Commit to Be Fit
We're now in week 2 of the challenge at work.
Week 1 stats put my team (dubbed "Snickerdoodles") in 2nd place. We were only trailing by about 4 points, if I remember correctly, too!!
It's funny - we got to pick our team names. We have things like Chocolate Mousse, Chocoholics, etc. OMG you can tell what we were all thinking naming our teams.
I logged 11870 steps today.
Saturday is supposed to be 6 miles. Unless I decide to do the 5-miler again. I have been doing each mile number two weeks in a row up until now before moving on, remember? Tough call. I'd like to do 6 miles, then 7, 8 and so on only doing each 1 week now. There's supposed to be a 30 degree change in temps this weekend. Brrrr!! Good thing my hunny bought me my fleece pants and long sleeve t-shirt. Add a hat and gloves and I should be warm enough, if not HOT out there running. Note to self: have a tank or t-shirt on underneath it so I can take the layers off as I warm up.
Yeah, our weather is changing quickly here and I won't be able to be out on the streets until spring for running unless the roads are clear of snow/ice. I refuse to even *try* to run on that <stuff>!!
And.... the treadmill just doesn't sound exciting to me, I'm sorry.
So anyway. I have the course(s) mapped for both 5 and 6 miles, so we'll see how it goes weather-wise before I decide. I feel it's going to be in the rain though, so that may determine what's happening. LOL!! I haven't stayed inside and done a video in a while, so if I bail all is not lost.
Anyway. TGIF tomorrow and happy weekend!

I'll bet, that, with all the walking you do, you're getting really fit!!! Yeaayy! 
I was just noticing your chart. You keep on losing weight consistently! Slowly, but SURELY! That's really good!
Yes, the treadmill is boring. I watch TV while I walk -- to take my mind off of it! (heh-heh)
I hope you can keep doing something when the cold weather gets too much for you.
Keep on walkin'! Love ya'!

Me neither
Running on the treadmill isn't the same. I've never actually done it. And I won't. What I love about running is being outside and seeing nature. Even if it's in my neighborhood. I like actually going somewhere, not standing still. And from people who have done both, they say it's harder to run outside. So I don't blame you.

You are doing so well
6 miles! Wow. I can barely get myself to finish 2 miles and I have been trying to push myself to do 3 for awhile now. You are inspiring!

Keep it up!
I really like your cardio routine and you are doing great! The team names at work are pretty cute and funny. It's starting to get chilly here as well.. But I would rather have it cold and chilly then be super hot and muggy. You can keep walking and running outside in the snow. It's a bit harder and you have to be careful but you can do it. I don't like treadmills that much either. Maybe it's due to the same scenery and the bore of it.
