I personally just kind of think it's neat to see how much everyone runs in the cold and who runs in the coldest temps. Over in ID I know you all, depending where you're located, can get some serious cold.
1 measly mile picking up the kindergarteners. Started out running, but after a block my knee rebelled. It's still recovering from the lateral strain yesterday doing ad-/abduction work. Oh well, it was good to get out in the first cold weather of the season--windchill 26F with rainwater surface. Nice! I've missed it.
I know someone who beers and runs all the time....can never figure that out, b/c I always run into your dilemma of relaxing/retasting cycles.....So here is my mileage for the last few days,
Monday - 7 miles good pace had a great ole time
Tuesday - Thought about running, drank 2 beers, then decided that another beer was a better option than running
Wednesday - Thought about running again, drank a beer, thought some more, could not remember what the first beer tasted like, so had another, lost any thought about running.
Thursday (today) - Haven't started drinking beer yet, trying to hold off so I can actually go get a few miles in tonight, hmmmm, wonder how that will work out....... Mmmmmmm, beer fridge, no, must resist, only 2 hours till the wife gets home, and I can go for a run.

...and I see that them oats fueled you two well, no?Damn Pirate is responsible for my oats intake this morning as well. 2.5 miles in windy conditions, with some ice pellets today.
Actually I think it's 41F and below. You just have to go add it to the chart in the winter challenge area.

I had been doing just lateral leg raises lying on my side on the floor. Yesterday I did them with 10 lb ankle weights for the first time, and also introduced hip adduction/abduction work standing up with cables, with an ankle strap.BUMMER on the knee.
What were you doing for ad/abduction? I currently (sometimes) do the resistance band whatnot and it's so boring.
I found a good plank with the stability ball and added an arm weight to it exercise that's fairly challenging, but I feel like that only hits the outside of m hips (is that ad or ab?)
Yah, maybe we should have handicaps so we can compete with the Canadians. Californians get a handicap of 30 degrees, Minnesotans just 10F.Is the Winter Challenge region-specific? I mean, you say anything <41F, but can we make that anything below 60F for us CA folks? I mean, my stars - sub 60F? We have to put on a sweater...
I just about to head out right now its -7 degrees and I am still wearing shorts. Come on a sweater, really.Is the Winter Challenge region-specific? I mean, you say anything <41F, but can we make that anything below 60F for us CA folks? I mean, my stars - sub 60F? We have to put on a sweater...
Yah, I like to have sweats on so my leg muscles are nice and warm.3 miles, -2C with a -9C windchill this morning. No shorts for me, I wore running tights to keep me cozy.
