In case you couldn’t tell, I had a lot of fun writing that last post! Thank you everyone for such amazing feedback on my announcement. I left out a lot of details about the race, the training, and my fundraising plans, so be on the lookout for another post concerning all of that soon. 
My weekends have been screwy lately, and it’s been reflected in the scale, 
so what better way to combat this than the Weekend Warriors Challenge – Braveheart Edition? Yep, Brandon’s hosting it again and I really need to join this time to keep myself accountable. So no, I’m not gonna don a kilt like some people, but I will wear blue nail polish like others! 
How awesome is that??
Anyway, my goals for this weekend:
- Don’t drink any tea. (My consumption of tea has gotten WAY out of hand lately)
- Go grocery shopping. (We really need some fruit and other healthy snacks for me to choose from)
- Workout for at least 110 minutes, dedicated to Shelli’s kids. (see below)
You may be wondering why I specifically chose that number – 110 – for the number of minutes to workout. I’m sure you’ve all read by now that Steve hosted another amerryworkout pledge. For every comment he had to do 30 seconds of cardio and the grand total wound up being 110 minutes. I pledged to match him in my workout tonight. The reason it’s dedicated to Shelli’s kids? Well, she offered a challenge to her students (very creative, if you ask me!) and for every question they get right on the Geography test today, she will work out for 1 minute on the treadmill, elliptical, or bike. There are a possible 148 correct answers, so in doing the math, she could very well be working out for almost 2.5 hours! Eeek! I told her I would dedicate my Friday workout to her kids. So, all 110 minutes of my workout tonight are dedicated to them and Shelli.
We decided to hold a yard sale tomorrow. It was a spur of the moment decision, but we have several bins of stuff and figured it was time. We’re going to put all the money toward my Caleb’s Crusade fundraising goal. I mention this in case any of my local friends/family are reading this and want to either come buy things, or donate items to sell – please let me know! All proceeds will go directly to Caleb’s Crusade to help fund cancer research and to help families affected by childhood cancers.
One more thing. I just want to say how proud I am of Lynne, who’s running and biking in the 2010 Law Enforcement Torch Run today. You go girl, I am so proud of you and can’t wait to hear all about it!
143.4 miles walked/jogged/ran since January 1st. (2010 Goal: 500)
49.5 miles biked since January 1st. (2010 Goal: 300)
(5) 5Ks finished since January 1st. (2010 Goal: 12)

Oh, come on, I think we definitely need to some pictures of you in a kilt!
Oh come on…blue toenails? I was thinking blue face paint, at least!!!
I think everyone should do a kilt this week … either at the start or the end. It’d rock!!! Lets just hope we never have a WWC My Little Pony edition or something like that
Good luck with the goals, I think a lot of people are combining the merry workout with the WWC. It’s a good combo and I’m doing it though I feel a little guilty combining them.

I am glad to see you in on the challenge and just read your announcement, you amazing!
I didn’t know about Steve’s pledge till yesterday and had no motivation yesterday so I think I will hit the gym tonight for the pledge and do my 110!
Hi Josie,
Here’s the damage for the Student Challenge – 65 minutes. My students got 65questions correct. Good news 20 more questions than last week. I’ll explain everything on my blog later. I’ll even post the geography questions.
I’ll join in on the Warrior Challenge as well and tag team this with Steve’s, #amerryworkout pledge aon Saturday and post to the Twitter Group.
Isn’t this FUN

I am in complete awe that you’ve accomplished 5 5Ks since January 1. Your fierce determination is amazing Josie! I’m struggling getting back into the running game a bit. What keeps you loving it and wanting to go back for more?
I hope your challenge is coming along nicely.
Hell yeah to being a weekend warrior! FOR SCOTLAND!
Anyway, hope the 110 minutes goes well! Can’t wait to see how that goes. Bet you’ll be a hot, sweaty mess
It’ll be great!
Man, I would totally go comb out your yard sale. I like looking at yard sales. Sometimes, people get rid of some REALLY awesome stuff for NOTHING. You know what they say, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Truth.
