Runner's World is hosting a challenge for the rest of 2012 and I'm going to give it a try.  I won't be following their challenge exactly because I don't run on Sunday and I don't want to start either, so I won't be able to follow it perfectly but I'm going to modify it and run six days a week.  Basically, you run every single day to keep the unwanted holiday pounds from creeping in.  I will keep a log on the sidebar over there-------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

Here is their article:

The 2012 Holiday Running Streak

Stay fit and motivated during the busy (and calorie-filled) holiday season by pledging to run at least one mile every day, Thanksgiving through New Year's.

We know how easy it is to fall off the running wagon around this time of year. If you're a training-plan devotee, you might be in the dead zone—your fall goal race is over, but it's too early to start a plan for your spring goal. If you're more of a free spirit—you run how far you feel like running, when you feel like it—you might skip a run (or two, or several) after a late night at a holiday party, a day spent braving crowds at the mall, or a long trip to see far-away family.
One way to make your December training log entries look less like a string of binary code is to join our second annual Holiday Running Streak. Pledge to run at least one mile every day, from Thanksgiving (that's Thursday, November 22) through New Year's Day.
Often, you'll find that once you get going, you want to go farther than a mile. Sometimes, you don't, and those are your "rest days." (In fact, it's smart to take as many easy one-mile days each week as you'd ordinarily take rest days, to avoid overdoing it.)
Either way, you'll get pulled in—you won't want to break the streak, even if that means getting up super-early before a long car ride to squeeze in your mile. If you do this Streak, and do it smart, you'll emerge from the holiday season unscathed, and maybe even fitter than you were before.

Anybody want to do this with me?  If you haven't started already no big deal, just start now.  If you decide to do it too let me know so I can see how you are doing.
