I am in a mid winter workout rut. It is crappy out and cold and I need motivation to get my bum out more and put down better quality milage.
I know there has to be other people that jog and run that will be there.
Just for fun I am by no means a competitive level runner, a hand full of screws and metal plates in my leg have a lot to do with that. Anyway, I say we get some kind of challenge with some form of bet going on.
Since it is the beginning of summer a nice 5k would be a good distance and most people should be able to do that.
Any takers?
Ideas for what is at stake?

Depending on how many people you can get to join, start a pool.

Those who complete the run enter in a raffle for the pot.

$20 entrance fee/person?

I'm game.

How about we put titles to our ski's on the line. :cool2:

No really I'm not a fast runner either. I definitely won't be the first across the line, but that would be some good motivation to work for until then. :biggthumpup:

Let's make it one of those 5K's where everyone has to chug a beer at the end of it. :beerchug:

I would rather be getting wet than sweating in a 5k, but if there was others partisipating and trash talking, I'd be down with it.
What you say saki? I'll even push you half way in your wheelchair.

DAMN making excuses already :pokey:
sounds like the talk of a beardless gimp

Materialize or not I'll still run every day while I am there. It would be more fun and help give me a goal to shot for if there is a challenge. I also happen to know some of the ladies going are runners and i thought i might be nice if there was something for everyone. You know help make the non-riders more a part of the event. But mostly it will force me to train harder if the trash talk gets good.

The camp ground is big enough to run the entire 5k within it's boarders.
If you are serious about doing this, (I feel it's a great Idea) Let me know before next weeks meeting with the Army Corp. This could be set-up with a locals runners club to bring more people into the event?

Since High School no matter how hungover I am i force myself to run at least a mile, sounds bad but it chases the hangover away. Plus you get to puke on your neighbors lawn-driveway-open convertible, you know whatever is convenient. :puke:

Come on gimpy :crutches: If Forest can run why can't you

Awesome can't wait to see this new camp grounds. I am not a serious runner anymore and this is more for fun then anything. But HEY if you think it might help with local exposure and getting a club involved great lets do it! If they want to show up saki too that's cool with me we can wave to him from the finish line. Give me a shout Paul if you want some extra help to make this part of the event.
