EN 2013 Holiday Run Challenge
2013 Holiday Run Challenge
8 Days, Tuesday to Tuesday, 12/25 to 1/1
Okay folks, its that time of year again. That’s right. I am talkin bout the Annual Holiday Run Challenge. Stay fit and have fun this holiday season by joining your crazy EN teammates for an 8-Day Run Challenge.
This is a solo challenge to keep our minds off the sugar cookies and mulledcider and on coming out ahead of the game on New Years, perhaps a few pounds lighter and feeling superior over our friends who will all be complaining about the 5lbs they gained between December 25th and January 1.
If you do not think you can do it alone and the accountability to the team is not enough, you can "align" yourself with a Team just by putting a team name in the tracking spreadsheet.
So lace up your shoes, fire up your Internet connection and start planning those runs!
Point Scoring:
-
1 point per mile run.
-
1 additional point for each hour run (whole numbers only 1, 2, etc.)
-
1 additional point for a run in sub-32 degrees weather.
-
1 additional point for each mile run at (or above) Threshold Pace (10k pace).
-
5 bonus points for running all 8 days of challenge.
-
Note: This runs on the honor system, please only post your actual run results.
Rewards:

Cool Icon to put on your signature line
Points Example:
If it takes me one hour to run 8 miles in 40-degree weather with 2 miles
at threshold... I get 8 x 1 point for distance (8), 1 point for 1 hour
of running (1), 0 points for sub-32 degree running, and 2x1 point for
the threshold miles (2)...I will have earned 11 points for my run.

FAQs:
Where is the spreadsheet?
It's online as a shared Google document here.
Do I need a Google account?
You shouldn't need one, but you _do_ need to be careful when entering your
data that you only touch your space in the spreadsheet and not anyone
else's!
How do I create a team?
Just write in a team name and the sheet will start calculating your team data.

If the Badger Boy is in and the "Rochester Rock" Carly is in then count me in and hold on boy's and girl's there's a storm brewing for this one. Last time I did this challenge it was a lot of fun. Humm who came out on top that year(2011), oh yahh ...................... !!
I guess a challenge like this is what i need to run outside in sub 32 degree weather.
Not gunning for a top spot, just a respectable effort to jump-start my 4th and final Boston build.
