My roommate is going to wake up in an hour and a half and start running. He will have 24 hours to run 45 miles. Collectively, between 4 of us, we have bet him $100 that he can't do it. My share is $30 of it. Either way it will be bitter sweet, because I will feel bad taking his money if he only runs (only! ha!) 30 miles. Good luck, my friend.
Update: As of midnight he was at 36 miles. He has till 3am. The bastard might actually do it. Amazing.
This whole thing started because he had this crazy idea to run the entire Florida coast in 30 days (which would be 45 miles a day) next summer. We laughed and didn't think he could even do one day. I still don't think he could do it for 30 days straight but I'm pretty sure he's gonna win this bet. He definitely earned it.
Another Update: I talked to my friend Daniel today, who was going to run the last 10 miles with him. I have some terrible news. On mile 43, his legs gave out, Thomas fell over, and started throwing up all over the place. Apparently he's fine now, because hes at CiCi's Pizza. I feel so terrible. He did way better than I thought he did. Winning the $30 did let me pick up a new tee @ threadless though. I think I'll take him out to lunch with the rest of it.
