Day 1: Running a sub-6 minute mile

Many of you have likely heard about my latest bet to motivate me to improve my fitness.  It was suggested by a few people that I start a blog or use social media in some capacity to share progress and have a little more accountability (even though I am up to my eyeballs in accountability already).  At the very least, it will be nice to have a journal of my progress and training, not to mention the fact that I've always wanted an excuse to journal and/or keep a regular blog.  I've had failed attempts at both, so hopefully I'll see this through to the end.

For those of you who haven't heard, I recently bet several friends that I would be able to break the 6:00 mark for a mile run.  Yes, I know...it's crazy.  I've never done it before.  In fact, I've never come anywhere even close.  It's been on my bucket list for a couple years now, and I thought I could make use of the free time I have before this summer to try and do something great.

Ultimately, this bet is about attempting something incredibly difficult and seeing what happens when I dedicate all my time and energy to accomplishing the task.  I'm looking forward to the journey.
