Master  2055   Santa Clarita |  Subject: RE: RUN the Gauntlet December Challengerymac - 2011-12-05 6:47 AM I came down with a head cold that sucked the life out of me all weekend. I had a couple Nyquil nights. Luckily it seems to be getting better and hope to be back to 100% in the next couple days. I did have to shorten my long run up on Sunday but still tracking ok. I missed my hockey game last night for some extra sleep and got an extra run in this AM for team Ice Hockey. You see where my loyalty lies Nyquil was also my friend last week. Got my first run for the team today. Felt good and cleared my nose quite a bit . We had black ice on the trail but i have sharp edges so no mishap . |

Just that cold cold rain here - forced me into gym on the treadmill on Sat and Sun... Yes. Nothing stuck. And it was very light. We are expecting more snow tonight. It was my 5th session today, not 4th. |

Elite 3489 Lakewood, CO | Subject: RE: RUN the Gauntlet December Challenge ashort33 - 2011-12-05 8:48 AM 7 miles on the treadmill yesterday... not fun, but it got done... Plan is for 4 miles after work today - iffy on whether it has to be another treadmill run or I get to hit the pavement - I don't do windy, rainy, and temps in the mid 30's well.... way to get it done!!! I have been on Treadmill avoidance the last couple of days. I don't do rain well either but I do the windy or cold. Get some strange looks as I head outside to run the last couple of days (15 Monday and 22 today) - the folks in the gym just don't get it. Besides I need to double up and get CWWC points too. |

Veteran 286 Brisbane, Australia | Subject: RE: RUN the Gauntlet December Challenge van_paulus - 2011-12-05 3:27 PM I spent may to august 2010 in OZ when it was your winter . Lovely country and people . Brisbane is pretty warm now i bet . I am now back in Los Angeles . I am itching to get my running started too . Lets hope tomorrow is a go. Actually today was the second coldest December day on record. Max temp of 19.3 degrees Celsius (66F) when usual December days te max is usually 30-35 C (85-95F). My girlfriend and I went the the USA in October - LA, San Diego, Phoenix, grand canyon, Vegas, Yosemite, San Fran and New York. We had an amazing time. The weather was getting a bit in the cool side in NY but the rest of the time it was lovely. |

Master 2055 Santa Clarita | Subject: RE: RUN the Gauntlet December Challenge You hit some great USA spots . I still need to visit Yosemite . Got a second run in but today to mix it up I went for a swim in an outdoor pool . there was frost on the grass and a lot of steam coming off the water surface. the course was set up for 50m so it was hard to see the other side . Needless to say i did not hang around the deck when i was done swimming.! Edited by van_paulus 2011-12-07 12:06 PM |

Expert 1260 Norton Shores, MI | Subject: RE: RUN the Gauntlet December Challenge Got a 5 miler in at lunch today. It is going to be the coldest week so far here in MI and maybe we can finally get some snow on the ground. I cannot remember it ever taking this long to get some snow. Friday and Saturday we have a high of 26 degrees F and supposed to get some lake affect snow from Lake Michigan...yeah! |

That stuff won't make it this far across the state.  We need some major blizzard conditions! Nothing like running trails on 1+ feet of accumulation with some big flakes in the air. |

Master 2770 Central Kansas | Subject: RE: RUN the Gauntlet December Challenge I think I'm adjusting to the cold. I overdressed for my run this evening, and I didn't get out there until almost 11:00. 30 minute run. |

Off to a slow start this month as I did something to my hammy but got out there this morning - dark, quiet and 1 degree! I think that translates to about 33 degrees F. It was nice but I'm itching for some snow. Makes the darkness seem less dark |

Good luck with the HM - sounds like it will be a fun one! I think it sounds like fun, too. I would love to run dressed as Santa. Ann-Marie -- you are doing an awesome job on your running this month. Session today was very short --15 minutes. My right shin was hurting after my run yesterday and I have an 8-10 mile run scheduled for tomorrow, so I just wanted to get out there tonight, not much more. I hope everyone has a terrific evening. |
