TEAM EXPLOSIVES: CHALLENGE OF THE LIVING DEAD - PART 2 [CLO

Great job xcountryguy, you are almost done with your miles! I'm really impressed! Keep up the great work!

As for me, I will be doing no miles today...I am sooooo sore! I'll be sure to do more airplanes though to up our team %! Then I'll get back to running tomorrow.

It looks like I'm not getting any more time in tonight, as my son has a baseball game and we have to be at the field at 4:30....

Did 2.3 miles on the elliptical w/ cardio push.
Did .5 on the treadmill... warmup for the elliptical. I find if I get on the elliptical 'cold', my thighs are killing me that night. Anyone else experience this?
so 2.8 miles total.

Also did 30 airplane poses.

So, totals:
9.1 miles
40 airplanes

I'm so proud of everyone, keep up the good work!


Sorry I'm not as involved in the thread like before, but I'm still trying to work out some kinks with the challenges, I don't want there to be any confusion.



I'm still missing a few starting weights from some people, but I'll be sending messages out. I just need some starting weights so we can award points out accurately at the weigh in.


I'll try to be more active in the thread again, I just gotta go to work soon. Keep up the great work, guys!

Monday: Couldnt find the new challenge post
Tuesday: 3.6miles fast walking with a couple small bursts of jogging. 40 airplanes
Wednesday: 3.7miles fast walking with longer bursts of jogging. 40 airplanes.

I also did walking in the store, and walking around my boyfriends property, i wish i could tell how far those amounts add up to, as well as the 15trips to the bathroom a day after 25+ cups of water (as well as the 6trips to the kitchen to refill the waterbottle)...

Outside of this challenge Ive also been gardening last night, and later tonight (and tomorrow) at my boyfriends in preperation for a bbq.. and some mowing etc im sure is in my future--one more walking activity that i cant calculate into miles lol.

Goals for the rest of the week:

Friday: I'll try to walk a couple of miles in the morning at the rec center, then I can probably pull off another 4 mile bike ride but not a major run or I'll be too sore for Sat. 40 airplanes
Saturday: 5K!! (3.1 miles) 40 airplanes
Sunday: Finish the 25 miles, so somewhere around 4-6 miles. 40 airplanes

I might be able to do this after all!!!!!



I took my 4-year-old with me on my bike ride today (I've only taken him on short rides prior to this). I have a Co-Pilot, a special 1/2 bike that attaches to mine sort of like a tandem bike. I was surprised by how much more of a workout it was to be pulling that thing (and him) around.

I feel bad. I'm about to be screwing this up. I twisted my ankle (that I have broken before and have had surgery before) and it's swollen and messed up. I had done some stuff prior, but not a lot. Hopefully it heals soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not doing to well on the 25 miles. Temperatures are over 110 and I have no access to exercise equipment indoors. I did exercise but it was an hour of water aerobics that does not count. Will have to see if the temperatures go down so I can finish strong, sorry!

Thurs 2 miles

Week total thus far:
14.5 miles
30 airplanes.

Fri: 4.1miles, 40airplanes

Total: 15miles, 160 airplanes.

No more walking for me, doing that amount already beyond pushed my physical ability..tomorrow im doing a circuit training workout, sunday, monday& tues have to be rest days. I really hate the airplanes, but I will do 120 more so that I have done all required.

Height: 5'4
Age: 29
Starting Weight: 198.8 (since I joined MFP at least)
Challenge Start Weight: 180


My Goals for this Challenge:
1) Continue to strengthen my bad ankle and work on balance. (Broke my left leg near the ankle in '09. It is getting better, but still stiffens up and makes me limp from time to time. Wreaked havoc on my balance. Currently relearning to trust it for single leg poses and maneuvers. Only been able to run for the first time in the last few months.)
2) 1 lb a week weight loss; fit into size 14 jeans by the end of the challenge.
3) Survive the Zombie Apocalypse!!!

Didn't do any miles today.... was too busy putting away my lawn furniture and putting everything in the basement up high. Did manage to do a few airplanes (20), however - I do enjoy those and they are easy to squeeze in. I am planning on doing C25k tomorrow and the elliptical on Sunday.

So, overall totals:
12.3 miles
80 airplanes
