Thanks I was wondering why we didn't have one yet.

I have really enjoyed the Winter Point Series http://forums.nike.com/thread.jspa?t...8533&tstart=60
Hopefully there will be another in the Spring, because this got me out running and made me faster.

I am looking at doing this, but will need a partner: http://forums.nike.com/thread.jspa?t...2971&tstart=15

I saw you on the front page of that one several times. You did very well. Those challenges came right after I had surgery and I recorded some pretty lame times. I hope they do another point series because that was the most organized challenge yet.

Have you checked the overall results of the winter points series? I had checked several times but it was not up yet. I would imagine that you have done very well on all of the speed ones. Fuegote tore it up on the distance weeks.

Before this last week I was in 4th and I hope to maybe move up to 3rd with my best run ever. 7.5 miles in 51 minutes. I have never run longer, faster. It was a good feeling.

I swear those guys that win these things cheat somehow by not having their things calibrated correctly. That one guy did the 7.5 miles in 39 minutes. That is flying.

You guys are going to force me to go buy another Nike+ kit, I lost the part you put in the Nano.

I love the challenges. I have some RSL Fun RUns (we are running to each stadium as a team). We started in SL, and have already covered our trip to LA, up to San Jose and are back in Nevada heading East. If you guys want in, I"ll post the invite.

Go figure. Once again I have a race scheduled shortly after the fastest 5k challenge ends.
