orange223 - 2008-03-25 5:12 PM Close call today!  After work, I was on our riding mower with our 6-year old in my lap.  We went up a slight, steep hill and we began to spin.  I pushed in the clutch to stop the gas and I didn't catch the brake with my right foot, we went backwards, only about 5 feet, hit the bottom of the little hill and the front reared up and we both went off the back of the mower.  The motor stopped (when you fall off the seat), we were both on the ground and it rolls on top of us.  His arm is between the steering wheel and the ground and the seat has me pinned.  I'm yelling for him to get out, I'm thinking of the hot motor, and he cant.  Somehow I push the mower up and he scampers out.  I don't remember how that happend nor how I worked the thing off of me.  Nor how I flipped it back onto its wheels.  He has some scratches on his arm but otherwise okay.  We started it, it ran, I looked at him, he at me, I got on, he climbed in my lap and off we went and finished the yard.  He asked me not to go on the hill again and I said for him not to worry.  I had on jeans and a sweatshirt, so I'm not scratched.  I imagine I'll be sore for tomorrow morning's swim.

Glad to hear that everyone is OK

Yay, Ive done it. I'm at 100%. Does that mean I'm not a Marshmallow?

I realy, really did not want to ride tonight. I wanted to sit and feel sorry for myself(NO real reason). But cos of this challenge I did and now I feel great. Thanks everyone.

I'm at 95% and some change.  I only have 15 miles to go with a hour and a half ride scheduled for Friday (tomorrow).  Won't be any problem to hit 100% tomorrow.

Waterdog - Good luck this weekend!  Looks like you have prepared yourself well!  Rock that HIM!

Way to go BondGirl!  Rocking the 100% already!!

ThanksCat,

Your right about the addict thing. This is exactly what I need to get me to where I want to be with this sport. I hate letting other people down but seem to let myself down alot with some pretty lame excuses.

I've signed up for the next months challenge and the April fools wt loss challenge. I'm hooked.

Ok... that's another 1 hour on the drainer for me (yes it's snowing again here... just take me out and shoot me... put me out of this misery). I am now at 87.67... the peeps are at 90.5%... I also noticed that Mesteren is OVER 100%... what a MAN!!!

Keep on rolling Peep Army!!!

Maybe we should check he is a man and not (as I sometimes suspect) a machine with a delightful personality

Serious Torben - Yay!

25 minutes on the worlds most horrible exercise bike.... not a fan of exercise bikes.. the seats are to wide, the angles are all wrong for good leg tracking and you just cant get into the forward position to push power...

This challenge is the ONLY reason I was on it at all! Unfortunatley though in other parts of myworkout  seem to have strained my calf again.... bleh!

Now at 66.67% - not too much more to go now!!! (fingers crossed my calf isnt any worse tomrorow!

Way to go Torben!!  Ahhh, Denmark... I was there once back in the mid-80s.  Have a safe trip!

I should be able to finish my challenge tonite before the Predators hockey game is on TV.

I'm up for next month's challenge too.  I want to get my numbers nailed down today at the office.

This is my first challenge and I am no SO addicted!  Must.... meet..... goals!!!!!!!

(Woot!  Woot!  Just made my 100th post on the board!)

Hi all,

I am also almost done with the challenge and have 15K to go and a spinning lesson planned for Sunday morning. But depending on how studying goes today I might also hop on the trainer later before work.

Hubby is gone for the weekend to get drunk with his friends so I can do whatever I like

It seems we are all going to reach 100% so how could it be possible not to win

Need to go and checkout the April Challenge.

BONDGIRL; I am also thinking about signing up for the April Fools Weightloss challenge. But still need to think about it as I will be in germany and flying from there for 10 days next month and  that will be tough foodwise. But maybe it keeps me accountable

CAT; I also hate those staionary trainers. The hotel I am usually in in Cologne has the worst one of them all. Its not even possible to sit on the seat as you keep sliding forward... don´t know for whom those seats were built

Have a great weekend everyone and let´s finish this

So, are we allowed to go over goal and have it count towards the challenge?  It's going to make a difference in our percentage as we have one person already above 100%.

Touchdown!  Or "Try" for our Aussies and our Kiwi!

I got my trainer time tonite and hit 101% of my goal.  I was in a slight taper this week with 2 rest days and a 3rd tomorrow before Sunday's race.  Ummm, looks like we may have a mudfest for raceday.  Yuck, only because I wear glasses.

Peep Army is at 91.79%.  ROLL, Peeps, roll!!!!!

I have one final ride scheduled for this month and it is 56 miles tomorrow.

That should put me at 107% for the month. Surely the last miles of this challenge are gonna be the sweetest
