Also:

how far should we run the next time? do you prefer shorter or longer goals?

what distance would you like to go for?

50 kms? 60? 70?

Jenny S, don't you want to win this?

Taking us all by surprise, Jenny rushes to the top of the game. But even more shocking is that Jenny has only 0.5 km to go to bring home the victory. 500 meters. What made you stop short of that? Cilene, mcmarj, will you take this chance to beat Jenny?

This challenge was so fast! I'm starting a new one as soon as Jenny runs her measly 500 meters. 

Meet the winners -Meaghan!

Meaghan Edwards lives in Toronto with her new husband. They're having as cold a time as we are up there, but she keeps running all the same. Meaghan is a researcher at a MukiBaum treatment centre for adults and children with complex disabilities. Other things she likes to do: hang out with her hubby, read great books, spend time with her family, talk politics, have adventures and generally try to enjoy the city as much as possible. 

This is how Meaghan runs.

How did you get involved in the runwithe challenges? 

Well I also have a certain affection/obsesssion with marc jacobs so I got here via LTMJ and later the end consumer


Have you always been a runner? 

Even now I don't think of myself as a runner...and I only won this challenge because snow and holidays prevented all of us ladies from reaching the end ;) But I do like to run and I guess I've been doing it for about 3 years.

Why do you run? 

Running is something I do to clear my head-it keeps me sane. Usually :)

How often do you run? 

about 4 times a week

When do you run? 

always always early morning before other things get in the way

Do you run alone or together with someone? 

I don't think I could run with other people---

what's your favourite route? 

That depends on the weather--I sometimes love parks and I sometimes love spying in shop windows for sales...

How far do you usually run? 

5-6 k sometime less sometimes more


What kind of shoes do you run in? 

Nike something or others at the moment

What music do you run to? 

I love to run to indie rock songs that make me move, old school hip hop, the ramones, MIA, nneka and whatever I happen to stumble upon. I love a good audio book too.

How do you beat the "I don't want to go running" moods? 

I really don't try to beat them--I just don't go. But I usually want to run unless I'm sick or it's colder than -15. I'm just a geek like that.

thanks meaghan!

-11 grader. 14 degrees fahrenheit

I ran past this house, trying to imagine a former life there as countess, maid or gardener.

And then past the little badstuga.

It was so cold. my coldest run.

Two days prior, I'd been running with double tights. That didn't work. I felt like running with a frozen leg of lamb in each leg of my pants. very stiff.

then bought fleece lined windproof winter tights. that worked at first, but then I really started freezing. also experienced the bizarre feeling of sweating above the waist and super freezing below.

it was beautiful though. always something.

What Reen saw

Reen runs with us in Malaysia. This was her view today.

SO cold. but beautiful.

Today it's so cold we had to scrape off ice from the inside of the car windows.
These are some of the views from my run.

saying things I*m likely to regret

tomorrow I will run, and I will take pictures during the run!

I challenge you to do the same. I will post all pictures taken during a run.
