The Resolution

Today I went to lunch with some co-workers and to start a casual conversation I asked if anyone had a New Year's resolution. Since no one seemed to have any I volunteered mine, to run every day this year. This got a good laugh out of everyone as they looked at me in disbelief. Scott claims that even if I *could* run every day of the year it would be "incredibly idiotic". Well, I got all fired up about this and started talking trash that I probably cannot back up.

I am now engaged in 2 bets on whether I will actually finish this resolution. One is for $20 just until the end of January and the other is $20 for the whole year. I think that even the end of January one will be pretty hard because I am totally out of the routine of doing it and January weather sucks. I'm kind of hoping to get the pot up to $100 or more because I think that it will take that much motivation to actually get me out of bed.

This is definitely a bit of a crazy idea but I think that my odds are pretty high. I'll have to find some way of tracking this bet and link it from here. I think Tora is going to get pulled in as the official judge. She'll be pretty impartial because she's been trying to get me to run more all year. Next year today I'll post and let everyone know how much money I rake in from this thing
