Running Challenge

Posted June 4th, 2007 by mike

A friend from home will be visiting me at the end of the month and is currently into running all kinds of 5ks.  Some for fun and charity and some for actual racing.  After talking for a moment about me running again, he got the brilliant idea for me to try and win my $50 back that I lost to him in the weight loss competition back during thanksgiving last year.  I thought what the heck.  Then I looked at the calendar and realized that it is coming up in about 20ish days or so.  I have to get myself back into shape in 20 days.  hrm, this might be a tough one being it is raining, let me correct myself, pouring today.  I told him I would take a “test” run tonight (now pushed back until tomorrow morning) and let him know what I think.  Seems as if I might be stretching myself to thin with trying to do this and get some stamina for the 24 hour race or maybe I’m doing the right amount.  Who knows.  Either way, I would really like to get my 50 bucks back from him.  Seems as if its back to running for the next week or 2 with some bike rides on top of it.  I have a feeling I’m going to be one tired pup for the next little while..
