2012 Holiday Running Challenge! Who's game?

[bluegoose]

Are there any ladies that want to join in? If so, we should consider changing the group name.

Hey, what about adding a weight loss/lack of weight gain column? This is going to be a bigger challenge than keeping active for me. Also, it gives the non-runners, at least the ones with some pounds to lose, an alternative.

Maybe add a column for pounds lost, and then you get 10 miles for each pound lost (and lose 10 for pounds gained)?

Hey now, my goal is actually to gain some weight during this time. I doubt I will be able to do so, but I have started lifting again, so I am trying.

I like this. I would be competing with niku without running a step the last few months.

Totally onboard with this idea.

How many miles would you guess you've put in since mid August? I'm curious how I would stack up in the weight loss.

[PaloAltoCougar]

Unless '71 catches wind of this, I'm going the crush the >60 Division.

No confidence in SU?

I can look it up. Probably something like 600.

Edit: I misread the mid August part. Actual number is 476, but I haven't run all week this week and took two weeks off in October. I'm forecasting 360 from now to the end of the year.

If every pound equals 10 miles I'd win and that hardly seems fair. I've lost over 70 pounds since August 13th. Maybe make it 5 pounds so that you have to put in a little more physical work in.

Ah, but I, planning on losing 10 pounds too.

Ah. Ok. As hard as I will try, don't think I can lose 46 pounds the rest of the year. I'm hoping for 30-35.

Game on! Sounds like it will be a good competition.

I'm not a fan of tracking weight loss as I like to keep it simple. Unless there is a big push for I'll leave it off the spreadsheet.
