Champion 9430     No excuses! | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge I am so in on this again this year. Yeah we may see our first "snow showers" here next week But hey it can only make us that much stronger come spring right? |

Master 2665 The Whites, New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge Next week? We should have snow showers in a few hours, if it hasn't already started out there! Yee-HAW! Was thinking of doing a challenge along the lines of the peach challenge - do SOMETHING every day, just to keep it rockin' all winter long. Hopefully mine will include several mountains climbed as that is a big goal this winter, and a few mountains descended by way of planks strapped to my feet. I'm sure quite a few days will include nothing more than a bit of homegrown ST.  |

Master 1632 Almost Canada, WA | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge wgraves7582 - 2008-10-21 4:32 AM Got here on the tail end this past winter and was wondering when these start up again. I know we are looking for snow showers and 32 degrees in the morning and the junk is not too far behind. Looking forward to some hard core winter training - and for those of you who think 50 degrees is winter training look elsewhere Bring it on mother nature! Snow, rain, wind, cold, hail, and sleet, huh?! Will I be forced to start my own little "winter" challenge since I live in Hawaii or will I be welcome and just have to keep my mouth shut about the actual weather?!

Ummm it helps that you did live in Alaska, Colorado is too nice in the winter (grew up there sorry - they have bad days, but they also have beautiful days), but now that you are in Hawaii you can be the moderator Dang it, I should have paid closer attention to the Colorado Native thing! So now, just tell me what my job is and what I must do to stay in ya'lls good graces! |

| Extreme Veteran 1329 Wausau WI | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge They are only calling for snow flurries on Monday, but I am sure the real stuff will be coming soon. So what do we have to do for the challenge? Is it anything out in the snow or do we have to bike?

You could start by sending some warm weather over here?!! X1,000,000 or at least lie to us and tell us how much rain you are having It was 35 this morning for my commute - but a dry 35 Since it is supposed to rain every day this week I don't have to lie about that ~ I'll just have to make sure I get out there every day it rains and leave the actual temp a secret Edited by Happychick 2008-10-23 3:38 PM |

| Expert 784 Computerland | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge That sounds like a fun challenge! I hate winter and need to get some motivation to train outside, instead of spening all my time on the boring dreadmill. |

| Member 39 San Antonio, TX | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge I will join in. We are almost done with the October challenge and I need something to keep me motivated. I am in San Antonio, so the weather is never really too shabby. But I paid my dues too - 10 long, cold, frigid years in Dearborn, Michigan. |

| Master 2665 The Whites, New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge wgraves, you are in Buffalo? Somehow I missed that. I went to HS in N. Tonawanda. There's someone on here from Grand Island, too. Small world. It was pretty today, if cold. Stupid third shift, I had to sleep. Oh well, it was my rest day anyway - gotta stick to the rest days if I'm ever gonna fully recover from these injuries! I definitely won't be biking, but I'll be running and hiking/snowshoeing and maybe even throwing in a couple searches (search and rescue). Hoping to do some alpine and xc skiing this winter, too. I'm looking for a 5K or 10K snowshoe race to aim for! |

| Master 2146 East Side of the Bay | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge Any extra points for doing an occasional polar bear plunge (no wetsuits allowed). No actual swimming but you have to go in over your head? |

| Pro 4828 The Land of Ice and Snow | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge I live in the second coldest capital city in the world!!! Count me in! I have made a commitment to myself to try and bike in this bloody cold as long as possible, so this challenge is perfect for me. As for running, I am very strange and actually enjoy running in the winter.  |

| Master 2005 Silverton, Oregon | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge I'm in! I like running in the winter too... biking though I'm already struggling with and it's not that cold yet I need some motivation to get me out there on the bike, cus I want to bike outside as much as possible this winter. |

| Master 2665 The Whites, New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Crappy Weather Winter Challenge wgraves7582 - 2008-10-26 7:44 PM I see you went from the beautiful Buffalo weather to New Hampshire which cannot be that much nicer huh? So you are a NT grad? I grew up in Colorado but know the area quite well. There are a few from the area around the forum. Oh, NH is much, much, MUCH nicer - they believe in SUNSHINE here!!! No kidding, it is radically different having a winter with sun, and without the incessant, never-ending wind. I don't care if you beat the pants off of me due to your wind multiplier, I am DONE with that! For those who may not know, Buffalo gets more wind than Chicago. I did gradumatate from NT, for better or worse. It wasn't a terribly pleasant time I spent there, though I learned to love Buffalo from afar once I left for college. That city has a LOT going for it! Thanks for posting the rules! I'll have to write that down somewhere so I can remember. Can we just guesstimate the wind speed? I don't have any way to measure. And Monday to Sunday works much better for me, as I can't post on the weekends. Edited by Slugger 2008-10-27 2:53 AM |
