Crypt Keepers - Halloween Run Challenge (Page 16)

sparco - 2009-10-09 8:54 AM Last run before the snowfest tomorrow...22 min in Z2 (max 150 bpm HR) on the tready...

31 degrees (27 windchill) with SNOW!

Race dress plan: shorts, 2 long-sleeved tech shirts, running pants, gloves, running hat...

Just look for Ralphie...

LOL!! You all are hilarious!

Morning all.
So I did my run outside last night and even though I didn't get my full 4 miles in (it started to get dark and I don’t like running the trails by myself in the dark) I did get 2. I will just have to pick up the slack this weekend.

And thanks again for the advice on the clothing. I decided to go with quarter length leggings, a wicking t-shirt, a hoddy, gloves and a head band ear warmer. Seemed to work rather well, in fact I even got so hot that I ended up taking off the gloves and head band. I really like running outside in the cold, it gives you a kind of refreshing feeling.

Normal Nebraskans don’t. But that’s just what happens when you live on a military base and every one of your neighbors is from Texas. I use to live in Texas so when I’m around them too long I pick it up.

I heard about the game, didn’t watch it though. To busy drinking and jabber jawing...

Ok, Guess I better chime in on the post padding contributions...

Got 5 miles in yesterday morning in a mist... was fun.  Now today, it's pouring rain so no workout at the moment-- was going to go swim, but I have this aversion to swimming when there is lighting in the neighborhood... Call me whimpy....

As for cold weather running... SAL --- 34 and Snow for whistlestop -- SWEET!  Perfect running weather... as long as the wind stays calm.   I lived in the Frozen Tundra long enough.

I'm planning 6 miles in the morning... Might have to break out my tights.... forecast for tomorrow morning...  49 degrees!   And this is in TX.  Today's high only supposed to be 65.  That's cold for this time of year.. yesterday high was 85

I rode my bike tuesday and it got down to 37F . Brrrr , took me all morning to warm up afterwards. 

Got another 4 miles  and change run in  getting me up to 25% complete for the challenge .  My bike (side challenge for me is over 50%) is really taking shape.  

Go Keepers lets scare the beejeezuss out of the other teams and take the LEad ....  !

Ok so today was planned for four miles, ended up with 9.95 running with elementary students.  Tomorrow will be a rest day, Sunday will be 12 miles.

I have a run on tap tomorrow for 5 and Sunday which was supposed to be 3.  However, I realized today I was supposed to do 4 on Tuesday and did 3 that day so I'm going to switch Sunday to 4 miles.

Got my 5 miles in this morning.  It is going to P-O-U-R so the humidity was horrible, almost as bad as running in August around here.

Good Luck!!!

Good Morning, Fellow Crypt Keepers.

Well, Got my run in this morning.  Goal for week was 19, completed 19.   Was great!   25 Miles for the month so far, so I'm wondering if I need to change the goal.   We'll see how it goes.

Pace felt good as well!
