Spent December moving instead of training, so I've got lots of points to catch up on.  Went out for a run this morning.  Only stayed out for 20 minutes, but it was 2*, snowing, and the wind was 15 mph.  That helped!

I think I should get points for freezing my @$$ off in Tampa today -- not below 35*, but waaaaay colder than I expected!  Colorado this evening felt balmy in comparison

I love running outside in the Winter! I find that I have to explain myself to family (those that live South of the Mason Dixon Line) and when I tell them about this challenge...that colder, wetter, windier racks in points..they say "HUH?" LOL

Took my 1st official run today post archille tendon injury.  It was on the treadmill so no points but if all goes well I can really get on board with this challenge.

I haven't run since October.  Yeah I will take it easy coz I never ever want to be injured again.  I have waited this long.  But I am an outdoor person at heart.

Yay!  I'm finally on the board!  Stinkin sciatic pain.  It still hurt a bit each time I planted my left foot (maybe I'll hop on my right for tonight's run...).  I now have a whopping 6 points!  And off to get 6 more since it's only just above 30 degrees...

I think I may try and go for a ride outside today. Its supposed to warm up to -7C later.....but the windchill will probably be a beeyatch. Still.....I have this morbid desire to put on every layer of clothing I own and get on out there!!!

I will keep ya posted.........

Well I rode! It was -19C  (-2F) with the windchill..........but do not worry I only counted the "actual " temp. Racked up 550 points for this ride........but unless I do this twice a day and SOME of you sustain serious injury I will never catch up!!!!

Got some good ski points this weekend.  Hope the weather stays crappy so I can at least make Lenny and Darren think they should keep it up


Well looks like we are out of the deep freeze here in Calgary for a couple days anyway (hopeful longer, as much as I like 600+ point runs it is a stretch to call that a silver lining). Yesterday on my 3 hour run I got 0 points .

You racked up 8910 points on that puppy.  That is amazing!  That is a months worth for most of us - great job!


I almost feel guilty....almost!

I rode outside again today.....was not too cold but it was mucky. And windy. And snowing.

Question for the winter riders: why am I sooooo slow when I ride in the winter?? I mean I know I am on an ancient old steel bike and bundled up .....but wow what a difference in speed! Or lack there of.

Helen,

Don't worry about speed - this time of year it is about keeping the rubber road side down!

Heavy clothes, stronger winds, and caution all factor into it for me - I am just glad to be riding!


Well me too! But today it felt like a brake was rubbing or something.........like I just could not roll. I actually stopped a couple of time to check.  Oh well...........just the way it is I suppose.
