I thought this was the coolest idea ever. I wish I had friends here, I’d totally start my own club. Alas I can only dream. I got this from my favorite blog by a guy I don’t even know, http://www.defectiveyeti.com :
Some of of my of friends banded together to form The Race-ists Club. Every Sunday two of them run a 200 m. foot race to see who will win, and, afterwards, everyone heads to a local pub to celebrate the outcome. Although members aren’t technically required to be out-of-shape when they join, they are prohibited from training for their race in any way.
PS: Go to the website to see the awesome picture that goes with it!

I love defectiveyeti. I haven’t been checking it lately, but this is amazing, because I have practically already started this club! I posted about it in my lj, briefly, a little while ago. I find a nice little running competition, especially at night, to be highly rewarding.
I like the idea that only one race is actually run by only two people, and then much beer is to be enjoyed by everyone.
