That's cool, I didn't even know they had stage races for running. Cool.

Apart from lowering my half time, one of my running aims this year is to run two 'fun' races- either costume, or in an interesting location etc. Its nice to mix up the serious goals with not so serious. :)

I've been looking for a challenge too, because I have an unhealthy preoccupation with them. I also feel like I need some direction, and feeling particularly directionless lately has not helped! Let me know if you think of something. Maybe it should be for us to run 3 mornings a week or something.

Enjoy the Bikram class, that sounds like fun!

I'm not a huge Bikram fan, but I am SO JEALOUS of your NYE yoga class. I would probably totally do that just to spend the first moments of the new year in a totally relaxed state. LOVE IT.

I think year-long challenges are somewhat overrated. If there's something you really want to do and it can be made into a challenge? Then that's great. But if you have to look for one, then I think it's best to just skip it, since you won't really be all that into it.

Also, you should totally come out to Seattle to train. We have hills and trails in abundance.

Tara, of course your suggestion has to do with food! :) I like where you're going with it, but the problem is that I'm totally okay not being someone who cooks. I would probably give that up quickly, because it's not that important to me. Still, I like the idea of it. Doing something new - I'd have to think on that. I'd need it to be more specific and concrete than that or it's too easy to cheat and go with the gimmes ("I walked home from work down a different street!"). Interesting idea, though...

And Krav Maga will be awesome! Yay!

Dave: don't joke. I need pacers. I'm coming after you for that. What halfs are on your schedule so far?

I was interested to hear of Renee's half marathon a month goal, so now I'm considering it. But... not if it means running a zillion laps in a gym, etc.

I definitely want to improve my time in the half. Depending on your schedule (& pace), maybe I can pace you in half or part of a full.

Hey, I just realized, you signed up to take some KRAV MAGA classes..that should count towards something for 2012 right?!

I wish I was in Chicago, I would totally do that midnight yoga class. Ah well, another year!

I like the idea of that yoga class.

2012 will NOT be another year in meat for me, that's for sure! Those hot dogs did me in. I'm thinking about doing a different type of Asian meal every month, or else cooking my way through a cookbook, maybe a combination of those two. That, and running 1000 miles.

I will think about 2012 challenge suggestions for you. What about committing to making a fresh vegetarian meal for yourself once a week (or twice a month, or whatever you can do)? Or doing something you have never done once a month?
