60 HOURS IN 60 DAYS

A friend of mine did this great Bikram Yoga challenge:  60 Classes in 60 Days.  I used to be very much into yoga, but a back injury made me quit a few years ago, but I was quite intrigued with her quest.  Those of you who know me, know that I constantly challenge myself –training for and completing an Iron Distance Triathlon without having swum in 18 years to 100 consecutive push-up to a 24 hour trail run.

My back can’t handle 60 yoga classes in 60 days, but could my body handle 60 hours of running in 60 days?  Let’s find out.

When I first posted this challenge on the OTRA website and on Facebook a few weeks ago, I thought perhaps a handful of people might join me on this venture – mainly the same people I run with every week.   I had even suggested a cookout at my house on the last day of the challenge, May29th, the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend.  Boy, has this thing taken off and I LOVE IT!  Right now, we have 33 Facebook followers and at least 10 other people that have let me know they are participating.  We have 3 people from California and 2 from Texas on board!

60 Hours in 60 Days is going to be a challenge.  10 days in, I’m right about 10 hours of running, but can I keep this up for 50 more days???  Join me in this challenge.  I’ll motivate you if you’ll motivate me!  And let’s try to not leave some 20 hours for that final Saturday.  I want you to come to the cookout!
