re: I lied to a girl I'm trying to impress, told her I can run a 5k in under 29 minutes (DONE)

I’m going to go ahead and request an update after tomorrow’s race

Good luck tomorrow!

I'm estimating 33:30 for your time.

So lying was your first choice? Hmm

Just run as fast as you can in the beginning, that way you can get a head start and relax the rest of the race.

Yo.
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy.
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti.
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready.
To drop bombs.

Under 40 mins. Honestly, that’s impressive having never ran anything before.


Dudes bib was 240 and he finished in 240th place.

I would tell the girl that you don’t run 5k’s for time anymore, but to get as close to finishing your bib number in overall place! Can’t do any better!


Paid $40 for the race, finished in 40 mins. He was one of the top value finishers at $1 per min. Imagine, your girl only got $.75 per min

She ran this same 5k last year and finished in 31 minutes.

If this is true, someone should be able to find who she is at least.

If you’re in good shape you should be able to do it. I ran a 20:08 6 years ago when I was 50, and I had only started training about two months earlier. I’ve always been a fairly good runner, though.
