Re: Contest poll: Did this 405 pound man run the 100m dash under 22 se
Thanks for posting this.
It got me out of my chair, and I dragged my 38-year-old, 330-pound, non-smoking, non-exercising, McDonalds-eating, limping-with-arthritis ass out to the park, to see if I could beat 22 seconds.
I was close.
But I wasn't too disappointed. I didn't train, and I ran at about 75%, not fully trusting my knees, back, nor heart. I'm sure that with a very minimum of training (say, ten minutes a day for a week), I could get under 20.
Actually, when I was in the army and running all the time, I don't think I could break 15. 20 may be optimistic.
Props to the old guy for cracking 22.
EDIT: Oops, I just reread the OP. I ran 100 YARDS today, not meters (an extra 8 yards or so). This stuff is tougher than it looks.
(God damn, my knees are KILLING me! Like I said, thanks A LOT for posting this. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] I'd hate to be that old guy today.)
