Subject: Need a "get my butt up and exercise in the AM" challenge
Hoping someone here can help me out big time.   I moved to Colorado late July and i haven't exercised with regular frequency since.   I usually exercise 3 or 4 days a week.....but nothing consistent.

I'm a RN who works 12 hour days and my days are usually 6am to about 8pm from leaving home to getting home.   If i don't exercise in the AM early, i won't exercise at all.   I have a 7 year old i want to spend time at night with, so exercising at night isn't much an option.

Therefore, i really need to get my butt out of bed early in the AM....say 5am'ish to get a run or swim in.   If i don't, then it ain't happening.  

So i need help!!!  Anyone have a challenge to get my butt up in the morning or something else to help!!

Ask Dee if you can join the Nov you-pick-it challenge.   Maybe you can be pro-rated to join a team.

Despite being an internet challenge, it has inspired me to run.  It seems to be re-invigorating my off season training.

Yes, I can put you on a team for the November Challenge, if you want. You can have from 1 to 4 goals for the month. Just set the goals based upon the days left in November.

Edited to add: OK, you're now on the Cold Turkeys team. I've added you to the spreadsheet, too. Here's what you'll need to do.
- Go to the Cold Turkeys team thread and say hello. I've already told them that you're joining their team.
- Read the first post on the Cold Turkeys thread. This will give you info about the challenge, and tell you how to put your goals on the team spreadsheet.

If you have questions, just ask on your team thread.

Welcome to the Challenge!
