TEAM TWO

To ALL TEAMS: I have started to verify Challenge #1. What I am finding is that many people are leaving out the "brief description of where you live". Also, there are some people who are doing a great job, but aren't marking it on the spreadsheet. A few are claiming points, without making any post. I will try and finish tomorrow, as it seems most players have shown up.0

@Brittanypomales - please check the spreadsheet, I don't think you have claimed the points for challenge #1
@jenilla1 - they are almost always all or nothing points. If there were to be partial credit, they would have that in the instructions. Unfortunately for this week, you will have a 0 for challenge #1, but it is not impacting the ability for the remainder of the team to get their points. All will be well...let's just work on getting as many challenge points and minutes in and that's the best we can ask for!!2 -
@MissionEnforcer
I'll try this again ...lol
My name is Tami I live in Napa California famous for being wine country
We even have our own spot at California Adventure (Disneyland). Fall is probably the best time to visit as the leaves are falling from the vines and the different colored leaves make it beautiful .i have no recent picture to share as I have been at work all week. Sorry .
Hope everyone had a great day1 -
@MissionEnforcer I think I missed the brief description part. I live in a suburb of Denver at the bottom of the glorious foothills/mountains. My neighborhood is older and full of trees. Most of the trees now are as tall as the houses or a little taller, and are turning colors. I live within walking distance to most things, including most of my family. I just moved here a few months ago and am loving it. I used to live on the east side of Denver on the plains, where you had to drive to everything.
@lbenson2006 I think the eating thing was a onetime thing. yesterday I had no problems saying no to all the snack foods, including the yummy ice cream the BF ate. I did save room for the chocolate milk that was required for the 45 day challenge.
Good job everyone getting those numbers in. Still trying to figure out how to get the drumming in. I wish I had speakers on my computer. I might have to borrow head phones from the kids. I have completed 3 of the 5 water days.0 -
@MissionEnforcer
I live in between the foothills and beach between LA and San Diego. My place is at the base of the local mountain which means I am always running uphill to finish my runs unless I can hit the local beach paths. The weather is changing on a dime this week (rain on Monday, wore a ski jacket to my youngest goalie training on Tueday and mid 90's today).
I haven't sent out friend requests because everyone got to it before me, I have accepted friend requests from all my teammates.
Hope this clears my 10 points :-)1 -
@twinmom_112002 don't forget to add the 10 points to the sheet.0

It will probably be red for a bit until Mission Enforcer gets a chance to check again. I wouldn't start worrying until maybe tomorrow afternoon.

I am a 52 yo male from Central Connecticut, I am well into my second career in nursing. I live just across from the linear Do most of my exercise their, on top of the 3-5 miles I wal;k during the average work day, trail, old railroad tracks converted to a walking path.3 -
Double checked, friends with all of team 2, less the one who opted out.0

Okay, I just finished the video's and then googled a few more to do! I think my gym just started doing these classes as well... i'm gonna have to look into them
I'm at 3/5 for water right now. I need 85 ounces a day but normally drink about 96 regardless!
I want to apologize if i seam absent. I'm really not... I check in regularly but I don't always comment. Right now i am super busy with work, sports, and Halloween planning
This is my favorite holiday so i tend to go a little overboard. As for the spreadsheet, I can only access on the desk top computer. I'll try to get on here a little more often but please know I'm not abandoning the team. Just busy with life

One is 11 and the other is 10. I am very excited about this challenge!!! Happy to see some friends here and ready to make new ones. I believe that people should build each other up not tear each other down.
@MissionEnforcer I already introduced myself, does this still count?
@MissionEnforcer I tagged you in this a few days ago. I notice my challenge is still in red. Please advise if I need to re-do my Hello post?0 -
Doing my best to get in an hour of 'exercise' after working overtime today. I have the energy but my muscles ache from circumstances at work out of my control. Have gotten in my water goal for water challenge 4 out of 7 days so far, this is more plain water than I usually drink. Fills me up. Off to do some Abdominal exercises during the Green Bay Packer game.0
-
Well, I've done a lousy job as leader again...lol! I skipped the gym again today, but it was because I have had a horrible headache all day that just won't go away. I'm glad that my morning workout is decent numbers but when I see your guys commitment to getting more numbers in, I feel bad.
I will hopefully be getting my 2 workouts in tomorrow...I hope! Fridays are usually really busy for us at work. I'm planning on going in Saturday because I am so far behind. I'll try to treat it like a regular work day and get up and workout before I go in. My water has been good this week, so by the end of tomorrow I should be able to log those points...as I think it sounds like many of you will also! 3 -
I definitely want to throw you all some kudos for keeping our spreadsheet caught up...it is amazingly helpful to have a good assessment as to where we stand. It looks like many of these teams have some members who can put up some amazing times. All I ask is that we do our best. Heck yeah, I want to win, but I also don't want any of you pushing so hard you get hurt or demotivated and want to drop out! The other thing I've noticed is that some of the teams might already have some MIA members and so far, we are still 21 strong!! You guys are amazing, keep it up!! We are almost to Reykjavik!! I imagine once we have through today logged, we will have surpassed our destination! If I don't make it back in here (I'm hoping for an early bed), have a great night!!4
-
Oh yeah, the only reds left are @Annampea, @lynnjano, and @seylerg344. I'll try to double check your tags when I get a chance to see if I can figure out why we're not changing yet. @Brittanypomales - like Jen said, you still need to add your 10 points for that challenge. If you want us to put it in there for you, please just let us know and we will be happy to do so. We just are not allowed to go randomly adding minutes or points for our team members.
Thanks!!0 -
Hi team 2! I am in Disney right now and am having trouble accessing the spreadsheet on my phone could someone fill it in for me? I walked a total of 180 minutes today! If someone could post this in my spot for today I would be very grateful!! Thanks team two!!! 4

Put your walking in the spreadsheet! Hope you are having a great time. If you can, sometime between now and Sunday, can you try tagging Mission Enforcer and giving a brief description of your town in PA? That's the only thing I can figure is missing on your challenge 1. Thanks!!1 -
We are so close...just 116 minutes shy of Reykjavik!! 4

I have tried to work on the water challenge and it's a no go for me. When you spend you work week in an elementary school classroom, running to the bathroom from all the water is not going to happen. I have increased my overall water ibtake, just not enough to meet my daily quota. @lbenson2006, I would appreciate some help on earning my 10 pts for introduction. I will be running around back and forth to Scout camp and will check as soon as I can this weekend! Go team 2!!2

I can only imagine what it would be like if you were having to run to the bathroom all the time, the kids would have a field day.
As for the challenge 1, I couldn't locate where you posted an introduction including a brief description of beautiful STL and tagging Mission Enforcer. If you get a chance, please take a moment to tell him and the rest of Team 2 what makes your neck of the woods great!! Have a great weekend with the scouts!!1 -
As of right now, we are 11 miles shy of Reykjavik! Once we get there, we get 50 points for completing this leg of the race, which would get us to only about 20 points behind 1st place. It's still a close race, we can do it!!3
-
I just logged my minutes and we've made it to Reykjavik! Nice work everyone!
I'm still good with my water 4/4 days so far. Only have one video left to do and then I'll be finished with challenge #2.
Tomorrow I should have some good mileage (minutes) to log. It's mountain biking day!

Ah! I wasn't sure if the challenge part were numbers we filled or had to be put in by the "moderator". I will update my challenge,

We are tied for first!! Great job you guys!! 6

I should put in some good miles today. In addition to my run, my classes will be outside all day walking around hunting stuffed condors. Which means I will be walking around all day making sure that all they are doing is hunting stuffed condors :-)2

hey everyone, I was MIA yesterday due to work stresses, Dr appts and then a very big need for sleep. I was able to complete my drumming and chants yesterday but that is about all I could do. My body was saying absolutely no more than that. My 2 yoga classes on Wednesday sent it over the edge i think. but I am gong to try to be back at it today, we will see how my body wants to function. Still a little sore. Oh and I am currently 4/5 out of my water requirments for the week, yeah water is my friend and I drink a ton of it so no problem there.
@MissionEnforcer it appears that I was one of the ones that have not yet given a little description of my town that I live in. So here we go
I live in Moreno Valley, Southern California. Its a smaller town, definitely not as big as LA. But we do have a population of about 200k, and this city was named one of the faster growing cities in CA a couple years in a row. The citty is just now starting to get with the program and putting in dedicated bike lanes and they also have started a biking challenge. We have a few hiking trails since we have a lot of foothills around. We don't get much rain and the weather is pretty hot during the summer. We average about 90+ during the summer and in the winter its an average of about 70. Yeah I only mention 2 seasons, cause I swear that is all that SoCal has it 2. I am so jealous of those of you that have your 4 seasons!!!

@MissionEnforcer
Ok. I'm still in the red for Hallo,
here's hoping third time is a charm.
I'm Lynn, 59 YO, and appears that I am the oldest on Team 2. Married for 29 years next week, mother of two awsome children, daughter 27YO biomedical eng phd and son 26YO structural eng masters...yup I'm bragging cause that took dedication and hard work, and it paid off, similar to eating exercising etc is to being healthy. I grew up in a beautiful quiet suburb 20" north of Boston and still live there two doors from my dad. I love life and especially mine, and I am grateful to God everyday for all the blessings bestowed on me, even the hardships...makes you appreciate the good times.

@lynnjano The only problem before, was the lack of "a brief description of where you live". The picture made up for that.
Everybody, I know this all seems like "nitpicking", but we want to get everyone in the habit of reading the "Challenges" carefully, in their original form. They will be included in the Weekly Race Announcements, on the Main Group Thread, and will be released by 9pm (hopefully) each Sunday Evening Pacific Time. The Name of the each week's leg, at the top of the spreadsheet, is also a Link to the current Weekly Announcement.1
