Hey, anyone streakin' this year? I think I'm gonna try again.
@Elise4270 As in running down the road naked like Will Ferrell did in Old School? LOL
Of course!
But the Runner's World running challenge from Turkey day (US) to the new year's would also be accepted.
Yeah...got my Runner's World, and read about their version of "streaking." Lol!2 -

@Elise4270 I have actually been thinking about doing the RW streak
I may be crazy even considering it.
What? No no no, It's 56°F out now at 8pm, plenty warm... Still 75-80+ for the high... Definitely do-able. Especially if I find a Santa hat. I just need an accomplice, or two. You my streakin' partner?
I dunno.....I have a Sheriff's Deputy that lives on my street
I have a Light Horse, (Chickasaw nation Popo). They sleep.
Y'all gotta live a little. Do it in a bikini. Nude-ish running should be a thing. Just because some days, ya gotta say *kitten* it.
There's a nude bicycle ride in Washington state. Maybe I should put that on my training calendar.
Just Incase there are any takers. June 2017 https://pdxwnbr.org/3 -

Musings: I got an iPhone 7 recently. On my iPhone 6, tracking a 10 km run on Strava would deplete the battery by 20%. Now, it's only by 8%.1 -
Pictures from my run in Napa. No streaking involved
Note in the first picture you can see a couple of runners I caught sight of going into the area who gave me confidence to go in an run. They were pretty much the only people I saw and were much faster to me... I also stopped to take pictures because, well it was too beautiful not to. The birds are some of the biggest wild turkeys I have ever seen. They didn't seem too concerned about it being close to Thanksgiving though! I ended up with just over 5 miles for the run overall - further than I intended but my ankle held up just fine.

@shanaber - beautiful pics!!! I want to run there too. And drink there.
@azercord - So sorry about your toe. I agree with others - the big toe is quite important to running. You might be able to run, but your gait will change and you may injure something else.
@Getfita54 & @elise4270 - I am planning on the Holiday streak also. I did it last year. I live in Orlando and last winter we had no cool weather. It was in the 80s when I would set out to run - so annoying! I’m hoping this year it will be cooler! I had a minimum of 1 mile - and even after my long bike rides I would run at least 1 mile.
Here is my favorite annual article about the Holiday Streak: (Same one @getfita54 posted in the streak thread) http://www.runnersworld.com/newbie-chronicles/a-season-to-streak
I had an awesome run this morning. The weather was perfect, the sky was clear so saw the big moon. Although it didn't really seem any bigger than any other moon, but it was pretty. Got my five miles in and I just ran without a thought in the world. I need to get back to the speed training - but I’m just in this zone of run however I feel like it. F everything and just run!

Total: 87.88/150.
Today's notes: Ran a tempo run today, for the first time since September. Started with 5 minutes in z1, then 10 in z2 before hitting the throttle for 30 minutes at Tempo HR.
I felt REALLY good running at the harder pace. I ended up averaging 174bpm HR during the tempo portion, with a 8:15 average pace. Last time I did a tempo run, I was running 171bpm and 8:28 pace, so I'm not sure if I'm better, worse, or the same as before. I am running much higher mileage right now, so I went into the run more tired than the last time.
Here's the thing, I had to go VERY slow to get my HR back into z1 for the last 5 minutes of the run, like almost walking. That's how my HR is though, it basically jumps to 2 as soon as I start running. That said, I feel a lot better after that run than after yesterday's slow run. This run was flatter and faster, whereas yesterday's was more hill and much sower.
After the awesomeness that was today's run, I'm definitely looking at adding tempo runs back into the rotation, I feel way too good afterward to keep them away.1 -

Nude Olympics' tradition upheld by Purdue students — Feb. 10, 1975
According to a five-year-old "tradition," the students in Cary Quadrangle at Purdue University hold a "Nude Olympics" on the coldest night of the year.
They goofed this year. At about 2 a.m. Saturday, about 30 Cary males took a naked trot around the tree-line inside quad. It was about 20 degrees outside.
If they'd waited until Sunday morning, they could have had sub-zero weather for the annual event.
"It's not an organized event," said Kurt Sacksteder, a senior and president of the housing unit. "It's a spontaneous thing. An attempt is made to have it on the coldest night of the year and someone decided it would happen Friday night."
He noted, "It doesn't take much to get it started."
Word apparently spread quickly, because freshmen pledges of several fraternities joined in, Sacksteder said. "Cars were pulling up and guys jumping out," he said.
The Cary participants could face disciplinary action from the dormitory management, he said.
James Burwell Cary manager, said the administrators know "snow of the individuals involved, although I can't say we know everyone." Each case will be reviewed, he said, before the hall management makes a decision. Students could be placed on hall probation, which is a step before expulsion from the dormitory.
Burwell said he didn't know if this is the first time disciplinary action is being considered for the "olympics" participants. Last year, the event received national publicity.
"I can see their point of view," Sacksteder said. "They want to discourage it. This is the only publicity Cary Quad receives. We spent a couple of thousand dollars on a Christmas party for poor kids this year and we didn't see that in print."

The shirt is 35$. Ouch. Be a good one to put "embrace the suck" on. Oh wait... That may be misconstrued... Well, "mfp running challenge" then.
I figured I make an attempt to run today. I didn't sleep hardly, Thanks age/hormones? I still might make a go. My rear feels like it's working and I anticipate in 6 months having a great running butt. I wanna swim and I wanna bike but figure running is still probably my best choice to work on regaining cardiovascular endurance and strengthening muscles or reminding them to fire..
Nosey midmonth question game (instead of end of month question).
Whats on the table for Thanksgiving? Sorry UKers - What's your favorite Holliday food?1 -
@Stoshew71 that's awesome! Haha! That my friends is the epitome of freedom!0

Agreed. Now you could do that with the runners high hoodie and not be taken for a weirdo.0 -
So is there enough interest to do a hoodie? If so, who wants to be the central collector and shipper?0
