billsorg - 2009-12-30 12:14 PMHello Elves!  Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah and Happy Kwanza!  Sorry I've been MIA... I've been all over the tri state area visiting family and friends.  Don't worry, I didn't abandon you!!!  I did a 50 min trainer ride this morning (my wife got me the Lake Placid Ironman bike course Spinnerval DVD... awesome!).  I have updated the spreadsheet and I am 105% of goal... BOO-YEAH!!!  The contest is 97% complete and we're under 97% of goal... I think we were more like 93%.  So let's get those last workouts in before popping the bubbly tomorrow night!  I don't think I'm allowed to go over 105% per contest rules, but I'll slip in a dreadmill workout tomorrow and put it in the spreadsheet and we'll see what happens.  Great job everyone... let's finish strong!!!
Cool
And count me in for a January challenge. 
Bill
I was wondering about you. Was gonna organize a search party!!How to keep going...Great stuff!

Legs are tired today. 50 minute "active recovery".

As Bill said...We are at 93%...time to work! DON'T STOP NOW! Keep you evil elf eyes on the prize!!! You may be wondering what is the prize? Bragging rights & this month they are bigger than most. Been a spirited challenge that's for sure. The Vixens are talking about 105%. C'mon...YOU can do this!!Also, If we lose, they might not let me back in Jan challenge!

Go Vixens! Taser those Evil Elves!
Hey, you don't get to trash talk us!!!!! You not a Vixen!!!!

The Soft-hearted Elves are getting a bad reputation, obviously!

Fine. Then I'll reply here too.... :P

Yay! I'm an honorary Vixen!

But I'm EVIL. (Capitalized, of course.) And I'm short. So I have a soft spot in my Evil heart for the Evil Elves.

That said, it's a very small, very tiny, little soft spot. Because my heart is so filled with EVIL that there's not much room left for soft.

Maybe I should taser all the Evil Elves, so they work out a little more this month. Hm...

This is going to be close!

I got another run done today.  (It was run day and I can't do a bike ride on a run day.  Well, there are some exceptions...like tomorrow!)  I'll be hopping on the trainer tomorrow for my last workout.

I managed to run a total of 300 miles this year!  I'm pleased with that number since I was pregnant and learning to care for a baby and recovering from being pregnant in 2009.  It's a challenge getting workouts done with kids around but I'm proof that it CAN be done!

Ok Elves.  It took a sickness adjustment and came down to the wire....but it's done.  Thank goodness for challenges or I would just have given up for the month.  Appreciate the nudges and inspires.

Now to figure out January goals.

Heard the weather report last night (freezing rain) and worried that I wouldn't be able to get to the pool this morning; was mostly snow. I swam; I reached my goals; couldn't get to 105%

Great month everyone!

Have a happy and safe New Year!

Got home at 11 pm after work and ran 5 miles  last night  in the glorious bright  full moon .  Thought this would make it hard to sleep , but quite the opposite  . I slept great .  

Last Day of the challenge.

Attention all Du-December Challenge participants:  Please make sure that all spreadsheets are up to date by 5:00PM Central time tomorrow (that should allow plenty of hangover recovery).  Final standings will be posted tomorrow night!  Finish up those last work outs!!!

Well Elves, i am sitting here with a belly full of lamb & risotto.  My sweetie & I ahve had some beautiful red wine & now are going to have some dessert with a sweet wine, which many say is dessert by itself.  I am in a mellow place.

But I digress...ran my 5k resolution run with 300 of  my closest friends () tonite.  Had freezing rain, the pavement was slick!!!!!  Anyway for a fun race with no time clock, winners, etc. I was happy.



I set the tone for next year...needed to be done.  Ran in 22.5 minutes.  Best this year for me.  Hopefully if i push a little over winer, might nip below 21 mins for 5k in spring.



OK, this has nothing to do with challenge, but, what the heck...we're friends for a few hours!



Happy New Years Eve Elves!  It's been a great month & and especially fun last 10days.



Best of luck in 2010.



Richard

Hi Team

Great Job this month as a team we hit 100% 

Pesonnaly I am disappointed in not reaching above 80% .  My main challenge  has been to get out the door after working 70 hours weeks over in the last 3 weeks .

Happy New year

Du December Challenge - Final Results

103.3% Vixens

100.3% Frostbite Force

100.1% Evil Elves

88.0% Christmas Cookies

Phenomenal effort by all teams!  There are no losers - only winners from this challenge!  From what I saw in the team threads, everybody got in some workouts that they would have skipped!  Great job to all!  Everybody can add the following to their signature:  "My team won the Du-December Challenge while everyone else was eating!"

Thanks to everyone who particpated!  It was a great month!
