Veteran 294 Germantown, WI | Subject: RE: Christmas Cookies - Du-December Challenge 4 miles the fastest I have ever run 4 miles to date...because it was 18F with 10mph wind and it was flippin' cold! I just wanted to get done. Tomorrow will be 10-12 miles. Depends how I feel...I need to remember though that the more I do now means the less I have to cram in later in the month. I am crazy! 120 miles running outside in December in WI? It has to all be outside too! We sold the treadmill to force running outside. Oh well, tights, wool socks, windproof pullover, gloves, and a knit hat...10 minutes into it, you don't even realize it's cold. |

Master 2429 Falls Church, Virginia | Subject: RE: Christmas Cookies - Du-December Challenge I just brought home a whole tin of different colored sanding sugars to use in my upcoming baking. Should be fun. And a nice incentive to keep up with the workouts. Another stint on the trainer in the morning. 'Night Cookies! |

That's a lot of miles in the cold - I don't envy you. I would have kept the treadmill. I had one when I lived in Chicago. With the limited daylight hours and unpredictable weather, it was often tough to get out for a run.I am crazy! 120 miles running outside in December in WI? It has to all be outside too!

(I am working on becoming "nifty" rather than "fifty"). I think I dabble in the tri world more than anything. I have done one sprint and a few other running races. Last year was weird and I had to drop a lot of races. That will NOT happen this year. I am currently adding biking and swimming back into my workouts and trying to be more regular with all. That is why I NEED Challenges. I have been scarce since I have had a killer infection since last weekend. I will be scarse though this weekend as well 'cause I have a bunch of social, doctors and travel coming up through Sunday. I will be getting my workouts in but I am behind already due to this stoopid infection. LOVE the table, thanks. Go Cookies! Hi, I am Yanti, and I worship Robin.  I know and love many of you already and am very happy to meet the rest. I will say we are some sharp Cookies here! I am of indeterminate age, weight, and I.Q. However, I have quit smoking for TEN very definite days! I'm currently living in Bali, Indonesia and have just started a dog training business here. Am just getting back into tri training after a year and a half off (or very irregular) although I did do two tris in there. Aiming to do a 70.3 in early May so am Du-ing running and biking for this challenge. Yanti! It is sooooo good to "see" you again! Cool about the dog training. And super cool about not smoking...it was one of the best decisions I have ever made....almost at 3 yrs for me!(Dec 25th) |

Elite 3447 West Allis, WI | Subject: RE: Christmas Cookies - Du-December Challenge velveeta - 2009-12-02 9:26 PM Hello all! I'm Stacy, a recent returnee to the tri lifestyle. After about a year off, I'm slow and out of shape, but working my way back into the swing of things. After not meeting my goals last month I'm SUPER determined to make it work this month. I'm training for a 10K on the 19th and two ten-milers in January and February. I look forward to chatting with everyone and sharing encouragement! Go Cookies! Welcome back Stacy! |

Don't get me wrong...I prefer warmer weather to the cold. I just keep reminding myself to donkey-up when negative thoughts start creeping in. Not much relief when taking a drink and the water in your bottle is super cold though. I suppose running in 28F will do that. |

Veteran 194 Denver, CO | Subject: RE: Christmas Cookies - Du-December Challenge Happy Sunday, fellow Cookies. I have a ton to do today, including a 5-6 mile run (on the treadmill, because it is FRIGID outside). I'm also baking Christmas Cookies! But I will not partake until I have finished my run.  |
