Week #5 is complete - can you believe it? With summer right around the corner I hope our little challenge has everyone in the groove to continue being active during those lovely sunny days to come (here's hoping).
So this week....
Top 10 for week #5 :Gene C, Sue W., Nico D, Katie J, Karl S., Jean W, Carissa P., Terry D., Roula A, and Kaytlin M. This is strong group of people – all in the 800+ points. I am inspired by them – but not discouraged. I don’t compare my score to theirs (if I did I would be so depressed…). I know there are some weeks when I could have done better, especially when I see my total score. But there are other weeks when I know I have done pretty well – for my life/schedule. The point of this challenge is to remind us that exercise is important – everyday. The time and intensity is all subjective – what works for you may not work for others…its simple really, exercise is good for you – commit to making it a part of your daily life.
Full results can be found here.
Marketa wanted me/everyone to know how active she was last week, not only did she bike, she went to burlesque (??), had dragon boat practice in the rain, then went dancing and topped the week off with a 5 hour hike! I noticed she was a little sluggish Monday morning.
Apparently it was DIRT WEEK at the Pullen house – loads of dirt dumped and loads of dirt moved. I am sure they were thrilled with the wet raining weather.
Speaking of rainy weather it seems I was the only one who used it as an excuse for less activity (well maybe Sandra Z too). Congrats to everyone but us.
All Jean's points are from walking....wonder how many pairs of shoes she goes through.
Vanessa is addicted to spinning – you know that class where you ride a stationary bike to nowhere. I think there may be music to keep you from falling asleep.
Carissa is queen (again) of the activities – 10 different ones this week!
Hey Shawn if you are looking for an extra ball hockey player – Nico plays – he’s young AND athletic – obvious ringer.
Terry, Sue and Karl rode their bikes to Kingston and back…for FUN!!…..ya, that’s right, they rule!
Karl earned the most points this week 259! (165 of those in biking) Not to be outdone, Sue had a total of 192 biking points alone.
Another sign of summer.....Philip has joined the beach volleyball craze..…
Carissa, Alyssa and Kim are the three left improving each week. I think Carissa took my advice about keeping pace with small jumps, as she only increased this week by 1.15 points…very strategic…
Okay, one more person has fallen of the participation list - bringing our total to 48 players. We had 24 rock stars hand in their form on Monday – not an improvement from last week but then again not worse either…but in the math world we are now at 50%. Which I guess is statistically good but if you think of what we are measuring…still kind of sad. Anyway this week’s winners of our weekly bribe are Terry Dean and
Jennifer Wright. Terry must have some sort of good luck aura this week, as I believe this is the first time his name was even in the draw! Terry, go buy a lottery ticket now. Poor Jen, she will have to rely on her hubby Manny to read the blog and find me before Terry – as I am not sure the “jeans for a week” is approved at her office. Oh well if that’s what she wins – she can give it/sell it to Manny!
Here I thought the public shame of the printing a list of those no namers would help my cause…it seems this group is totally unfazed, even recruiting more for their club.
Perhaps my font last week was a little too kind…how is this… here are the people who forget put their name on their form (again I can’t stress this enough…this is not personal, I like all of these people!)…AARON, CAROLYN, DOMINIQUE, DAVE, JEAN, KARL, KIM, ROULA, STEPHANIE/NICO. Another observation .. these are all HSF people. It seems the CCS crew excel at name writing.
As always, weekly forms are so appreciated on Mondays (maybe this lovely kindness will help.)
Don't forget the fabulous SummerActive round up - prize giveaway on June 24th - 12:00! - Boardroom. See you there.
