don't make me come after you :P @MissionEnforcer
I grew up in southern California but have lived in northern Utah for nearly 15 years now. It is gorgeous around here this time of year. I've included some pictures below (couldn't choose just one!) from recent runs near my home. My area is a big valley in the shadow of the Wasatch Mountains. It's pretty dry and desert-y but it's home. I work as an office administrator, have been married for ten years, and have two boys, ages 8 and 3. Life is good!

@MissionEnforcer My name is Darci and I live in Colorado. I'm about 20 mins north of Denver in the town I grew grew up in. I've only been back here for about 4 years though. The weather here at this time of the year is bipolar according to my 13yo daughter. I think most would tend to agree. Last week we had days in the high 80s, this week low 60s. I don't watch the news/weather so I'm never quite sure what I'm waking up to. I love being able to see the mountains on my walk but wish I lived a little closer to them. Then again I'm not a huge fan of snow and the closer you are the more snow you get.

What's up team 4?!!! I'm Lynn. 40, 2 adorable little boys who are 2 and 3 years old. I live in a suburb of St Paul, MN. But actually only about 10 min north of minneapolis. Lived here my whole life. I absolutely love this state! We have every season imaginable! I don't like the cold, but I can't even complain about it too much. Because we also get days like today where it's mid October, gorgeous, a bit humid, leaves are beautiful colors... seriously. If you haven't visited this state, you need to at some point. Just not July/August because it's like South states humid and hot. And not January/ February because your nose sticks together when you breath it's so cold.2 -

Hello to the newbies and returning members of team 4! My name is Dawn, I'm a 47 year old wife & mother if 3 teenagers ( 18 & 17 boys, 15 girl). This is my 4th challenge and I am very excited to get back on track and be accountable, which really works for me!
I live in a small rural town in La Salle , Manitoba, Canada, just south of Winnipeg! I have lived here all my life and have watched my small town grow from 1200 to 2200 in the last 5 years! It is a great place to raise my family !
The upcoming winter season is nicknamed "WinterPeg" ! It gets really cold in the winter with major wind chill and lots of snow! This makes it challenging to do outdoor activities, but also activities like snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, skating, curling can all be fun to do as long as the weather cooperates!
Cheering on our Winnipeg Jets helps pass the winter months! Go Jets Go!!

(How do you tag someone?) My name is Courtlynd. I'm 30 and live in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. I'm a full-time student and work part-time. Happy to be on the team.0 -
ABOUT CHALLENGE #1:Make sure all of the requirements have been met. All Teams have 21 players; some probably haven't shown up yet. Trying to "friend" them twice means over the period of the week, not the same day and not before the game started (which is today, Monday). There is no need to send a request to anyone who is already a "friend".
The purpose of this challenge is to start bonding as a team, get to know all of your team members and to get comfortable posting on your team’s thread. Until I can verify that everyone who's going to show up has done so, and enough time has passed to realistically establish those connections, points claimed for this challenge will not be verified. Unverified Points show up as "Red" until accepted. Once accepted they will turn "Black" and the points will appear in the "Totals" column.
Your post should be made on your particular team’s thread and needs to have @MissionEnforcer appear somewhere within that post (tagging). In this case just stick @MissionEnforcer (no spaces) by itself at the top of your post, or use it in a sentence (uh...maybe not). It doesn't show up as an E-Mail, but instead as a notification on my site.
NOTE: THIS POST IS NOT INTENDED TO BE DIRECTED TOWARD ANYONE PERSONALLY, AND IS BEING PLACED ON ALL TEAM THREADS. No puppies were harmed by the writing of this post!

My name is Tara. I also live in southern Ontario. Very close to the border of Detroit. So shopping a great, although our dollar is pretty crap right now. Our weather is unpredictable. Last week I sent my kids to school in fleece long-sleeve, pants and fall coats, today it's 80+. It can snow tomorrow. I love the 4 seasons. Glad to meet new teammates and see old ones back!
@SmashleyM914 I recently lost my fitbit one. I've had it for 3 years and I miss it. Will be getting another this week. Trying to decide on if I should upgrade to a wrist one. I'm not a big watch fan. So I'll be joining in challenges soon.1 -

Alright, official introduction time! @MissionEnforcer
I'm Shelby! I'm 24. I teach social studies to the best group of 7th and 8th graders ever. I'm also one and a half classes away from earning my masters in Teaching and Curriculum through Michigan State. I live in Northern Michigan, and I love it. I've never lived somewhere with a beach, and a lighthouse, and a car ferry, and I still get giddy thinking about it. I'm marrying my goofball of a fiance on June 24th of 2017. Then we are cruising to Alaska (and I'm not sure which I'm more excited about). I roleplay, cosplay, and play video games. The three important "plays." I was also in plays in high school, but that was a long time ago.
Anyway! Fitness stuff. I'm a yo-yoer. I drop 8 or 9 pounds, then gain them, then lose them, etc. Right now, I know what I am doing is right, and I'm trying to plow through and not give up. The scale goes weeks without moving, and I can't let that discourage me. I feel better, my clothes fit better, and I'm even being told I look better. That means a lot to me! It is really important that I look good in my wedding photos. I actually put off my engagement photos for almost an entire year because I was ashamed of how I looked. I'm taking them next week, and it still makes me anxious. I don't want to go through that next summer. As for workouts, I love walking and jogging. I do Zombies, Run, and C25K. I also love walking to audiobooks. I'm working on sprinkling in more core and strength. I have been in a few other challenges, the longest-lasting one being the Harry Potter challenge (can't seem to escape that one).
Here's my fiance and I.
Here's my lighthouse!!!!
Northern Michigan is super pretty.
Andddd here's me cheesing, because Transformers filmed in front of my house this summer.

Hi my name is Pam, I'm 49 years old and I am new to this challenge. I live a small town in southeastern Kentucky. We enjoy all of the four seasons, right now it's still like summer here. We've had temps in the 80's this week but in a few days it will be in the 60's. The trees are changing colors and the leaves1

@MissionEnforcer Hi to all. I am Lynn 56 and new to the challenge but very excited. I think this challenge will give me the push I need to get back on the fitness wagon. We bought a farm house that we are remodeling. I have no children at home but 1 daughter in New York. We live in a smaller town in SE WI which is great for walking. I think it is a 3 mile round trip to the subway or the Library. I love walking but have a desk job which is a bummer on the fitness level. I am also a Jillian Michaels junkie.2
