B.L.O.G. Update

It's been 10 days since we announced the formation of B.L.O.G., a President's Challenge Group created to provide bloggers with some incentive to take an occasional break from the keyboard and buck the national trend toward porkicity. An update is in order.

Total members in group to-date: 4
Total points earned by members: 7,200 and some change
Types of activities logged: bicycling, running, walking (no baton twirling yet)
# of members not logging anything since August 5: 3

OK, so we're off to a, um, methodical start, group-wise. That's OK. There's no sense overdoing it.

Anyway, just a reminder that the group is open to any and all bloggers. Visit the website linked above, sign-up as an individual participant, then click on "Join a Group." The BLOG Group ID number is 430, and you pick your own Group Member Number (which can be your blog name, but doesn't have to be). Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

I got hung up with the festival last week, then my knee got run over by a golf cart. I probably will continue to suck till Monday, at the earliest.

Scott, I'm pretty sure that "injury caused by sports-related equipment" qualifies you for at least SOME points. Narrowness in categorization is the hobgoblin of the small mind, and we all are big thinkers in these here parts.

I still think I should get some points for all the lifting, toting and walking I did last week. Those 55 gallon drums of trash are heavy!

Well, I've got some good news for you, then! Check out the Activity list again. Note the item, "Lifting and Hauling." You can even categorize it as light, moderate or heavy.

Boy, do we aim to please or what?
