Challenges in the challenge

Me and my big mouth.   I made the mistake of challenging Wonder Woman to do extra challenges.  I don’t know why I thought she would just accept and do them.  DUH!!  Of course, she had to put a challenge out for me as well.  Will I ever learn???

After all that complaining, I actually enjoyed trying to complete my challenge.  The deal was, she had to do all these crunches (regular, reverse, w/ a twist, and double) and I had to run a mile.  Mind you, I don’t run!  I walk about 3.5 to 4 miles with a tad of running thrown in here and there.   She challenged me to run a mile non-stop.  Yeah right!!  Well, I gave it my best effort.  And, I admit, even I was surprised!!

I wasn’t able to do a mile without stopping because where I go has some very long steep hills.   So, I ran when it was flat or down hill and attempted to go up a few times.  I’d have to slow to a brisk walk and then start running again at the top.  So, total, I’d say I ran about 1.5 miles and walked the other 2.  I’m pretty dern proud of that.

So, never let it be said that fat people can’t run.  ‘Cause I just did!!  And I can’t wait to do it again!!  Though, I doubt it’ll be tomorrow  :lol:
