…110 minutes and 30 seconds of cardio…

…HOLY CRAP!

.

Another #amerryworkoutpledge down, WOOHOO!

I just completed my portion of the challenge, and I think it’s safe to say that my ass is officially kicked.  I ran for last months challenge but wanted to change it up a bit for this month, so I went with the exercise bike.  I usually only do 10-15 minutes at a time on the bike, so this would definitely be…different.

All in all, it wasn’t that bad!  My ass hurts, which was expected, and my legs feel a bit like jello, but it was a good experience and it went by really fast!  I still feel like I was cheating on running though, but I’ll get over that, it’s good to have a nice mix

I completed the challenge and rode 27.6 miles.  Is that a lot?  I honestly have NO IDEA.  I don’t have alot of biking experience so I don’t know what to gauge it against.  It’s more than a marathon worth of riding though, so it can’t be that bad

And like before, here is my sweaty after pic…

Again, sexy, right?  The bike beside me is the one I used for the challenge.  The people in the background are, well, people in the background

HOW DID YOU DO?

Some of you are in the process of completing the challenge, others are completing it tomorrow or over the weekend or whatever.  It’s all awesome regardless, and I want to know how you did!  Once you have finished, let me know the following:

• Type of activity completed
• Mileage (if you did the bike or treadmill, for example…)
• URL of your challenge followup (if you have a blog and do a follow up post)

I want to gather all of this information and do a followup post with everyones information later, and I don’t want to miss anyone   In the meantime, you can follow everyones progress on twitter!  Look for the #amerryworkoutpledge hashtag!

I’m having a lot of fun with this challenge and I hope it continues to grow and travel through the blog community.  You guys are awesome!

And now, I need a nap…or at least dinner   Have a great evening!

HOLY CRAP!

You all certainly stepped up the plate, huh?  The comments have been tallied up and this edition of #amerryworkoutpledge will be: (insert drumroll)

110 minutes and 30 seconds!

That equates to 221 comments! Holy crap, much?!?!

I was worried that I hadn’t given enough time for the comments to accumulate, but yeah, that definitely wasn’t an issue!  Granted, myself and a few others may have chimed in a bit with a few extra comments, but it’s all in good fun, right?  Don’t hate me  

Just like before, a TON of people have jumped on board too.  That is so great!

I’m still kind of torn as to how I want to go about this.  I love my running, obviously, but I sort of also want to try something different.  With that said, I think I’ll try biking this time around.  I’ve never really done anything on the bike for longer than 30minutes, so this will be an experience.

My workout begins at 4:30. When are you doing yours?

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! 

And remember, do what you can, and be careful!  No injuries allowed

Last month, Mary set up a workout pledge where every comment on this post equated to 30 seconds of cardio.

Myself and Jen volunteered to match her time, and then it just blew up from there.  In the end the three of us, and SO MANY OTHERS ended up doing 90 minutes of cardio.

WooT!

Well guess what, its back!

This time I am hosting #amerryworkoutpledge!

So what’s the deal? You have until 4pm today (Eastern Standard Time) to leave a comment on this post.  Every comment will equal 30 seconds of cardio that I will complete later today.  Any and everyone is encouraged to join in on the fun too!  You can complete the challenge on the treadmill, the ARC Trainer, the eliptical, the bike, whatever!  Just remember to NOT overdo or hurt yourself, just do what you can or break it up into chunks if you have to.

That’s basically it! You have a little under 10 hours to get your comment in. 

We got up to 90 minutes last time, what can we do today? That may or may not be a challenge.

Ready, set, go!
