It's no secret to anyone who's my friend on Daily Mile or Facebook (or has the misfortune to sit near me at lunch) that I managed to just barely squeak by on the 100 mile challenge for October.  I finished my last .5 miles at about 9 on the last possible night.  Procrastinators of the world, unite...tomorrow.

It's no secret that you always have more time to fit in exercise than you think you have.  I ran and walked 41.3 miles in 6 days.  I never would have thought I could fit those miles in.  It didn't help that I'm seriously wimpy about running more than one day in a row and walked about 18 of that last 41 miles.

(It's no secret that walking takes a LOT longer than running.)

This cracks me up...the third guy is like me, only blonde and shirtless.

It's no secret that I'm a little competitive.  Sitting with a week to go and a 40-mile deficit, I didn't even have a thought of finishing until I read a comment from someone in the same boat: "It is going to be a long week for those who are actually going to get the 100 miles.  This would be including myself".  And I immediately thought, Well if he can do it, I can do it!

It's no secret that I have awesome friends who support me and cheer me on, even in silly challenges that don't really mean anything. You guys are the best.
