Hola!
Last week, we did a bike ride instead of a hike - the weather was bad on Saturday, so no hike. But Sunday, we got out and rode. I admit that after 2 1/2 miles we stopped and had a glass of wine and a sandwich before we rode 2 1/2 miles home...
TODAY!!!! A run on a beautiful day! I go at noon.
Kev - WHAT CAN WE DO TO GET YOU BACK ON TRACK???? HOW CAN WE HELP??

Ideas for Challenging Game
Okay, I've been thinking about it, and this is all I can come up with so far:
I think the game should revolve around whether or not we accomplish our own goals for the week. I think we should veer away from any punishment for not achieving goals, and focus more on reward. This shit's hard enough as it is.
So what if the person who achieves their weekly goal gets rewarded by having the other members dedicate a youtube vid, funny picture, funny story, or some other type of internet treat? It wouldn't take long at all, and it would be something to look forward to.
If not this, then maybe we can start from here and figure out some other types of rewards that we can dish out to each other when we succeed for the week.
Maybe there should be special rewards for completing goals for the month, or for who has the best success rate after a certain time, etc. Just trying to get the ball rolling--any thoughts?

Physical Challenge--Kevin
Sorry for the delay, guys. Logging on to this site as a host was a challenge in itself due to computer probs at work. I almost crumpled in the face of this first, extremely low level challenge.
Luckily I got my stuff together on Saturday, and hit the gym--3o minutes of lifting, 25 minutes of elliptical. I'm feeling really good.
One important step I took this weekend was recognizing this reality---I can't work out on Fridays. It's the last thing I want to do, after feeling the rush of freedom after busting out of the office on Fridays. So that means, I've given up on the MWF workout schedule. As good a day as Monday is to start off on a good foot, Friday is just as crappy for following through.
So now, I'm going to a Sat. morning, Mon., Wed. schedule, with Th and F as days of rest. Saturday mornings have been a nice, peaceful way to get started with the week's bizness. It's also flexible, as I could also go with a Sun/Tues/Thurs, schedule, or a few others. As long as I'm realistic about being allergic to Friday workouts, I should be able to stay on track.
My goal is to stay on this track until Christmas. Long-term of course, is to stay with it forever, but let's take one step at a time. The big lesson for me in all this is---recognize mental blocks, and either overcome them, or work around them.
I'm still thinking of ways to incorporate our challenges into game mode, so bear with me. Any suggestions?
