What a great way to start this 10 day adventure! My good buddy Jeff very generously took my bet, but also a few side bets. One of those was to complete a 15 miler at sub 6:45 pace. When he proposed it, my gut reaction was, maybe I shouldn’t even bother because it could sabotage the rest. I decided to give it a go anyway because $100 is a lot of money and will go along way to finishing up the 3rd floor.
I’m not gonna lie. I was nervous. I haven’t really ran this fast for this long in a while since COVID shut down all racing. It was fun to have a reason to go fast. To dig deep and run an honest effort.
Big thanks to Jeff for being so generous with this bet!
