Final tally for December 200mi running/beer challenge
Quote | Reply
Wow, some impressive numbers! Special notes:
- most miles: Bizzy with an amazing 35.65mi!
- most beers: Transition3 with 142! Note that Transition3 also logged 157.6miles, nice balance between beers & miles ;-)

Although I didn't log as many miles as I would have liked to (due to too much snow and too much work), it certainly motivated me to get out there when I could have easily sat on my fat ass. I will certainly do this again next December, it helped to keep the pounds from creeping up over the holidays. One thing that did surprise me was how many beers I ended up drinking in December. In fact, I'm kind of disgusted with myself. I mean I like beer, but this is a bit too much. Two office parties and three hockey games really drove that # up, and needless to say, that's gotta scale back in a big way or IMC will be a sufferfest.

Thanks to all who participated.

Final #s here:

AP - thanks again for organizing this. It was fun and kept me motivated to get out every day (almost) and do some miles. As a side bonus, I pr'd a 5k on 12/29 even though I have done zero speedwork in a year. The consistency, moderate pace, and higher mileage approach seems to work well for me. Looking forward to doing this again next year.

Happy New Year to everyone.

So Andy, did I win the free copy of "Racing for recovery"? I wanted to thank you and everyone who logged. It helped motivate me to my highest monthly run total. It also pointed out my other favorite past time. That I need to work on. 18 days till my first Marathon.

Thanks here too.
By about 100 miles this was my biggest month ever too. Hopefully it pays good dividends next weekend at the Disney Marathon.
It was definitely motivation to get out and run (or hit the treadmill) on some pretty crappy days here in not-so-sunny Pennsylvania.

Thanks for the challenge. It really motivated me to work hard the last week to make the goal when I had fallen behind due to traveling during the holidays. I started out the month recovering from a broken big toe and ended by running ~75 miles in the last week. That puts me back on track to up my mileage into the 80-90 mpw range.

Don

Tri-ing to have fun. Anything else is just a bonus!

Where in PA? I'm from up by Erie in the land of Lake Effect Snow. Made for some nice long treadmill days! Florida is going to be sooooo nice come next week!

Wow! Seeing these totals...I could have been in the running!

Somewhere around 160 miles of running and 100+ beers!

I'm pretty sure I'll always be a beer behind you, though, AP!
