201

I don't think too many people our age have seen the movie "Wildcats" about a woman who takes over a inner city high school football team from Chicago. At one point in the movie the Coach challenges all of the players to an endurance run and if she stopped running before the last person stopped she would quit the team. Well, after discussing the benefits of excercise with the summer camp kids I gave them the same challenge except the winners would get lunch. Well, since we ran inside the gym around the basketball court everyone knew that 20 laps around is one mile. Honestly, in my head I figured after 60 laps more than 3/4 of the group would be gone, however, only half had finished. And even at 100 laps there was still about 15-20 kids. But at 176 laps there was six kids still moving with a good stride. Before I knew it I had to run 201 laps to win which is 10 miles. We ran for an hour and fourty-five minutes straight without stopping and my legs are wobbly even a few hours after the fact. Before today I had never run more than six miles straight without stopping. I guess you never know what you can do until you try. Right know I'm trying to figure out how those Africans win all those marathons. Not to be offensive but ten miles hurt, I can't imagine running twenty four. Anyway, I'm praying now to get through the night without leg cramps. Overall, this was an interesting experience. I'm not sure if I will do it again though. LOL. Peace.
