It seemed a lot of guys figured they could ease into the week by attending a running workout led by a fat guy. But, if you know me, I like to ensure 2 things happen when I Q – 1) I do something that is unexpected, and 2) I do something that I hate. I theorized that everyone would expect me to play to my strength – shorter distance with more pain stations. Hence, I went the opposite direction and opting for high mileage with a few pain stations to keep us honest – giving us a record breaking 6 miles for Clydesdales like me, and a whopping 7 miles for some of the Gazelles!
