November Activity Challenge

Bballrob said:
Ok, first of all, props to our RINGleader, Jason Hensley who usually starts these threads, for going from “probably not gonna happen” to “I’m gonna go for it I think” over a period of about 4 hours. We are all pulling for you.

My challenge this month is to close all 3 rings 6 times. Very doable. Last month I closed them all 3 times and had 3 other days where my exercise ring was over half complete.

Also, November is the month where my “second job” of refereeing basketball starts to kick in a little higher gear. It started on October with a small spattering of games the past two weeks. I’m November, I’ll be working a couple afternoons a week doing the same, and Men’s Rec League kicks off Monday night which means I could be running 3 games a night another 2-4 nights per week. I normally do 2 or 3 nights.

Additionally, I noticed a week ago that my weight has been creeping up a bit again, so I made a commitment to myself that beginning November 1, I would either work games or get on the elliptical at least 5 days per week.

So, I’ve got this. Should have a completed report by next weekend. Kinda boring and anticlimactic really.

Haha, yeah I need to psych myself up after the blow off the bad news. I did 180 minutes today and it wasn’t too bad. I think I’ve got this!

BTW, I see what you did there with Ringleader... well done!

Good luck with your and everyone else’s challenges!

Ouch.

I’m a walker, not a runner so that’s spending at least 3 hours per day walking, just as the weather turns cold!

I better subscribe to a few more podcasts, or maybe I’ll skip it this month and hope the challenge calculation’s expectations drop!

Che bella! That's one that I'd love to run. I'll have to wait a few years until we get the kids out the house, and my wife and I can take longer vacations at different times of the year. For now, I'm trying to hit all of the U.S. states.

In bocca al lupo!

Thank you for your service. I am not active duty or a vet but I also completed the Veterans Day challenge.

I did so by walking about a mile to my sons place of work when I discovered my car had a dead battery this morning. It was 28 degrees.

Dedication, I like it!
 
I didn't have a great week last week, but I'm still on pace to hit my 2,490 minutes of Exercise. I have 998 through 12 days (83.2), leaving 18 days to earn 1,492 (82.9).
