Pen Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I don’t get the Dumpster Fire idea. 20 miles in 20 days seems like a good concept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both politically and because of the pandemic. So it's a reference to that. Dumpster Fire 1. A complete disaster. 2. Something very difficult that nobody wants to deal with. This project is a complete dumpster fire. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Dumpster Fire 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just bad, but like the whole thing just went up in flames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in an area that has had very terrible wildfires and other fires over this past summer and we are not out of fire danger yet. we thankfully don’t have any nearby right now, but still have intermittent poor air and awareness of fires still burning. And signs up about caution still needed. I think it makes jokes like not having smelled a dumpster fire and also the T-shirt image fall flat for me - even after having the meaning explained.

I wasn't joking. Dumpster fires are horrific and toxic. It makes you sick and gets in your hair and doesn't wash out. It's awful. We are in a year of mass deaths, suicide, domestic violence, and bankruptcy. It's a good analogy. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Are we doing this? Unofficially? I've been bedridden for almost 18 months and I'm willing to try this. I think I could walk a mile a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 We could gather members, do November 1st-20th. That would give us a week to gather people and be done by Thanksgiving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I've been trying to walk 4 miles a day. But maybe I should try running 20 in 20 or some other challenge. It's a neat idea for each to tailor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I started with last year's pumpkin run. What can I say? I'm motivated by tshirts. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do Beachbody programs for the t-shirts but I'm always embarrassed by my lack of progress and don't send in the pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 This is the back of the Stir Crazy shirt. 🙂 I don't get the medals, only the shirts. Joining even once gets you access to a Facebook group that is actually very encouraging and supportive. I don't post much but I stay a member. They also have coloring pages to use to track your distance, a different one for each challenge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check which ones are still available. I've been doing them over the past year. Some of the past ones are still available on the website under Sale/Clearance.
