I think people could learn a lot from you about persevering through to the end. Send me an email. I live here in Austin and would like to take you out to dinner as an excuse to discuss PUA techniques. Hey, you’re a great story teller.

Even though your real reason for the training turned out to be the bet, your original intent behind the statement “I never exercise. I’m going to train and run five miles.” seemed to be that you wanted to get into shape (unless you were just baiting him for a bet all along). It turned out though that even though you accomplished you goal, it really didn't help you long term as far as health since you said you didn't run again for several years! That’s pretty funny.

Love this story, especially since I've been a competitive distance runner for most of my life. Despite training my ass off for years, the most I've ever won is 50 bucks at a small town road race. Here I am running 6:20 p/mile for a marathon, getting jack shit and you pull out one 7min mile to win $1500!! That is insane.I think I need to quit this racing BS and start hustling people like your friend:) Ha! Love this story, especially since I’ve been a competitive distance runner for most of my life.

You had a clear goal in mind and you did it no matter what. That just underlines the power of setting goals. You had a clear goal in mind and you did it no matter what.

I had twelve weeks left. If I just increased by one mile each week I would make it.
