What BBB is also not telling you you is that the other requirement is that it has to rain for all 30 (31) days - may rule out those not in the PNW! :)

you lazy buggers!

I am joking! I know all have diff priorities.

Have fun with the daily run!
I will be doing 5 runs a week - on my off-season plan. It has a strong run and bike focus, so I will just be "lazy" and cheer ya on! ;)

I am in too.

Hey 'Jaunty' Cayman, there is the Ashenfelter 8k Classic tomorrow in Glen Ridge. I am signed up already. Are you interested?

:D

Sorry, already commited to a 5K in Morris Twsp. Too bad they're not closer together, I could run from one to the other

Doing the nyrr hot chocolate 15K Dec 1? I'm a sucker for hot chocolate with maybe a little dram of Jameson to ward off the chill.;)

btw, congrats on the jfk 50 miler, fantastic!

50 Miles would be 80.47km :D

I would love to, but I can only run every second day due to previous overuse injuries... This is the only way I can ensure I don't get injured.
That, and it's not the off season over here...

To add fun to this as a competition, as we triathletes ARE competative, we can add a points system to this. How about this:

RULES You get 1point for a 30minute run, 2 points for a 60 minute run and 3 points for a 1.5hr run. And if you are planning a day off the following day you must run 2x the day before a day off.

I was trying to get more people involved ALLOWING for lazyness. But yes, NO rest days LOL!

How about -1 point for a day off ??

No excuses

if
1) get hit by a car,- you could walk or crawl to the hospital
2) get sick so you can't walk,- you can crawl
3) Aliens abduct you - they might have a treadmill on board

:D

Even with a bum ankle I'm in! Come on..this is light weight stuff...I spent YEARS when I didn't miss a day running.

too rich for these old creaky joints :eek:

i fold.

groovy, saturday it is.

How's the foot there dude? Tick, tick goes the clock. Will you be ready?

Its a bit last minute, but count me in. I lost quite a bit of fitness taking almost 2 months off; need something to kick my rear back in gear.

If by some miracle I finish a 5k in under 30 minutes on Saturday, do I still get a point or do I have to make up the difference? :)

This thing is based on the honor system. Hopefully you make up the few minutes in a warm up or a cool down.

Or take it easy and have a nice, easy 5k :D

Ya, it's the honor system. Basically you're only cheating yourself. Just write in what you have done for the day. Keep track of points. It's NOT a competition with anyone but YOURSELF. I don't think we should push ourselves or see who is able to do more than anyone else. Go slow (Z1) and have fun. That IS the key to this. It's supposed to be fun, so make it that. The only reason for doing this, is to give yourself a goal and have a reason to get out during the Christmas season and do something so that we don't sit there eating cookies and bon bons then feel guilty for it, especially for not working out.

For those more adventurous we should compliment this with bricks if we can. You know who you are :-) Base building is key and sub AeT work at LSD is the goal. Swims are also an option.

Remember have fun for it. Beads, take it easy for the race. Ya got alot of running after that. Don't pooch yourself out. Anton, good to hear you are feeling better. RICE till we start man.....and no, no extra points for rain, sleet...... I will likely be running in that everyday here in Van. which will mean I cleanup with bonus points LOL Just not fair for you all :p

Doesn't look like any of our other recent posts have made it over yet (Sunday, 10:40 EST). So I'm gonna repost... and add.
Day 1- Ran a 4 miler easy on the ankle wearing a brace...felt great to get out running. 35 minutes. 1 Point.
Day 2. Still being the soul of caution: easy 4 miler on the ankle with a brace. 35 minutes. 1 point.
We never made allowance for partial time increments. I'll use a <,> config. ie: If it's less than :45 then that's a 1. If is greater than :45, that's a 2. As we set up 1 point for each :30...unless you guys are ok with half points?

Day 2 of the slothfest running. Compact snow and warmer with slight rain spit. This will get rid of the crap. Nice slothy run. For this one I wanted to keep going but said no cause I have alot of days ahead of me and I gotta ride to work tomorrow, so best to rest up. Also went slower today cause I didn’t wanna slip and twist an ankle or something. A very fun run!

6.3km 34:35min, Z1 HRavg 133 (1 point) Total to date =3 points

2 days two runs. Only 29 more to go!

I'm going to wear the treddy out this year!

Won't run less than 30min.

Day 1: 36 minutes. Day 2: 52 minutes in the same snow slush and ice, although it was more fun then yesterday's 24 degrees with a sustained wind. I wanted the hour today but I couldn't feel my wet feet any longer. Hopefully the next 29 days will toughen me up.

Total of 2 points.
