  • @Cindyk4919 That talk of your "stash" made me flash back to the '70s when it meant something quite a bit different than a bowl of clementines!!! My oh my how the times have changed!! I have two of three days done on the orange challenge. Not much chance of doing anything with the videos until the weekend. Keep up the good…

  • Hello team 2!! I joined team 2 late in the last race and now I'm back for more! My name is Mark and I live in Southern California. One hour from the desert, beach or snow this time of year. I've lived here my entire life and still can't believe how lucky I am and how many opportunities there are for outdoor activity. I…

  • Completed challenge 2, 140 sumo squats. I wasn't on the team when this challenge was first issued, but it sounded like a good one for a hotel room all week ( quiet and you don't have to lay on the floor).

  • Finished the second time through the abs videos. Now to complete 140 sumo squats. Go Team 2 Beat!

  • @Joanna2012B that many stairs AFTER a spin class?!?!? You're a rock star!!!
    in TEAM TWO Comment by Mark_ December 2016
  • Stairs are done!! Did some of them during the week at the hotel, then a bunch in Hollywood this morning ( pics follow ) and found myself 168 steps short so I went to the garage, got out the ladder and knocked them out!! Feels good to have that behind me!! Hope all is going well with the rest of you! Enjoy your weekend!

  • 50 minutes on the treadmill + 10 extra points for watching those music videos... never did like that song. Not a Simon and Garfunkel fan. Also, completed watching / trying my best to follow along with the videos. Pathetic as it was!!! But I did it!!! Going to Hollywood on Saturday to complete the stair challenge. Found a…

  • I've been walking / hiking in the hills behind our house with my wife lately... here are some pics I took along the way... everything is brown because of the extreme dry spell we've been going through in Southern California. A month from now it'll all be green!!

  • Thank you all for welcoming me to the team!! Started in on watching / following the videos. Thank goodness I was alone... you would have burned as many calories watching me from the laughter!! I was under my calorie goal for the day so I'm 1/5 the way done with that one. Still trying to figure out how / where I'm going to…

  • I'm just starting week 9 and I was really worried about the long runs too. No need to worry. You CAN do it. I would advise you to actually go out and run instead of doing the whole thing on a treadmill. It can be done both ways, but the treadmill didn't quite give me enough prep to do the same run outside. I'm using an app…
