Oh my god!!! So I am the team Captain for the "Buckeye Diva's" (Hit the Road with the Buckeyes Challenge) it is a physical challenge designed around the 2009 OSU football season. Teams of five can “walk” the distance to the Big Ten away football games by tracking daily steps. The challenge is sponsored by Your Plan for Health for all faculty and staff. You can win some really great weekly prizes all while getting in shape!
Anyways, I have been trying run anywhere between 8-12 miles a day, and one of my teammates decided she wanted to have a 1 on 1 challenge. It was a simple competition, where we would try to get more miles than each other from Friday to Monday. It wasn't easy but... I managed to get 14.72 miles on Friday- 24.45 on Saturday- and 20.06 on Sunday! And I won!!! I was able to get 59.23 miles in three days :0) But unfortunately, I feel like I am unable to move LOL every muscle in my entire body aches. I hate to lose in anything, so to me it was all worth it!!!
