Blagels - 2008-11-03 7:19 PM Hi Team! My name is Blake and I enjoy cute girls, long walks on the beach and Sesame Street. Good luck all, and let there be plenty of trash-talking this month! PS - esc is a hottie...

I was starting to wonder where you disappeared to.  Good luck this month.

Yeah, mate... just been so busy lately! Having a rough time finding opportunities to log into BT, especially whilst I'm at work. I'm definitely still around though -- not going anywhere.

A job that doesn't support a BT addiction?  Maybe I should have a talk with them.

True...

Guess you need to learn better time manaement skills.

Sadness... My days are crazy at the moment. I wake up at 6:30 to run, and don't get home until 8 or so, then have to eat dinner. Guess I could stay up later, but I tend to pass out around 9:30 or so.

Tough life!

I'm not complaining ... It's all by choice! I love it, to be honest. I love hard work.

I know, I have seen your logs.  Though not recently.  Maybe next month they will slip up and put us on team together again.

We all have our motivations   And you got to bed early -- double bonus!

Hi Ralph!  If I can remember how to do the team roster (short term memory ain't what it used to be, and it was never good) I'll add your real world name. 

It's gonna be a great month!

Hi Jana! Great job getting the workouts in when the little ones are asleep

esc - 2008-11-04 11:38 AM Got out for 1.5 hrs on the bike today.  I wish the beautiful weather didn't have to come to an end!  It looks like one more day of 70s and sunny then it's back to the cold and rain.

Hey, that sounds like our forecast - oh wait, the rain is supposed to come tomorrow

Nice ride

 I did go to bed early   I'm about to go run now. Run the 2 blocks to my polling place to turn in my mail in ballot (finally decided yesterday who I was going to vote for) and then run a few laps around the park. Its so nice right now, but wx man says its going to get cold and nasty this week

I hate winter, no matter the place.

what if it was like say in Hawaii?

On task 2 days in a row: 

11/3 25 min run in the am & 5 min push ups after work (ouch!)

11/4 30 min on the trainer watching t.v. (not nearly as much fun as outside)

I REALLY wouldn't have gotten on the trainer last night if it wasn't for the challenge - So - THANKS!!

I am going to hit the trainer 30 minutes tonight.

I have a few questions about the challenge:

1. If you run 30 minutes and then after you run you strength train for 30 minutes does that count for 2 sessions?

2. If I train on Saturday but not able to logon what happens to that session? Does it count toward next week or the current week?

Thanks.

I would be willing to make the sacrifice and spend my winter in Hawaii, if you're offering

I did yoga this morning -- that's hard work!  Hoping to encourage my knee to stop being such a pisser --  I'd really like to run one of these days and so would my dog.  

Have a great Wed. everyone!!!

We're here for ya Kim -- nice job!!

1.It is a hit or miss system, so only one point allowed per day and only if you get the 30 minutes required for that day. (from challenge organizer tlnewman's challenge summary)

2. Not sure, but I think it would count for the day you did it, even if you can't log it right away.  But if you already have your 5 or 6 points for the week, it wouldn't count anyway, so it wouldn't be an issue, so the moral of the story is get your points early in the week and don't worry about it 

Thanks for the clarification!

Happy Wednesday!

I am thinking blow-off day......

For the rest of you whom are dedicated, have a great session

I only went half-way with the blow-off.  Missed my swim this morning.  I am, however, going to run this evening.
