Listen "Forcing Accountability aka Signing up for Stupid Things"
Episode Synopsis
In an effort to demonstrate that I can be accountable, I ran all of the miles I was supposed to last week. Hey, it's a start. I also managed to run a 10-mile race and come in dead last in my distance. Baby steps.
To further hold myself accountable, I signed up for a couple of challenging events: The Salsa Walk, where participants walk from the Chuy's in Selma to the one in San Marcos, for the 50K, or if you're really crazy, you continue on to the Chuy's in Austin for 100K. I am only half crazy. Past participants describe it as super-dumb and sucky, but I have to find out for myself. That's on March 6.
Starting May 1, I will be participating in the Great Virtual Race Across Tennessee, where participants cover 1,000K (620 miles) until you finish on or before Aug. 31. If you can get in 5 miles per day, you can do it. I am hoping to get in more miles per day by doing races -- including the Capt'n Karl's night trail series this summer.
