...so, what...the retarded kids could hack it, and you couldn't?
It's kinda funny but I do sympatize with you though. I'm not the running type either and to start running uphill when you're not used to it.. that's pretty f*cking tough...

Being in the van is kinda like the walk of shame. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Man, I've never been a runner, or had a runner's frame (hell, the last time I was under 200lb was 13 I'm sure) but in high school football practice I had to run drill for 2 hours and then do a 1 mile run. So if my big ass could do that, you should have been able to jog 3 miles.
You have no choice but to take one of the deactivated bullets I sent you and shoot yourself with it. It's the only way to save your honor. [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

We were doing all the work and supposedly fundraising (although I can't figure out where the hell our first dollar came from) and nobody even mentioned the kids we were supposed to be running for...

Although I suppose they could've been on the first stretch of the run... [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]
The torch was handed off to us by another group that had just finished.
And KK: I have a special bullet and gun for that. [img]wink.gif[/img]

OK- a little prologue first.
I'm in one of the local police department's youth programs they got going on. We ride with them while they're on patrol, help out at events they sponsor, etc. It's sort of like the boy scouts... only way more friggin' awesome.
Well, today, the department was participating in a stretch of highway that the Special Olympics' torch has to be carried through.
About 3.2 fucking miles to be exact. And about 3 of those are on an incline. This won't mean anything to you guys, but it was from CarQuest Autoshop (we started here) to Lowe's Hardware.
Yeah... we had to do it. I'm not the running type. I was good for about 150 feet, and then my ass was dead tired.
I just couldn't do it... I was in the "support van" (a huge Chevy van that followed us, along with the flashing police escorts in front and back) for almost all of the steepest hills. I tried... but goddamn... While I was doing it, that's the most exhausted I've ever been while running, or attempting to do so.
I felt better when we finally reached Lowe's, though.
We also had a few police cadets from the local academy that were there, as well. Holy hell... did anyone really expect me (or anyone else that wasn't in the shape they are) to stay caught up?
But thank God I wasn't the only one lacking out there today... several others were in the van with me at times. Including one girl my age who looked very athletic... but wasn't. [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]
The Sergeant and another officer (both of whom I know fairly well) were there with us, as well.
You may be wondering if I could've not showed up for the run. We all (my friends in the program and I) got a letter from the Sergeant saying that it was absolutely mandatory that we be there. This was actually in bold on the postcard.
I came partly because I didn't want the others or the cops there especially to think less of me.
But I guess in retrospect it wasn't the worst thing. Could've been worse. [img]eek.gif[/img]
At least we got a t-shirt and hat out of it. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

I thought they outlawed Nazi youth groups? [img]wink.gif[/img]
My wife and I decided to lose some weight this summer. I weigh 190 and jog 2.5 miles, then bike another 6 miles EVERY FREAKIN DAY [img]eek.gif[/img]
In conclusion: exercise sucks [img]graemlins/star.gif[/img]

yeah, bulemia doesn't really count as excercise for that chick....
Im staying away from the rest of this, because "youth group" "volunteer" "out of shape" not to mention "special olympics" is just TOO damn easy...
I run and ride the bik occasinally but I still prefer to go to the gym. and Im on my fifth year with gym training. Running aint my thing but if you arent a good runner just run very slow in your own paste.
