TOPIC: There and Back Again, A Workout Competition

Nice job on the masks. Fortunately, most of my walking is done in a park where people have been better about cleaning up after themselves. Although, having more accessible trash cans probably helps.

Well, trying to get what walking I can do in this morning. I get my 2nd dose of Pfizer around 11am and have no idea how that's going to impact my ability to workout over the next day or two.

I'll definitely enter just for motivation. I've had body dysmorphia for most of my adult life. I used to be very fit and toned but then I got a call center job for years and gained some visceral fat around my mid section and thighs. I know I am not chubby but I have not been happy with my body shape and have been focusing on dieting and physical activity.
Who do I PM for the specifics?

I think you just need to go back to the first post and let Josh M. know. He's who you send your daily results to.

I'll track your progress on the sheet. Let me know if you'd like to be a paid competitor (which makes you eligible for prizes) or to compete just for honor and glory (and support from this awesome community).

ANother workout today. I saw another mask, but when I went to pick it up, I realized the bag I had brought fell out of my pocket. I contributed to the litter! 😭

I think you're still to the plus on this. Maybe you'll find it on your next walk. If not, it probably means someone else picked it up.

Anyone else expecting a dropoff in activity this weekend? Or am I the only one doing multiple runs each day?

I have a bunch, but it's also supposed to be beautiful this weekend, so I'll prolly go out for walks between runs.

Today might not be too bad for me since my first run isn't until 2:12pm, but each day I have back to back to back runs. So, once the runs start I'm mostly shot for the day. I do have a 1 hour 12 minute break today from 7:48pm to 9pm, but am doubting I'll still be in a mood to go walk in the dark. Tomorrow will be the worst. My first run is at 10am and then I only have a 12 minute break and a 48 minute break all the way until 9pm. Sunday doesn't get much better, but at least I don't start until 11:24am. But, it's all good. I'll get some walking in early and then I'll get to have lots of fun.

It snowed here last night, but I'm still planning on going out for a walk.

Snow? I didn't think we reached the Misty Mountains yet.

The competition started and I pretty much immediately got sick, so I'm expecting my activity to go up this weekend now that I'm feeling better. Definitely not to the 3 hours a day place, but for me 25-30 minutes a day would be a huge improvement to my health. That's my personal goal right now.

I have multiple runs, but only one per day.
