The Turtle and the Hare

Apparently I’m the turtle in this tale.  I’m not talking about the children’s fable but a YMCA super challenge.  I suppose I ‘bit’ and probably more than I can chew.

Here it is: 29 days to run/walk 50 miles and bike 180 miles.

Feb 1- March 1.

The running and walking is no problem, but the biking will prove challenging as I struggle with time constraints and the fact that I prefer to only shower 3 times per week (maybe you think this is gross, but I can live with myself). 

So, day one: 4.25mi/treadmill and 3.25mi stationary bike.  At this rate, I’ll have to ride at least 12 miles tomorrow.

Are you wondering about the Hare?  Well, this category is apparently for those individuals that either spend the night at the gym or can afford to spend at least 2 hours per day.  Their running is 80 miles and biking 240 miles.  Seriously?

So, the Turtle category might sound lame, but I think it will prove to be quite challenging.
