Anyone doing Mama Laughlin's Dietbet?

Is anyone else planning to do the Rugged Maniac Race in September?

Groupon has a $40 coupon for the next 14 days.

Really want to join a game but I am new to dietbet and not sure HOW to meet my goals. I have a treadmill at home. I'm a stay at home mom to two boys 3 yrs old and 17 mos old. How much time a day should I be on the treadmill? I would prefer to walk until less of me is jiggling. Have a total weightloss goal of 30lbs, starting at 150lbs (I'm 5'1, so don't think that's nuts). Any advice for someone BRAND NEW to fitness? I spent most of my life pretty lean naturally so I never concerned myself with diet and exercise, but after two babies, EVERYTHING has changed. I don't want to fail. Thanks in advance.

This morning I completed a Half Marathon (13.1 miles) race. I finished in just under 2 hours, 10 minutes. The last time I completed a Half was in November, 2009. And my fastest time ever for a Half was 2:41:41 (hrs/mins/secs). That was a 0:12:20 per mile pace.

Today, I finished at 2:09:18 with an average 0:09:52 pace. I am very pleased with myself

Active.com included a list of the "Top 10 Thanksgiving Day Races" from around the country.

I'm a little disappointed that Austin didn't get mentioned. But I guess we can't be the best at everything.

Anyone playing another game in the near future?

I have decided to try to host my own game for the first time ever. I'm calling it the Turkey Trot. I hope you'll join and give it a try with me. Thanks!

Whew! My final weigh-in for one of my DietBet games was due today and yesterday. But I got really, really sick from my jogging on Sunday, and it caused my weight to skyrocket. So I've been terrified that my weight wouldn't return to where it needed to be in time for me to weigh-in and that I would lose this DietBet because I had completed my best race ever (a full 10 miles with a great pace!) on Sunday.

But I was good, super super good, today and yesterday with my food. I let my body rest yesterday so it could recover, and I took an easy jog for 4 miles tonight. When I weighed myself, I beat my necessary amount for the DietBet by 0.5 pounds! Yay! Weigh-in complete. BAM.
