**EXTRA! EXTRA BONUS POINTS! READ ALL ABOUT IT!**
Our own beloved QueenZipp (Judi) has been struggling with an injury since July. So, to turn bad fortune into good, we are adding a BONUS ROUND to this challenge. GUESS THE DATE that she will be released by her PT to start a wee run again—and actually does it! BTW, she doesn’t know, either. Below please find all the information she herself has.
EVERYONE guessing the correct DATE will receive an extra 10% on the total of their personal goals. Whoever gets CLOSEST will receive 15%.
Rules
1. Post in this thread the DATE (in November) and TIME you think she will actually begin her first run. (Hint: she usually works out in the early morning, but it could also be lunchtime. Or even just outside of her house after she gets home from work).
2. Wish Judi GET WELL SOON!!! (here’s her blog link: http://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/training/index-weekly.asp?memberid=45470)
Judi is honor-bound not to keep track of this thread. Trust me, she doesn’t care. All she wants to do is be able to run. Sometime. Anytime.
