BT folks are in a class of their own. (Page 2)

PM - on the tri board we have a "30 runs in 30 days" challenge thread going.  The minimum run is 2 miles or 20 minutes.  It's been a good motivator for some folks.  I'm currently at 108 days of consecutive running and there's a guy on there who is right at 400 days, with quite a few other streaks going.

It only takes 20 minutes a day (if you stay at the minimum) and you'll be surprised how fast the miles pile up.

Stealing this idea from another site but what about starting up a COJ Workout Challenge,,,, 30 minutes of some type of exercise a day as a goal till say 2/14/2012. Anyone know how to set up a challenge like this in BT?

PM any of the 'Challenge Me' forum mods. Tell them you want to set up a challenge, with the name of the challenge. That's the easy part - you'll get your very own challenge thread in the challenge forum. 

THEN...you'll need a way to track progress...spreadsheet, google doc, something, so you know challenge progress. You'll also want to figure out how you want to run or score the challenges - days, points, whatever, and whether it's individual or teams. Easy enough, just takes a little planning and organization.

I hope you set it up. The first annual sighting of 'COJ'ers Thinking About Working Out' challenge. Mine eyes....  

you could do it Tony...even if you are a flatlander!  Long rides where there is a lot of ascending and descending are easier than a long flat ride, imo.  It's slower...but easier.  If not TBP...Copper Triangle goes over 3-passess (Freemont, Tennessee, and Vail over about 80-miles.  Somewhat easier but just a scenic.

Perhaps it's time for a break. Sometimes I loose perspective. The economy, the elections, the shootings, the cliff... Sierra Club is trying to shut my plant down, sell the municipal utilities to a private company, I just bought a business that is not in the black... The only good thing that has happened around here was weed was legalized, but I stopped smoking it 12 years ago.... and I plan on keeping it that way. Moderation was never my strong suit. I have not been "training" since September, I have gained 10 lbs. and I am not signed up for a single thing. Yes, my blank logs are up to date. Maybe it is time to get off the computer and get some things in order.

I just want to say, to all my COJ peeps, you are the best. I have never been on any other forum that allowed political discussion, that had the level of class that you guys have. Intelligent, passionate, adult discussion on very sensitive subjects with some very opposed views. Yet you guys pull it off with class, thoughtfulness... and yes, even respect. Just because I may disagree with you, does not mean I do not have a great deal of respect for all of you. I think I'm argued out. I get here from time to time.

My best to all my BT Peeps.
