@hawkins410 I accept your challenge.

Another 109 minutes complete today and stair challenge done. I still can't access the spreadsheet from my phone so I will enter my minutes and challenge points from work tomorrow. Hoping to do the videos tomorrow.

Cheers to arriving team, you all rock!!

@wolvinnetje - your body weight will fluctuate up and down, sometimes for no obvious reason. I know how much it sucks, but try to remember to focus on the overall trend and not get to hung up in those day to day fluctuations.

So far it looks like I have been "farting around" longer than any of you Whippersnappers! So, I've got a dare for all Whippersnappers and Old Farts: Aim for 1000 minutes this week! That way no other team can outdo Team #1 in mileage!!!
Who accepts my dare???

I appreciate the motivation, but I can't. I just can't. Even during the summer when I'm working part time and am in the peak of triathlon training, I don't log 1000 minutes per week. I don't want to give a long winded explanation, so I hope everyone will just respect where I am and understand that I will give as much as I am able.

So, I managed spin class today. The last 15 minutes were tough and I had to cut back on the resistance, but I made it! I wasn't totally accurate in tallying my stairs today, but fortunately I have lots of stairs in my week so I'm not concerned if I forget to count a few.

very nice siteseeing pics!!!

Great job team in reaching the destination already! Nice pictures - looks like a lovely place.

I don't think I can get 1000 minutes in a week but I will try to get as many as I can. Tonight I did 72 minutes of running - group speedwork night with my running group. We did 3 sets of intervals of 3 min - 2 min - 1 min with 2 minutes recovery in between each. I felt better than I have in the last few weeks so it was a pretty good night for me. And I burned 666 calories, according to my Garmin Cold though! It's hard to adjust to it getting cold out again. I was adding and taking off layers and then adding them again.

Step progress is slow so far - I'm only on 141/770 steps. I was going to do some steps on the stadium before our workout but it was too cold and I didn't have the energy (plus there were maintenance people cleaning up around there and I felt too weird).

Tomorrow I will have to take on some videos and/or some major steps.

Good Evening (read that in my best dracula voice) I'm back home in Maryland after a great little mini vacation with the southern branch of the family. Before I had to go to the airport, I went out to Indialantic beach and walked the surf line for an hour and a half. I still have sand between my toes and salty skin, so I'm happy. Usually I would sit and read on the beach, but I was driving my dad's jeep and knew if I sat in the sand I would get it in the jeep and he wouldn't be happy about it, so I walked and enjoyed the time with my own thoughts.

I'm counting the steps on the walkway over the dunes, and the ones I took at the airport instead of the escalator, but I'm going to have to work to get the rest of them. I only have two steps in my house and I get dizzy stepping up and down on the same step over and over again. I'll try to use the ones at work - I have a meeting on the eighth floor downtown tomorrow - I'll try walking up.

Looks like everyone is doing great! I'll try to keep my minutes up, but not sure I'll make a thousand, I'm kind of weak from not being allowed to eat after 10pm... lol.

@mckelfam Hiking a waterfall sounds good!
