    Common, folks - don't let us Frenchies dominate the ToRC ;-) Winter is on the wane (at least in the Northern Hemisphere) so log yer miles, kilometers, walking, running barefoot or in minimalist shoes. No excuses! Summer is ahead, you want to be ready, right?

    June ToRC is up and running (sorry ;-))

    Apologies for the delay, got side-tracked this weekend, everything is back to normal.
    Let's get out there and log those miles and kilometers. Walking counts too, hikers!

    Bonjour from sweltering France! 99°F in Paris - ouch!

    I'm putting up the links for both July and August because I will not be connected this time in a month (bike trip to Germany on the EV3).

    If there ever was a great time to go out and run barefoot, its now! Log those miles, let's see some good competition in July and August!

    Cheers,

    Christian

    Just logged mine, first time the pool has ever been small enough for me to be number 1. ;)

    Hey Christian, seems that the September sheet might have disappeared? I think the Sept and October links are to the same sheet.

    Hi Larry, right you are - I must have been drunk yesterday, got my sheets mixed up... Actually, it was more like I woke after a very long post-race nap and was not quite right in the head. Same difference ;-)

    All is well I think - so sorry for the cock-up.

    Cheers,

    Christian

    Hello everybody, ToRC November is up - go out there and run! Remember, frostbite only sets in with negative temperatures, and only if super-cooled liquid stays on your bare feet. Like salty slush - that stuff is evil... A bit of snow is ok, especially, fluffy snow. Just keep moving, and keep your run short...

    Have fun!

    Christian

    And... ToRC December is up and running (pun intended).

    Worried about gaining substantial percentages of your body weight over the course of the holidays?

    Ease your mind, right now - go and run. Then do it again, and again, until you have a year-end-sized calorie deficit to buffer all of your calorie excesses. (This may take several runs ;-)

    The trick is to come into the combat under-weight. By January 1 or 2, 2020, you should be - ideally - right where you are today, on December 1.

    Easy!

    Alternative method - after each culinary excess, go and run it off. Remember - running barefoot in the blizzard burns TONS of calories...

    You now have TWO methods to maintain your fighting weight (thank me later).

    Now go out there and run! And log your distances...

    2020: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

    Every run or walk, performed barefoot or using minimalist shoes, of at least 1 mile (= 1609 m) may be counted.

    THIS IS THE OFFICIAL SOURCE FOR ToRC - CHAPTER PRESIDENTS AND VOLONTEERS SHOULD GET THE LINK FOR EACH MONTH HERE, OR POINT THEIR MEMBERS HERE.

    This year, new strategy: I will update THIS message each month, with the corresponding month link. That way we avoid stringing out the information over pages and pages...

    Of course, you're welcome to comment below. Just remember to get your ToRC links here, for 2020!
