August Exercise Challenge: "Every Day is a Good Day for Disney - AND for Exercise"

[PollyannaMom]

55 min. for Wed. Feeling so heartbroken, we lost firefighters today. Prayers up to protect our heroes. The fires rage and evacuations of entire towns just continues.

How awful! I hope things are under control again soon.

Good Morning, and Happy "Thrilling Thursday"! - That means a question about Disney rides or parks, but instead of asking straight trivia today, I have a link for anyone who wants to play -

Oh my goodness, this is so sad. Prayers to the families and friends of the fallen, and prayers for safety to the rest and for these fires to STOP.

I also got the Jungle Cruise.

 

[sophy1996]

I'm the Jungle Cruise too. "Boring, cheesy, and tame"?!

I'm thinking of the firefighters and their families, as well as of the people of Sitka, Alaska, who suffered a deadly landslide a couple of days ago. And of those here on this thread that have had a rough time the last week or so.

I got Splash Mountain! "You take a while to get going, but your climax is good and wet." Um....WHAT?

Anyways, got some swimming in last night. Not as exercise heavy, since two little girls decided me and DBF were gonna be the judges for their water flips contest. They were cute though.

446/1000

Gonna get over half way this weekend, I'm sure of it!

 

[lisah0711]

It's hot and humid here, now I realize how much I prefer running in the cold!

Yes, I'm really looking forward to running in the fall!

Feels really good getting back on track!

Yay you!

It is a tragedy and no end in sight at least for another ten days. I've lived in the west all my life and this is the worst season I can remember.

I got The Jungle Cruise.

I'm the Jungle Cruise too. "Boring, cheesy, and tame"?!

Yep, got the same as you two!

32 minutes of walking brings me to 884/1000

Keep up the good work everyone -- still 11 whole days to hit those goals!

Big Thunder, old and rickety! Ha!

 

[pix13dust]

60 minutes strength training. Tried running but I hurt my calf hiking and WOW does it still hurt!
690/1000

What Disney ride are you?
http://www.youthink.com/quiz.cfm?action=go_detail&sub_action=take&obj_id=1589

Like many others, I got ... Jungle Cruise
You`re boring, cheesy, and tame. You`re the jungle cruise!!

The really funny part about this is that I haven't been on the Jungle Cruise in 15+ years. I am not cheesy!

I got Splash Mountain! "You take a while to get going, but your climax is good and wet." Um....WHAT?

I'm going to have to second the "WHAT?"

64 minutes for me today, running and walking. Had a rough 3 mile run this morning - hasn't been a great running week for me. Oh well, hopefully I'll bounce back next week.

885/1050

 

[galaxygirl76]

70 minutes of legs&thigh work and abs&obliques work brings my total to 795/1200.

Another Jungle Cruise here haha

 

[Dentam]

I got The Jungle Cruise.

Me too! "Boring, cheesy and tame"?! Ouch!

So sorry to hear about the firefighters. Incredibly sad.

25 minutes of walking again today which should bring me to 580/1000.

 

[chbc]

715/900 50 min. walking for Thursday.

 

[PollyannaMom]

35 minutes for me - half of "walking" the cat and some pool time with DS.

It's funny that so many are getting the same ride! (And honestly, I checked it out with different answers before I posted it, and got "Hall of Presidents" that time, so I thought all the descriptions were very tame!) Anyway, it's no wonder this group works together so well!

 

[hmack]

Big Thunder Mt. Railroad - you're kind of old and rickety, but you are the wildest ride in the Wilderness. But sure how I feel about the description - but Big Thunder is one of my most favorite rides so that's cool. (and I'm ok with not being Splash Mt. that description is just..creepy)

At any rate - got in a 5 miler before work today - which brings me up to 982/1600

 

[sophy1996]

+30

639/1200

 

[Sleeping*Beauty]

15 minute walks last nite and tonight
190/350

 

[PollyannaMom]

Good Morning, and Happy "Fabulous Friday"!

93% of team members have reported in with exercise at least once this month.
Our biggest reporting days have both been Mondays. - No slinking bleary-eyed into the week for us!

(And apparently, we like the Jungle Cruise, as 70% of those who took the survey yesterday got that answer. )


Our current total minutes is 12,790, or 46% of goal.
That means only 968 minutes to Team Pixie Dust Purple!! (32 minutes each) - We'll be there in no time!!


If you haven't checked out the rainbow that is now page one, click on over there. It looks great!
53% of our team is already purple or higher, and 13% is already pink!! Go Team!!!



We also have two new color changes to report today:

chba to Minnie's Bow Pink, and
Sleeping*Beauty to Pixie Dust Purple!

Have a great day everyone, and a great start to the weekend!

24 minutes today

909/1050

 

[lisah0711]

Tried running but I hurt my calf hiking and WOW does it still hurt!

Ouch! Hope you are feeling better today!

Had a rough 3 mile run this morning - hasn't been a great running week for me. Oh well, hopefully I'll bounce back next week.

I bet you'll find your running mojo again anytime.

PollyannaMom, thanks for doing a great job and all the cool stats!

Still socked in with bad air so only 15 minutes of walking to add bringing me to 899/1000.

Keep up the good work all!
