Matt, it's not very good - it's AWESOME. We need a 25 mpw rate and we are way past it. I'm absolutely stunned and absolutely proud of all of us! Ellen

I was so inpsired by Ellen and Tatiana doing all those miles I decided to see if I could Gazelle for 10 miles. Well, I made it to 9 before I just could not do any more. On one hand, I'm very proud of myself. I thought "I am a military man, no way these two gals are gonna outwalk me!"

I'm too competitive perhaps. Okay, Total Miles = 49.

Well, I will try to do my usual 8 miles... the sunny weather is still here.

I am incredibly busy with finishing up stuff at the clinic before our vacation but I am determined to walk today. We are leaving on Saturday so now walking for me unless I walk during the three hour break at the airport.


Hey guys, it's not about competition... but I see your point Matt. It's nice to have partners and be inspired by their hard work.

Ellen, good luck on 7 miles. Is this the first time you do 7 miles in one day?

Matt, I am speechless... 9 miles holy cow. You rock DUDE.

Checking in... tired ... we walked 8 miles... got lost... climbed hills to find the way back... stupid GPS! Lesson: never take a husband with the GPS on the walk unless you are ready to camp in the woods and have a reasonable supply of food for him. We wandered 2 hours and 35 minutes.

The count: 62 in, 238 to go.

Well I clocked in 6 more miles on The Gazelle today. You gals are lucky I'm not counting all the walking from Moving Stuff! Hahahahaha! But you are still outpacing me.

I wonder... we will definitely have to do this again and get more people involved next time around. This was essentially a 12 week challenge and we are all way ahead. Maybe next time we'll go for 400 miles?

Anyway, total miles = 55.
Push-Ups : 25
Sit-Ups : 22


---I'm going to edit this post to say I may seem a little over-competitive but mostly I just get inspired by Ellen and Tatiana. Perhaps if we got some more people interested we 3 could be Team Captains or something and our teams could compete. That might be fun, too...

As long as it stays FUN that is what is important. I look forward to my walking / DVDs / Gazelle because of this challenge.

Okay I did 3 more miles today. But I think I'm taking tomorrow off and I'm going to start taking it a little easier on myself for a week. So next week I'm only going to try and do 2 miles per day, plus my push-ups and sit-ups. I'm ahead so I can afford it, and I think I need it.

Total Miles = 58
