A month or so ago, a friend of mine suggested a fundraiser of sorts. Several tragedies have fallen a particular family and he wanted to do something to help. He began with something like "I've asked a few other people to join me and they all think I'm crazy, so I thought I'd asked you!" I should have known from that, this was going to be an adventure.
The adventure was this: there is a running event in May, here in NJ, called "3 Days at the Fair". It's an event sponsored by NJ Trail Series, and offers options for your self torture : )
My friend (I'm sure that I may have a few other names for him at the end of all this) wanted to know if I was game for the 24 hour challenge and wanted to run 100 miles in that time.....all for charity......consecutively.
Now if you know me, you know that I procrastinate in a world class fashion. I put the "pro" in procrastination. This seems different. This is bigger than me or my procrastination perfection. I have the chance to push my body beyond anything that I have ever done and all for a good cause. I wanted to, hopefully, motivate myself to continue to train on a regular basis, and thought that this blog would help. Kind of like holding my self accountable for something by laying it all out there. I'm hoping this works, and maybe I'll learn something along the way ; )
