5th Annual December 200mi Running + Drinking Challenge - RESULTS POSTED!!!
Quote | Reply
It's baaaaaack! It's time for the FIFTH (yeah seriously how did that happen?) Annual December 200mi Running + Drinking Challenge.

December is a time of too many office parties, family dinners, over drinking and over eating. However, December is also a really awesome time of year to log a sh*tload of miles to help keep your waistline in check. So, here we go for challenge #5...

Any running counts. Water running - use your LSD pace to figure that distance out. We also log a point a standard drink (1 12oz beer, 1 5oz wine, 1 1oz spirits).

Who's in? I am aiming for 200 miles and half of the drinks I drank last year (ugh). Go Go Go!
----------------------
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) join the 200mi Dec running & drinking challenge
2) join the companion 200mi Dec running & drinking challenge - the Drinking part
3) Log your runs in the training log as usual
4) Log your drinks as "Other" - 1 minute of "Other" activity = 1 standard drink. It's total not frequency, so you can lump all your evening's drinks into ONE entry.

As real beer only comes in 22s, can I count that as two?

I should add... I'll be coming off IMCOZ on 11/27, so hopefully I can hit the 200 mark (running!) ;)

Booourns! We won't know your ranking or progress if it isn't in the ST training log... :-(

oh well. I think filling out my Garmin connect log, my Daily Mile log, my excel spreadsheet log and my BeginnerTriathlete log are enough.

I just stumbled across this message board today, so I hope you don't mind if I crash your party: I'm in! December is usually a weak month for me, mileage-wise, so this will be a good motivation. As for the drinking, I'm in college, soooo that more or less takes care of itself.

Thank you, AP! Challenge Cairns was getting to be a pain in the ass and very hard to do with long skiing weekends...

This I can handle quite well.

Nice! Yep, that's how this started - December is usually the WORST month for me for mileage - or at least it *used* to be... now it's consistently one of my best. I keep the weight down, and am way better off come Jan for the early races... As for being in college - man if I had done this challenge in uni, I likely would not have passed many finals ;-)

Oh and welcome to ST, don't worry about the assholes here (everyone's got one right?) - just don't be one yourself :-)

Wow dude, you seriously need to simplify your life. I used to use FitDay.com, CyclingPeaks, some other running log, and an excel file too. I only use ST Log now.

Another bump for the holiday crowd... who all ate & drank too much and likely didn't run enough...
