DOWN for the Holidays! (Page 20)

peto_primo - 2012-11-03 8:22 PM How about the NYC Marathon Challenge for Sunday.  Don't know where everyone's plans are but there are 28 people on the spreadsheet.  Do you think among us we could cover 4 times the distance  of the marathon that is not being run tomorrow.  That would be 104.8 miles.  (It would be easier if some folks have long runs scheduled tomorrow  

Planning on a late night treadmill run here at Great Wolf Lodge. Can I count any miles run after midnight towards the Sunday total?

Anything after midnight is Sunday - go for it.  

Down for the Holidays is about doing something, so yeah, why not 2 hours Yoga is more than I could do, I would probably fair better with the marathon. - So maybe if we average an hour for everybody doings something on Sunday ??? 29 hours of activity - that would be the equivalent of what 6 or 7 marathons??

This is a neat idea. I had to move my long run to Sunday so will post back when complete

Hey JD, welcome to Down With the Holidays. Great job on the first day. 

I agree with you that logging helps a lot. It makes me aware of everything I put in my mouth.. and thats a good thing. 

Man... 16 miles on the treadmill is insane. 

Here I am thinking I'm all that coz of my early morning poopy 3 mile run ...

No kidding.. I cannot fathom doing 16 miles on the treadmill. Not to mention, there would be no way for me to consider doing any more running for at LEAST a day or so after....

85 miles on the trainer?  thats got to be 3.5/4 hrs. thats just way to long for me on a trainer. hour is my max, less if i'm doing training sets.   what was you stats from that session

Managed to lose 3 pounds this week with a combination of being sick and spending long days in the woods hunting.  The little that I have been eating has been horrible nutritionally as I am simply not good at moderation.  So with our Jamaica vacation fast approaching I am starting another Whole30 Challenge.  Along with the Whole30 I have made a personal challenge to not miss a workout for the next 30 days.

Good luck everyone.

I'm not sure I understand the Sunday challenge but I did a 3 mile run this morning.  My long run was yesterday.

I've sort of fallen off the wagon this weekend for eating.  Just poor planning on my part.  I don't think I ate enough yesterday after my long run and so by evening I was REALLY hungry but too lazy to do something about it so I just kept picking at stuff - and not great stuff.  Friday wasn't so hot either.  I think it's that mentality "Well I did good all week and I have a long run tomorrow so I can cheat a bit..." I'm avoiding the scale until I get back on track.  When I slip up - the impact can be +4 pounds or so.  Probably all salt but very unmotivating so ya... AVOIDANCE!

Hope everyone is enjoying the extra hour today!!

I've walked roughly two miles so far today.  In combat boots.  Up 3 flights of stairs, down 3 flights of stairs, down a 9' ladder, up the 9' ladder, down a 12' ladder (twice), and up the 12' ladder (twice).  Again, all while wearing said combat boots.  Oh, and I've pretty much been in motion since about 0500.

Is this good for anything?  :-)

Military guys... you gotta love us.

U need to take a profile pic of you in your combat boots and kilt. You'd be the

"Kilted Combat Booted Clydesdale" :=)

I just finished with a 1:45 minute, 30 mile bike ride and about to go for a 40 minute swim. 

Challenge accepted!!!  Would you like Irish National Tartan, Hunting MacLeod Tartan, Black Watch, plain black, Dress Stewart, or UtiliKilt Mocker?

Whichever one looks the most badazz.
