Me likey....  question though - how do you get two columns on your log page at the top?  Can't quite figure that one out...

D001 - 2009-11-01 9:00 PM <--- I *am* "General consumption."

skarl - 2009-11-01 9:25 PM Love the name Cold Turkeys!

Had a great ride today in the sunshine -- weird riding in shirtsleeves when there's still lots of snow on the ground.  Really nice that they plow the bike trails.

Thanks for doing the team roster thingy -- I'm going to copy and paste now, then go to bed & it's only 7:30 -- weird but I'll start the week rested

You might want to wait until after we get the link for the spreadsheet.

This was the problem. My children are grown and we gave all the candy to the trick or treaters( what was left of it after I got to it)...THEN I WENT TO WORK.....there were at least 5 different bowls of candy for general consumption!!!!! I have no will power. I am glad I am off for  3 days!!!!

I feel ya.  At work this weekend it was

Friday: candy
Saturday: more candy
Sunday: even more candy AND doughnuts

I think half my calories this weekend were in the form of sugar.

fifthcircle - 2009-11-01 2:35 PM HOWDY! Sorry I'm late to the party...... nothin' new there I'm Kurt. 31, no kids, no excuses! Running 3x per week, strength 3x per week. Gotta get rockin by Turkey Day for a 6mi run with some of my family. Just a fun run, but apparently my Brother-in-law is fast. I had no idea, since he's a truck driver and I've never known him to really exercise. My sis tells me he ran a 22min 5k....I'm not that fast! It's been a long time since I did a challenge here. My friend Scott (Slickster) should be chiming in anytime soon. He's just 25min from me here in Nebraska. He's a punk, so don't take any crap from him!!! Measly 2mi run on tap tonight....I think I need new shoes....and a trip to GRAND CAYMAN!

D001 - 2009-11-01 4:58 PM Just four? I *wish* I'd just had 4....

I guess I missed that.

I'm attaching the roster as an rtf file but you can expect there to be new additions to the roster over the next few days.

annabananamc - 2009-11-02 5:05 AM OK - 25 minutes of yoga and that felt GOOD! Now, my intro - My name is Ann or Annabanana or other derivations of that. I am almost 48, mother of an 8yr old son, and live in central FL. This year I returned to work full-time in a new career as a middle/high school teacher in a Montessori school. I have 9 students from 12-16 years old. In my previous incarnation I was a computer consultant/web developer, and still run my small consulting company on the side. I never worked out at all until my 30s. 30-35 I took up cycling, and did touring mostly, including some multi-day tours. 35-40 I was traveling for work, and switched to running out of necessity. I am the world's best definition of tortoise - slow and steady - so I moved quickly into endurance running, and ran many trail ultra-marathons. Just before 40 I had to cut back in order to make a baby (so they said) and then was put on no exercise while my son was cooking in the oven. After he was born I juggled exercise in whenever I could, having my up and down years. I moved to FL and took up multi-sport because it's just too dang hot to run long all year. I did a few sprints and Olympic distance tris. A couple of years ago started a downward spiral as I headed into menopause. That has knocked all the wind out of my sails for the past two years, and my exercise has been hanging on by my fingernails and doing stuff here and there. I've felt like I have had a total body/mind/spirit makeover from the inside out and at often times have felt possessed by alien life forms. That seems to be settling down now, and here I am heading towards 50 - 20lbs more than I wanted to be and so dang busy I cannot figure out how to make the time to exercise regularly. I know there is time in there to do it, so I'm hoping that the challenge will do it's usual job of kicking me into gear. I've participated in challenges here and on other boards before, and it always does the trick, so here I am to join you and get back to working out - COLD TURKEY STYLE!!! Looking forward to getting to know you all better as we get through this great month of November! Annabananabrain

Great to meet everyone!

Sounds like we have a very busy team -- anyone have time to be captain?
