edpaffjr.comOne of Kim’s coworkers circulated an email encouraging people to sign a pledge to run 100 miles between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I first thought that it would be impossible for me, but after Kim put her name on the spreadsheet I felt like I had to do it as well. So far I have to admit that it is going pretty well so far. We started off by running the four mile Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving with nearly 10,000 others. It was a bit crowded and unorganized at the start, but we still ended up running under nine minute miles with a finish time of 35:31.
Since then I have managed over twenty more miles of running and walking. With one week down (I don’t plan to get any miles today) I have completed 25.2 miles. That’s just over a quarter of the way to the goal of 100 miles! Over 100 others have put their name on the tracking spreadsheet and only a couple dozen others are ahead of my progress. That makes me feel pretty good, though this is definitely the most I’ve run in a long time. It’s probably too late for any others to join in the fun, though feel free to do so if you can remember your distances over the last week, dad. My goal is to finish it before Christmas Eve, so I’m not stuck with big runs on the last two days.
Uncle Ed only needs about a week …
He just added himself. One week down and he is barely a mile ahead of me!
nice!
