Okay, dad, I have a challenge for you. You other people reading this continue on, some of you are next. Okay, the challenge. Dad, this is the start of a new year, so I challenge you to walk 365 miles this year. Some can be on the treadmill, but only if the incline is on 2.5 or higher and most of the walks have to be outside. One mile a day that's all I am asking. You don't have to walk every day, just 365 by the end of the year. You can keep track of your mileage in a running log. My favorite is http://thinnmann.com/runlog.htm. I will help you set it up if you choose to take the challenge. In return I will run 365 miles this year. You don't have to do it, but I am putting the pressure on making it public :^)
Mom, you can go with him. 365 miles. You can do it too. Mr. Ugly can go also. We don't want him fat.
Jennifer, my friend, I know that you can run and run a lot longer distances than me, so you have to at least double my 365. 730 is awful close to a thousand. I say go for the thousand. I know not fair that I only run 365 to your 1,000, but like I said, you can run a lot longer distances than me.
Michelle, in 2011 you ran your first marathon and I remember your excitement at Chad running his ultramarathon. So I challenge you to run an ultra. Remember it doesn't have to be a 100 miler anything over 26.2 is technically considered an ultra. But 26.3 I think is cheating, so at least a 50K, 31 miles no biggie for you.
Okay, anyone else want to join in leave a comment below. For those of you I challenged... Well, Jessica says,"Git-R-Done!"
Challenge accepted. Dad
