Feb. Run Challenge - Crazy Canucks (Page 7)

My goal for the next challenge is better setting my goal !!! Since i'm new at this, forgive me ?

You gotta come up with a better story than that! There I was - going for the gold in Snowboard Cross at the Olympics, in the lead up until the final jump, when I had to make a slight adjustment to my board in mid air,.... nah they'd never believe it....

HAHAHAHA i tottally saw that on TV, it was hilarious.... too bad about our snowboarder who got injured... oh well...

so shall we challenge the rest of the ppl's to the bike challenge for march?????

You always have to watch out for the snow snakes, between them and the mogul mice it's amazing that anyone gets down the hill without catching an edge. At least that's the explanation I've always gone with...

On the running front, my long run this coming weekend will meet my goal and then some. Go Go Canucks!!!!!

Oh I forgive you.

I'm new to this too. The only reason I am on target is that I have a training plan, set my goal per the plan, and followed it for the month.
The encouragement the challenge gave to complete the longer runs was very helpful.


And I agree that Elly needs a better story.
Maybe not quite as elaborate as "I was snowboarding at the Olympics and....." though.
Catching an edge sucks. Don't ask me how I know

How about you were snowboarding down an uncharted part of the mountain when you heard the cries of a small gypsy child in the woods. Being the expert snowboarder you are you swifty cut into the woods to see a bear attacking the gypsy and the child promied you jewels in exchange for your help. Being a black belt in bear fighting and a lover of jewels you gracfully boarded towards the bear, straped out of the bindings and took on the bear face to face. The bear was a tougher fight then you thought, being trained in the black arts himself, and managed to break your arm in a the fight to the death. You obviously came out alive and when the gypsy offered her jewels to you, you respectfully declined to take them telling him that it was all in a days work. The gypsy child ran off into the woods never to been seen again and you boarded down to the bottom of the mountain were the first aid attendants helped you fix up your arm from a "fall". What do you think? I'd buy it .

Great job everyone. We are so close to 100% completion by everyone!
