This is my pathetic attempt at an activity post but I think it may qualify.  I walked to work yesterday and today. 2.1 miles each way.  Listening to various podcasts makes the walk quite enjoyable.  This lady driving by in a convertible took a picture of me.

Jordan Lancaster with another post. His new nickname might be "blog hog"

Alright everyone I think Jordan has thrown down the gauntlet here.  He has been sending in daily posts for he and his family being the most active people on the blog.  I am feeling the pressure to get out there and log some activities for posting myslef.  Here are some of his newest pictures along with a feeble attempt by myself to have a posting by walking to and from work.  Just so everyone knows that I won't be posting any activities without photo evidence.  I do trust most of the people but not sure about Jordan.  Thanks again for any pictures you guys send and keep them coming.  


Best,

Dave

Not sure if this activity qualifies as getting your heart rate up there but the pictures are pretty nice.

Vance Lancaster (Father to Lary and Grandfather to Jordan and Tyson) who will be 90 years old this month was on the ski mountain for the 15th time this year.  Nice work Vance!  You don't look a day over 60.

Stu & Barb Starner Pumping iron from College Station, TX

Stu and Barb Starner pumping some iron into the new year.  Stu and Barb are living in College Station, TX but will be soon moving to Bozeman, MT so they have to pump some iron to build up muscle in order to fight off all of the bears and mountain lions up there.  Great work you two.  Keep sending some pictures.

Jordan & Teresa Lancaster getting with it in Bend, OR

Teresa & Jordan Lancaster are getting in on the mix with an 9K  cross country ski run.  I'm not sure if the picture of Jordan on the ground is before or after the activity.  Rumor has it he had some bad chicken or he is a chicken I get confused.  Teresa and Jordan live in Tuscon, AZ but were up in Bend, OR visiting with Jordan's Grandfather.  There are a few other Lancasters getting in on the mix with Tyson (Jordan's Brother) and his wife along with JJ and Lary (Jordan's Mom & Pop)  Great work guys.  Keep the pictures coming.  Let's see who can make the most posts for 2012!

Teresa "beast" Lancaster.  Must have been pushed because I have never seen her fall down skiing.

Great work for the Coppers.  Sure to get many votes for most active and most activities.

Scott Hall from Fort Gratiot, Michigan sends in these photos of his activity for the day.  He was quoted as saying "1984 GMC S-15 Deadlift!  1 rep and I can still feel the burn."  Great work Scott!  Keep sending in your pictures of any new activity for 2012.

 

Dave, Jane, Gordon & Stuey Hall Go 12 miles

This is just the tip of the iceberg for what promises to be an interesting experiment in peoples varying activities and posts. Anyone who sends me pictures to post I will sign them up so that they can make their own posts to this blog throughout the year of their interesting physical activities they have discovered and taken part in this year. Hope everyone has a happy and healthy new year! Keep sending those pictures!

Here are a few pictures from our 12 miles in 2012 bike ride.  It was a nice day outside for the 1st of January as you can see we are all in shorts and a t-shirt.  The boys did there fair share of complaining and Stuey was bringing up the rear all day.  The main complaint is too many hills but it is a bit hilly here so I couldn't do much about that.  It took us about an hour and 45 minutes which is not too bad.  The boys told me how tired  they were but they seemed to have enough energy to play at the park for 2 hours after the bike ride.  I guess the level of fatigue is based on the activity.  Hope everyone had a great day of activity!
