The Challenge

A few days ago I was thinking about creating a challenge so that I would hold myself a bit more responsible in the Midnight Streak. I figured that the 5k run in London this morning would be a good starting point. And by 5k I mean women's 5k. And by women's 5k I'm not talking about the winner. I was thinking that Kim Smith would be a good marker for my challenge. This morning she ran 14:52 to take third place in the Aviva London meet. That's the standard. 14:52 or bust for tonight. My excuses will be that it's (a) hot, (b) humid, (c) starts at 11:00pm. My excuses won't work because (a) Kim is a girl, (b) she didn't win, (c) she's a girl.
