Then a 14-16 mile run in the morning. I'm running the loop that I couldn't even ride when I first started riding. I'm more excited about this run than any other Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Have some of those yummy holiday treats...just a little won't hurt. (key word: little) |

Extreme Veteran 386 West Hartford, CT | Subject: RE: Frostbite Force - Du-December Challenge Another core workout down. Tomorrow it's 45 minutes on the rollers and more core. More core, more core - that's going to have to be my mantra to make this goal! |

Elite 5316 Alturas, California | Subject: RE: Frostbite Force - Du-December Challenge I have decided to do 15 minutes of basic core every night in addition to the core workouts (except on a long core night). Just a little something to make the longer sessions even possible. |

I5 South was closed in Stockton due to an overturned truck. I bet traffic was horrible and 99 was probably just as bad with people scrambling to get around the accident. Do you feel like you can hold your M pace for the whole 26? |

Master 1690 Metro NY Area | Subject: RE: Frostbite Force - Du-December Challenge Me too! I take a pilates class 3x a week. I don't include it as a challenge since it's a given. I also just started crossfit. Diesel - 2009-12-18 7:01 PM Core is where it's at! |

Elite 5316 Alturas, California | Subject: RE: Frostbite Force - Du-December Challenge Um no.... my coach says I should be able to run 26 at 7:40.... but I doubt I can hold better than 8:00 for any distance over 10 miles. That means I will probably go boom following the race strategy come January or just not follow the race strat and run closer to 8:00 to 8:15 mpm. Or it could all come together in the next few weeks.... I am a religeous person and attend mass every Sunday. What will be will be. He picked that pace because it is what I would have to run to BC, but it will probably take me another year to get there. Edited by Baowolf 2009-12-18 11:25 PM |

The reason I was asking was because your HR looked to be approaching LT when you went sub 8 mmp. But, when running at the 8 minute miles, you look very strong aerobically (is that a word?). Sorry, but I forgot, is it the Redding marathon you are training for? |

Master 1887 Brentwood, CA | Subject: RE: Frostbite Force - Du-December Challenge Hello Frostries! Things are a little quiet around here... I'll take that as an indication that everyone is working so hard they don't have the spare time to post Only a few days to Christams, so I can only imagine things are going to get tougher on us all. Let us enjoy, celebrate, and indulge in the Holidays, but not eat to manys sweets (my biggest downfall). All the candy and cookies are already showing up around work.Once again, I've taken the liberty to update the spreadsheet to the best of my ability. Please double check your numbers. I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. |
