Wine and Dine will be two weeks out from club registration tomorrow and next week is DL week so I’d like to think that’s more of a lock.

Well since they posted 12 days of Christmas today guess it won’t be this week

For any of you running Springtime Surprise for the 5th time this year wouldn't be nice if the surprise this year is that runDisney will recognize any perfect runners! I have to be honest I ran it the first two years simply because I thought there would be an opportunity to be perfect for a race/challenge. When it came out that runDisney was not recognizing STS I decided to pretend I had not heard that and have stubbornly help out hope and kept coming back. But if it is only a dream then it is time to initiate the Official Unofficial Springtime Surprise Perfect Club!

Garden Rocks act for Springtime Surprise is The Commodores. Such a bummer they couldn't get A Flock of Seagulls until 3 weeks later--what better crowd to play "I Ran" for??

If the Social Media team doesn't get a video of them riding Cosmic Rewind to that song, they've failed.

Anyone else living in this deep freeze? I have never trained through a winter this cold before. It’s going to get to -28c/-14f today. Hopefully this isn’t like this too much for this training plan. I prefer to do my long runs outside for more adaptation and not as boring as the treadmill. What is everyone’s treadmill tips for doing long runs on there? I usually listen to podcasts on my shorter treadmill runs. I am doing the challenge and it’s my first challenge so making sure I stick with the training plan. Any tips for making treadmill running go faster and enjoyable is appreciated.

I train on a treadmill most of the time. I often watch football, or I may pull up a YouTube video of a race I'm training for. But mostly I save guilty pleasure content that I only allow myself to watch on the treadmill. For me that's a random Housewives franchise or Outlander, mostly.
