The secret thoughts of every arctic explorer:
Yup, the deep winter doldrums have settled in here in the Prairies. :)
We're now in that midpoint of the Challenge where many of us are either:
1) exhausted our initial head of steam;
2) have decided to take a break;
3) are working on too many projects all at once;
OR,
4) all of the above.
Well, take heart folks, we're all in this together and remember that the Challenge is a marathon, not a sprint. So, relax, find your own pace, and enjoy the journey as we head towards spring.
Now for today, we have entries from:
- Tamsin & Oscar who take us on another trundle in the jungle;
- Barks, who has penned up his dogs, but confirms that there are little men from Mars;
- Greg, who cuts a fine a dash in flouncy pants and a fez;
- Kerry, who gives us a bait-and-switch with Dragons;
and Millsy, who unleashes his Necromancer (you won't be able to avert your eyes!).
I'm sure we'll have more as the day move along, and if the stars align, I hope to get something posted myself.
So stay warm and enjoy the show!- Curt
Have a good one
ReplyDeleteCheers Dave!
DeleteEnjoy your day having as much fun as you can wearing pants mate
ReplyDeleteHaha! Will do Millsy, though I could use a day or two of your antipodean temperatures right now.
DeleteBah! Some people haven't trained properly in the run-up and haven't got the stamina. A bit like the London (and I imagine most other) Marathon - all those people blasting off at the start then slowing down after a few miles and getting in the way of people who have trained and judged their pace properly! :)
ReplyDeleteSpoken like a true Challenge grognard, Tamsin. :)
Delete...and also as someone who experienced it first-hand in 1994 (the London Marathon, that is). The main areas where I was passing people were 3-6 miles and then again at 12-18 miles. Unfortunately, you often have to up your pace a bit to get past groups and I somehow gained 6 minutes on my schedule between 12 and 18 miles without noticing - despite slowing back down, that extra pacing hit me in the final two miles!
DeleteHave a good one Curt. Mark me down for all of the above but I’ll have some stuff for you next week.
ReplyDeleteNo worries Pete, we'll catch you on the flipside.
DeleteAlways warm your hands first.
ReplyDeleteSage advice from a fellow Canadian.
DeleteLooks like a cool Sunday, in many ways. :)
