<p>Look over the list above and post any updates that I should be aware of.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great job to everybody, even those who didn't earn Gold Stars every single week. There were many who missed a day here or there, and that is far better than only getting in a day here or there, so congratulations to all that participated and stuck it out through to the end. It's cool because with some of you, I learned a little bit about you through this. Nicely done. And nice to know you that way -- your strength, both mental and physical. You know who you are. And so do I!</p>

<p>Ok, week 6 for me:</p>

<p>W - 40 min on trainer</p>
<p>Th - 2.65 miles</p>
<p>Fri - 45 min on trainer</p>
<p>Sat - ~1 mile walk</p>
<p>Sun - 2.65 miles</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks again for doing this Thor!  It was fun!</p>

 

[jenotter]

<p>Thank you, again, Thor for organizing this!! Even though it's supposed to be over, I feel compelled to continue on this path. There were definitely a few days probably in week 3 or 4 that were pretty tough - why did I do this? What was I thinking? But knowing there were a bunch of other streakers made me want to continue! I've never done anything like this, and enjoyed it thoroughly!</p>

<p>You are very welcome. Thank you! It was fun. I am so proud of you and many of the others for how they set the streak as a goal, committed to it, and then carried it out. And there was no complaining, just positive feedback and some happy banter. Holiday's are a great time for this sort of thing, because everybody is far more relaxed now that there are no races or big goals driving them. It's easy to slack off, but it's also easy and fun to take advantage of it!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>nicely done, Otter!</p>

<p>Did not miss aday and continuing to streak!</p>

<p>Thor thanks for organizing this. It was the boost I needed and my streak is still on.</p>

YES! This is most impressive because you were just coming out of a period where you wanted to get back on the horse. Nice job!</p>

You were the model athlete for this, always checking in, "Week complete." Way to stay consistent.</p>

<p>Thanks for playing, both of you!</p>

<div>Yay !  Though i do do something probably 5/6 days a week on a regular basis, i am No Streaker !  So this was a good challenge for me</div>
<div>and i enjoyed it.  Thank You for the Prompts <strong>Thor,  </strong>they inspired me to do a few things differently and i will definitely continue that</div>
<div>throughout 2012 !  It was fun to see what everyone else was doing and how they got through the 6 weeks.   I made it all but one day</div>
<div>and am happy with my results but was relieved on Jan 2nd !!  </div>

I gave it to you because, well, you kicked ass! And hey, life happens... and it did for you. You tried, were plugged in the whole way, and you did it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Speaking of being plugged in, that's what makes me smile because so many of you were so plugged in to this challenge. I loved it! And I'm glad y'all had fun.</p>

<p>We just need Julie, Rabbit, and MoCo to round out the list for Week 6.</p>

<p>MoCo spent the two weeks before Christmas working like a dog, pretty much all I did was work and sleep (with some work on the house thrown in there).   Then, not surprisingly, I got sick.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm hoping to be able to take a deep breath w/out coughing by the weekend, at which point I am back at it.</p>

<p>Oops, didn't see this post until now.  Posted my final wrap-up for the last weeks on the Week 5 post.</p>
