met jihad at strath haven for his mile TT. the bet was and over/under 5:45 for $20. my ploy to get him to run more in hopes he realizes what hes missing. i wasnt doing it so that he can fully immerse himself in running again with 80 mpw but simply as a way to help him realize how much joy an easy 3-5 mile run can be from time to time. i knew he could run the under so $20 was an easy price to pay to watch him suffer. he was out hard af lol (76 second first lap). ended up running 5:44, so you can imagine the pain and grit the last 800 meters entailed. hopefully this log and day can help guys find that the true joy in running is running itself. glory/medals/pr's are all great marks and motivation. but at the end of the day if you have to enjoy just putting the foot to the pavement. (not everyday obvi, but more days than not)
