First Month is OVER and Goals for Week 5

Great week everybody! We logged a record 176 miles! As a team, it was our best week yet!  I can't tell you enough how impressed I am with every one's efforts! I hadn't heard an update yet from Rory about if she drank her minimum water everyday.....

Highlights:

• Achieving our goals set last week (I hadn't heard an update yet from Rory about if she drank her minimum water everyday.)
• Personal records on mileage for Brian, Jeanette,
• Weight loss for Colleen and Brian!
• Rory proving you aren't cursed if you are named W.O.W.
• Ryan working out 3 times on Saturday to achieve his goal of 25 miles.

2 goals for Week 5:

1. Come up with another personal goal that will make you sweat a little more, push you a little more, or drink/eat better than last week.
2. In honor of April 29 - the upcoming wedding nuptials and to build some more camaraderie- I am challenging each of us to complete 4 sets of 29 of calisthenics of your choice this week. Try not to choose the easiest for you, but the one that will challenge you. Anyone game?

If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits.There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.

Week 3 in Review

As a team we racked up 123 miles!  YEAH! We are headed in the right direction again. Still slightly below the weekly goal mileage of 128, but I have a feeling WEEK 4 we'll be able to surpass this. Hopefully week 4 will be the first week were EVERYONE logs a little more hours/miles and we are all HEALTHY!! We are over 1/5 of the way to our goal!
Highlights:

• Brian and Colleen getting healthy and jumping back in the last 2 days to log more than 16miles.
• Colleen and Rory having a PR (personal record) for mileage logged.
• Melissa for being consistent in her work outs even with a chaotic schedule this week.
• Jeanette running 6miles on the treadmill. (Brian this will be you next week, right?)
• Welcome back Jonathan and Emily!

The WOW winner is also posted. Hopefully this week's winner will show that it isn't a curse to be given such an honor. The previous 2 winners have had less than stellar weeks that followed.

Last Chance.....and beyond.....

LAST CALL for Workouts for week 3!

It was a rough week between illnesses, semester craziness, and work craziness, but we have one more day. Don't worry about the miles, just get your heart rate up, break a good sweat. Remember why you are doing what you are doing - to lose weight, get in shape, feel better.....show yourself off in Dominican Republic.....

Also seeing if you want to join with me in making a goal for next week. It can be anything you want such as trying a new exercise class, running 4miles straight, working out for an hour every other day. And maybe it also includes a food aspect - eat more fruit and veggies, eat out less, drink more water.... If you are interested just post a comment to this post so we can hold you accountable. If you are successful make sure you have a reward for yourself at the end of the week!

Week 2 in Review

2nd Week
We had a slower week this week, but we know 2 of our teammates were still under the weather so next week we should be able to get back in the 3 digits for mileage again.

This week we logged 91 miles which is almost half of what we logged last week and didn't meet the minimum mileage of 128miles. The first week we definately set the bar high and saw what we are capable of. We still are on track though for attaining our goal.

W.O.W. has been awarded for the week.

Highlights for week 2:

• Ryan and Rory logging more mileage than their previous week.
• Brian running 4miles straight
• Colleen putting 2 hours in on Saturday to get 16miles for the week
• Melissa having fun working out on Thursday (playing in the snow)

Week 1 in Review

Great first week! Everyone definately did their part this week. Hopefully Rory is overcoming her sickness and can join us this coming week!

We needed 128 miles for the week and we did 158 miles! Only 1642miles more!

The WOW has been awarded for week 1.

A few changes....

To help me (and others checking) keep an accurate mileage I added a form titled CHECK-IN under Pages on the left. Hopefully this is easy and quick to fill out. Then you can click on the google spreadsheet under Stats of Superheros to see everyone's info. So you can fill this out now when you do a work-out or just weekly too.
Colleen or I will still post the weekly Log like this week and we can add our comments, jeers, support, complaints in the comments section there.
Make sense? Questions? Comments?

Some words from....

If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.


If you can't, you must. If you must, you can.
