Figured a tough one would be appropriate for December as this month usually is a tough one on those trying to lose weight. Your guesses proved that it was indeed tough too. Excellent & creative guesses as always ranging from a swimming pool drain to the inside of my colon (if only it were that clean) to a plastic thing from a box of pizza (Papa John's comes to mind). There were a couple that reference a bucket also, perhaps we can say those were closest. But lets just call it a tie between all that participated for this one shall we.
Ok, second order of business, the 13.1 mile walk, jog or crawl from Sunday. Christine put this event together and she completed hers in impressive fashion. Be sure and stop by her blog and give her a high-five!
As for myself, nothing high-five worthy here... On Friday I came down with a cold, Saturday I tried to medicate and kick it to the curb. Sunday I awoke and told myself I was feeling better and went out and set off to click off some miles...

Sick and still got in some miles...you are a rock star lol! You did better than me, I was sick for a few days last week and I only managed the gym once while I was sick.
ReplyDeleteLet's take on this week strong!
I was really hoping I won!
ReplyDeleteSick and still out there- that's dedication! Glad you're feeling better! And thanks for being such an inspiration :)
ReplyDeletegood job with your attempt at the 13.1!! Atleast if you have to walk at night this is a pretty time of year to do it, as long as the pesky cold doesn't stop you.
ReplyDeleteGet better soon!
ReplyDeleteYou listened to your body, and that's really the important thing. Respect your limitations! Feel better soon so you're not sick during the holidays!! HUGGS!!!! Christine
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon! I didn't get miles in but I climbed several flights on the ladder putting up my Christmas lights.
ReplyDeleteAwwww i hope your feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteSorry you're feeling sick. Good job on getting out there anyways and, as frustrating as it was, it was important to listen to your body.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon and great for not overdoing it so you can keep on going.
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon, Patrick. I love doing my run in the evening these days and checking out all of the outdoor decorations. I find myself making weird little bargains with myself, like "Run until you get to the Homer Simpson house....run until you get to the penguin house". It definitely keeps things interesting!
ReplyDeleteBy "representation of your colon," I meant "entry port to a waste disposal biohazard bin" ... wasn't that clear? Ahem. hehehehe
ReplyDeleteThat WAS a tough one, Patrick. Kudos to the bucket people!! That is about as close as you could hope for this month.
Sorry you are still under the weather. I hope it doesn't last as long as a Chicago winter.
Get well soon!!
Just take care of yourself & get better soon! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr is all I can say to that weather! I go out on the high 30's here in CA as it can get that cold in the early morn.
ReplyDeleteMaybe save up for a treadmill for the home! :-)
Indeed, well done on still dragging yourself outdoors for 4 miles whilst under the weather. Sounds like a positive and permanent change in behaviour to me - even though you're a bit ill your body still craves some movement! NSV, perhaps?
ReplyDeletedid I read correctly?? running... outside... in 20 degree air!!!??? ... refreshing!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I just went and turned up the heat, got a sweatshirt, put on a jacket, took the blanket off the bed, ...... burrrr just reading your post made me cold!!!
get better :0)
Im with you in the hacking and sneeeezing.
ReplyDeleteAllergies here but no different :)
Stay warm and listen to your body.
If it demands rest----give it :)
xo
I most have caught your cold! I have been coughing, sneezing and sniffling. And I rarely get SICK!!!
ReplyDeleteYep, you also have a lot of snow (IL??) like us here in MN. Good thing most people keep their sidewalks reasonable so us walkers can get out and about.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and lending support. I will be back!
Sick and still completed 4 miles.... I am seriously impressed, WTG, now get some rest and get to feeling better before you get the rest of the miles in
