Spectacular Star Wars September Exercise Challenge

sophy1996 · Sep 3, 2015

We've more than doubled the number of Luke Skywalker Blue participants in just one day! And it was particularly excellent that just about half of our group reported minutes today! (Unfortunately, I was not one of them.)

Congratulations to:

Today's Star Wars trivia: As I said earlier, Star Wars wasn't expected to be a hit. Only one toy maker (Kenner) responded to licensing offers. But it didn't make enough to satisfy the demand for Christmas 1977, so the "empty box" promotion was born. Instead of figures that didn't yet exist, the boxes contained Early Bird Certificates that could be redeemed for a figure a few months after Christmas when they would be available. If you happen to have one of those Early Bird Certificate Program boxes now, unopened, it's likely worth thousands of dollars.

Compare that to the event beginning at 12:01 a.m. tomorrow, September 4: Force Friday, presenting new merchandise for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which doesn't open until December. It looks like Disney doesn't plan to be caught behind the 8-ball with its merchandise for this movie!

Ha, I know! But I suppose it's good I'm getting the miles in slightly faster. Tomorrow's a rest day. Will be a Skywalker on Saturday, though!

Definitely good that you're getting faster!

I would love to join again! I am in for 1200 minutes this month, I will update tomorrow for the first 3 days of the month.

Force Friday seems crazy! I was shopping on Macy's and they're a part of the big event too!

Anyways, I finally got some real exercise in! 55 minutes of swimming puts me at 65/1000. I would've done more but lightning kinda spoiled my outside fun!

lisah0711 · Sep 4, 2015

Finally getting some numbers on the board today 51 minutes walking and 20 minutes of back-to-school bootcamp from WW leader challenge brings me to 71/1000. Those two weeks of air quality like Beijing really did a number on my endurance and mojo. Hope I find them again soon! :scared:

roxymama · Sep 4, 2015

Starting the month off slowly. The hubby was on business trip so last night was first night he was home and I could go run.
2 miles at 19:31. Feeling real good about that but it does not contribute much to my totals.
Looking forward to the weekend I have a race expo and shakeout run tomorrow, a race on Sunday + downtown sightseeing, and a giant craft fair with lots of walking with my mom on Monday. Time to catch up!

Ok...I got off my rear yesterday and put in some time! 74 minutes walk/jog. I probably won't get that much time today, it's a busy day at work.

Welcome!

Missed my long-ish workout on Wednesday but I think I can make it up this weekend...managed a shorter run today, 40 minutes.

LizardQueen8 · Sep 4, 2015

45 minutes strength training. Wanted to get in a run tomorrow, but then remembered I have all day bachelorette party fun and games. If I end up playing whirlyball, will that count? :bored:

Reporting in Ms Hostess - happy, exhausted but proud to say I am logging in with 204/1200 for the first 3 days of the month! I am still riding for today so I will add my active minutes to my current total whenever I finish for today

Dentam · Sep 4, 2015

15 minutes of walking today. 80/1200

robndani · Sep 4, 2015

20 minutes of walking my kids to and from bus stop!!!!

DVCFan1994 · Sep 4, 2015

Wow, lotsts of progress reported here today! I got in a 60 minute circuit training class before I left town. I believe that takes me to 250/1200.

Have a great long weekend everyone!

sophy1996 · Sep 4, 2015

30 minutes walking. And once again, I only did that much to :rainbow:

Three more color-changers today! Congratulations to

As a team, we're at 9.2%, just 174 minutes shy of Luke Skywalker Blue! A color change tomorrow will be a great way to kick off a holiday weekend. And a couple of people are creeping up on C-3PO Orange--maybe our list will get brighter this weekend or early next week.

It seems like a lot of folks are feeling like they got a slow start this month, but it's only the 4th, plenty of time to catch up to those goals. Get out there and enjoy the weekend!

My spy (DH) tells me Target had quite a few neat things. Luckily most of them stayed there! :ewok:

A few weeks ago a lightning storm actually spoiled our indoor fun--our indoor pool made everyone vacate the entire pool area (and wouldn't even let anyone take a shower in the locker room).

Glad you're on the board! It's amazing how only a few days off has such an effect, isn't it?

"Ms. Hostess"? I feel so official! And congrats on coming in with such an excellent total for the first few days! You should be proud (and exhausted).
