Smizzy Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Let me paint the picture.... It's halftime of the AFC Championship game and the Colts are down big to New England. Maxman says " I will run 10 miles if the Colts win this game" The rest is history. Will he ever run those 10 miles? I plan to keep this betting open for a while!

PFSIKH Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 At one time? Maybe, he will over the next 10 years, but not at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor99 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I bet everything I have that he won't. Max is fat, in case you didn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I made that statement 6 weeks ago. I have been running just about 3 times a week since then. (And it has been cold and snowy). Will I do it? Time will tell. Am I giving this 100% -- absolutely. I have a 5k lined up in April. It will take a LONG time to get to 10 miles. I am giving it everything I have though.

Good luck, Max. 10 miles is a superhuman feat and unnecessary IMO. Stick to the 5K's. Be sure to take care of your feet. Plantar Fascitis(heel spurs) is a very common condition that is underpublicized. It ended my running career because I didn't realize what it was until too late. Now I'm stuck to the Stairmaster, and will only brave one mile running/week. Be sure to rotate running shoes. Never run in the same pair consecutively, and toss them after 6 months. Invest in one of those rope stretchers, and keep it or a towel next to your bed. The most important strecth you'll do all day is that one just before you hop out of bed. STRETCH those fascia!

Ok, so you are already making excuses (i.e. being cold and snowy). In a month it will be too rainy. Then in the summer it will be too humid. Then you will have about a month in the fall before it becomes too cold again. I am thinking of betting the over on when you will reach 10 miles. 2012 should be about right.

How long have you known me? How many things have I made excuses for? When I am right I am right. When I am wrong I am the first one to man up and admit it. Remember my Red Sox avatar? I didn't blink. I know that I will accomplish this. But if I sound too confident I will sway the voting. I need to remain semi-impartial. (no semi-impartial jokes from the peanut gallery).

Thanks Tom. I have to get better running shoes. Right now I am just using cross trainers. No pain yet but the distance isn't all that far right yet. As far as running shoes being rotated -- damn I didn't know that. I think I better hit the running forums and educate myself soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get yourself a VIP membership at roadrunnersports.com. This is where I buy my running shoes. I recommend shoes with a good arch even if you're flatfooted. They have every shape and size, even widths. It's easy to shop from their informative catalog, and if you need help their sales staff is very well trained and knowledgeable. Right now I've been using Mizuno Wave Creation 7. Dump those cross-trainers NOW and invest in some good sneaks. They're too heavy and aren't conducive to a good stride. Your feet will thank you.
