If cycling is included, I can take on at least another 10 miles. My *typical* days are not consistent, so I have to just aim for a total mileage above whatever my normal weekly mileage. So I am aiming for 25 miles of walking/running this week total. I can count *extra* bike rides as any that are not a commuting ride. And I can easily cover 10 of those. If you can't fine anyone to take on the remaining five miles let me know. I can bike 15 miles in one weekend ride on the trail easily.
SarahRuth - you're a BEAST!!! hahahaha.
Thanks!! I'll be posting updates to show where we are on miles completed each day..... I might need ya!!

song2sing in a nutshell!!
I am a wife, and my husband Dale and I have been married for almost 34 years! I have 3 children who all married to wonderful spouses, giving us a grand total of 6 kids!
Grandma of two children Hallie age 6, and Colby (2 in December)! And our youngest son's wife will deliver a little one in January! I love being called, "Grandma Gingie" (I collect gingerbread thingys). Grandmahood is, by far, THE best job I have ever had!! The benefits are priceless and the perks are amazing! I have a joy beyond measure in my heart and soul as a Grandma! I am thankful that God had such a great plan to give parents a renewed and joyous outlook on life with those "grandblessings", especially after their children leave the nest and the house is quiet!!!
Zone 23 calls me on Sundays to teach the 2 and 3 year old class at my church. I also work as an Administrative Assistant at a denominational office throughout the week.
Enjoy playing with my grandchildren, walking on the beach, quiet times, shopping and vacations with family, traveling, photography and drinking up God's beauty that surrounds me!
Love how this site has helped me to grow confident in who I am as a very important individual. I am accountable to no one but myself, and have needed this discipline (supplied by MFP) for many years! It is feeling good to be healthy and I thank all those who encourage me each and every day!0 -
When I first got married an aunt of mine gave me my very first taste of home recipe book. Everything I cooked out of there seemed to turn out well. This is still a favorite recipe. It freezes and warms over well and can even be modified to go in the crock pot to be ready when you get home from work!!
Pork with three peppers
Ingredients
1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1/4-inch strips
2 medium onions, sliced and separated into rings
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon canola oil

Everybody's recipes sound soooo good.... mmmmm. I can't wait to try them!!0 -
Diary complete and under calorie goal
8 glasses of water and counting
Swimmers presses done
Ran 4.1 miles today, took me 51 minutes. I usually run for at least 30 minutes, and sometimes push for 3 miles. So that's definitely an extra mile+.
So, 4.1 miles towards my goal of 25 miles... added to the 3.8 from yesterday. Means I am at 7.9 miles. 17.1 miles left to go. Haven't been able to walk at work, it has been pouring rain outside. It's making this goal particularly challenging... LOL.0 -

Sorry to say i did not get to do the run had to work and i did 63 minutes of aerobics and the swimmers press then had to take care of dinner for the family not enough time for it all. I was trying to do it at work during lunch but did not get to go to lunch on time to do it had patients in the chair.0 -
50 Squat kicks - done!
75 Swimmers Presses - done (I Like these!! Great for my upper arm "granny" flab!!)
1 extra mile done at work on breaks!!
25 sit-ups - done
10 glasses of water
Came in under calorie goal!! Yay!!
I know I still have to get my recipe posted too - I might not be able to get to that until Saturday... I won't forget - I promise!!
@TNGirlyGirl - nope, the Challenge week is from Monday - Sunday.... but we should be ok with miles if everybody does what they "pledged" we should have enough... No worries.
@EdithRenee - you can do the "extra" mile tomorrow... remember, we can pick something up on another day - remember? I'll leave it open for now, but let me know when you get a chance to do it.
SarahRuth and Xtine - YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!! WOW!!!! But, I'm confused with your miles you stated for the 100 mile team challenge. I show that you both committed to 10 miles (each), but don't know what your "normal" routine includes. When you give your stats on here, just tell me how many miles you did toward the goal, not the total that you did (otherwise I'm not sure what is going toward the 100 mile total). Sorry if I'm not very clear - it's alot to keep track of!!! I'll send you guys a message so I can understand how you are keeping track. Thanks so much!!
I love you guys!!! You're the GREATEST TEAM !!!!!
Going to bed now,,, I'll get the rest of your stats tomorrow!!0 -
I did the swimmer's presses (all 50!), drank my water and was under calorie goal. Only got about a half mile walk in because of weather. Went to walk on a break and it started to rain! I moved pretty quickly to get back to the office before I got soaked!
I don't normally ride a bike, but was thinking about it. Maybe being able to add it to the challenge miles will help me make a decision! I will let you know how many extra miles I get to do.
I hope everyone had a great day!!0 -
for yesterday 8/9/2011; I came in under calorie goal. Ran one extra mile. Drank 8 glasses of water. No challenge exercises.0
-
I am adding the strengthing exercises to my bike riding. I have problems with some the exercises because I have a problem with my foot and need surgery but keep putting it off. I hope that I can keep up with everyone even with that problem.
It is great to have someone that is there for you. I was under my caloric goal yesterday.0 -
