Just ran my first ever distance race at 28

I do forest work for about 8 months of the year. It’s basically trudging through deep snow half the time or 12 hour days in the summer planting trees.

I have never trained for running and never raced but occasionally I’ll go for a couple hours run for fun.

Last week for a bet with a friend I entered a 1500m race at a local track meet. My friend bet me $100 that I couldn’t finish within 30 seconds of him.

I ended up beating him and now he’s freaking out and trying to get me to join his track club. I would do it if I could eventually get good enough to qualify for some sort of international team or something because I love to travel and he keeps telling me if I actually trained I could.

He ran a 4:09 and I ran a 3:58 (1500m)

These are the posts that give me a good laugh.

First clue you’re a troll: you came to Letsrun. Honestly, unless you’re a serious high school wanker troll, the only reason you’d be here is because you already follow track pretty closely and you wouldn’t need to ask. You should have added a few comments about your friend not being able to get a woman and spending his time here and telling you to post. It would have at least given you a reason to have found this dirty corner of the internet.
