Posted: Nov Sat 11, 2006 9:35 pm Post subject: another 600 minute exercise challenge |
|
|
I'm thinking about starting a 2nd 600 minute challenge. I did really good w/ the 1st one and so did my dh, and Sammy stuck w/ us also! So does anyone want in on a 600 minute challenge. The only rules are you need to try and doo 600 minutes of exercise between Nov 13-Dec 17. This is the equivelent of 30 min/day 5x a week. The exercise is your choice. Mine is walk/running and chicometrics
Would anyone like to join me and my dh???? We are starting on Monday Nov. 13 |

Well today we got out and walked at about 5:15 am--it is very dark that time of morning! Plus today was a very rainy, yucky morning (and day!) But we did it--it's nice to have someone to walk w/ again. We walked our usual route-about 2 miles. We'll see what tomorrow brings! |

| Hi, Mama. Count me in! It's misty drizzle this morning and perfect for a little exercise. Our weather has been too hot lately. But I feel autumn now and my energy level rising. Let's see if I can put some miles on my NB shoes. |

Hey Sammy--welcome again!!!! It's always fun to have a friend join in!!!
I thought we were going to be rained out this am and then I would have to go to my backup plan--but the weather held up. It was still damp and dreary--but not foggy, so me and dh did our 30 min walk and I did an additional 15 min walk w/ the dogs after the boys went to school. I think my right arm is getting a little bigger from the dogs pulling so much!!! |

| Today was an exact repeat of yesterday!!! Deja vu all over again! We'll have to see whats up w/ tomorrow. I have to take dh truck in for an oil change and it's supposed to be raining--so hopefully chicometrics will be the exercise of the day. |

| We took the dog for a nice long walk last night. I dusted off my dumbells and did an arm workout. Tonight the NBs go on the feet for a short walk/jog through the neighborhood. |

Sammy--was that you who a while ago said they were going to do a 5k soon? I have always wanted to do a 5k--maybe,just maybe I'll get up the nerve to do one in the spring.
Didn't get to do anything today but wait extra long for the truck to be finished at the dealer. they had to put in a brake cable and didn't expect it to take that long. I still owe time for work--one of the bad aspects of working at home! |

today we walked in the dark--saw a deer, but it was really to dark to see her. Then later on me and the doggies walked a little more. I had to go into the office today-payday and then I went to the new Walmart that opened-I must have walked and extra mile from where I parked to where I had to go in the store-and then I had to go back in a 2nd time for dh who I talked w/ after I left Walmart. I must remember next time to call him before- not after- I go in stores!!!! |

I didn't do anything today but get lost trying to get my middle boy to a bday party--and boy did we get lost, but eventully we got there!!! Now dh got some exercise in today--here's the story: Our oldest is allowed to hunt in NJ after he passed his hunting test, which he did!!! So today was youth day-only the youth are allowed to gun hunt-so he and dh went out at 4:30 am, go to there chosen spot and a little while later along comes a 3 pointer which my 10 yr old harvested!!! He was so excited and dh is so proud!!! Now they had to get the harvested deer to the truck so this was my dh's exercise today.
I told dh that tomorrow we are walking w/ the doggies in the am. |
