So the word "challenge" might better be changed to a "support blitz" :-)

progress and chatted about our personal lives.)


I wish there was a challenge whose goals matched mine. Maybe the
strength training one is something that I would participate, in the
sense that I know I need strength training, I do it, and yet I
struggle to do my daily exercises and not forget/become lazy about
them.


Why don't you start your own challenge then?

The weather yesterday was beautiful biking weather so several of the
patrolmen gathered for a 50 mile bike ride (good training for the
century). We've decided to continue biking over the winter when the
weather permits. Hopefully this will be a mild Ohio winter. We're
also planning some classes on bike maintenance and a well known local
nutritionist/cyclist is going to setup a couple classes on biking
specfic nutrition. Now I just need to sign up for the spinning
classes this winter. I checked into the schedule and a couple of them
will fit nicely into my schedule.

Very cool. I would like to know more about maintaining my bike too.

Tell you what - I'll wish the mild weather upon you and you think Deep
Snow Thoughts for me? G

Same here, Cynthia. I've found myself jumping on the treadmill more
often this week simply because I wanted to see another day of exercise
posted to the site.
I've exercise everyday since I started posting to the site and that's
a big improvement for me.

I love seeing those points add up and hitting that Compare tab. Whatever
works!

(and I'm bemused by feeling competitive - who knew? s)

When there's a challenge that everyone can join where they run a race
without proper training, shoes and nutrition, we'll let you know.

I find myself... say, I've walked 27 minutes and feeling tired or my
ankle hurting, going that little bit extra so I can log that 30
minutes. Or 40 or whatever.

I'm not feeling too competitive... though I like seeing that I am
keeping up reasonably in both my groups at 50 percentile or better.

Glad you like it!
