Team iPhone!

It took them forever but I finally got my iPhone!!

The story goes something like this: I stayed up until 3am on Feb 3rd to be the first to order the damn phone. The order went through and they didn't ship it until this Monday. Once UPS had it, they claimed it would be here by Tuesday. So I sat in my house ALL DAY and waited.

And waited...

AND WAITED!!

When I checked the tracking number and all that, it said something the UPS dudes skipped over my box and had to bring it the next day.

So Wednesday happens and I'm waiting around again. Finally, I checked the tracking thing and it said that they had the wrong apt. number and were trying to figure out what the right one was. OMG!

Long story short, I've got the awesome phone now. I don't know how I've been using Blackberry for so long.

The 400 Mile Fitness Challenge!

So, on my lovely book blog, I'm competing in 16 reading challenges. But when I came across this challenge, I decided that not only is it perfect motivation for me to get out there and exercise, but it would be perfect to make a post about it on this blog. The 400 Mile Fitness Challenge 2011 is hosted by Book, Fitness & Other Stuff and runs from January 1 - Dec 31 2011.


Here are the rules (taken from the challenge's main page):

• The purpose is to reach the equivalent of 400 miles (at least) during the year, not a set number of miles a day.
• Every Saturday starting 1/8/11, come back to Books, Fitness & Other Stuff and add the link to your update link in that weeks post. If you'd rather post an update every two weeks, that's fine too, but please visit a few participants every week and give them support.

What counts:

mile for mile-

walking/jogging/running outside or inside on a treadmill

biking inside or inside on a recumbent, spin or stationary bike

WATP Mile DVD's: 1mile walk, 2 mile walk etc.

15 min. equals 1 mile-

cardio

step aerobics

swimming

weight lifting

workout videos

exercise classes

Minutes and miles can roll over:

If you only walk for 3/4 mile, or exercise for 10 minutes, you can add those minutes/minutes to the next day.

I'm super psyched for this because there are others doing it too and we can be supportive to one another in our fitness goals! Check out the main post to sign up!
