Anyone Want to continue into December with another Run Focus challenge?

Similar to the Novemburr Challenge

Basic parameters:

#1 - 50% mileage bonus for races , if you race a 10K you can enter 15k in your log, or 1.5 sessions. Posting race pix on thread is encouraged .
#2 - You chose your GOAL : mileage/time/days of running . Consider this is holiday season.
#3 - if going with mileage/time limit it to a 10% increase from the previous month's
run total max. It is a run challenge, but we want everyone to be able to keep
training all winter long with no overuse injuries
#4 - The total will be percentage of goal met since we have other options available besides
distance
#5 - Team bantering is expected and could be rewarded with bonuses - we will most likely keep it
to one thread instead of teams, unless the majority decides in favor of team threads
#6 - We will run through the Google Documents as usual for challenges - same log in and
password as previous challenges
#7 - We are open to suggestions.

Just finished my first run of the month and I'd like to join in. My goal for the month is 130km. Slowly building up.
My favorite winter sports, ice climbing and skiing (cross county, telemark and alpine). And generally playing out in the snow with my family.

I've never joined one of these challenges before, but I'm game.  My goal is 101 miles as far as a favorite winter sport - that is a tough one since we don't actually have "winter" sports in Florida.  So, I guess I'll go with the only winter sport I've ever done and say skiing.

I'm in. Since I don't participate in (or even really watch) winter sports, I'll be obnoxious and say Curling. Tongue out

ETA: I put my name down under Bobsled, since Curling wasn't an option (for some odd reason).

I'll give it another go, esp since I missed my session goal in Nov due to not figuring in recovery time and holidays...

In again for December! Didn't up my goal much because I have my first 50k -- a trail race hopefully in some deep snow -- in a couple weeks and not sure how taper/recovery is going to go. Joined Apres Ski team but it's just me so far. C'mon, the Macallan is on me over at apres-ski.

I'm counting session this month instead of distance because we will be traveling over the holidays. I'm pretty sure I can get out and run just about every day, but I'm not sure how much. Anyway, first session down tonight -- 4.5ish miles.

It is fun to have a virtual team training with me. And having 10 runners reach 100% is
a great result.

Are we supposed to be posting our runs anywhere besides our own logs?
