November has 4 weeks, so that's ~50 mi/week. Here are the rules:
1) Anybody who goes over 200 mi from Nov 1 to Nov 30 gets a postcard from me. Woohoo, I know, but it's better than a sharp stick in the eye.
2) The mileage winner gets a slightly used BottomFeeder speedo and Feynman's book "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman". This is one of my all-time favorite books because it is both funny and serious, and Feynman was an all-around good guy. You will get my 1986 copy that I have read year after year for at least ten years.
3) To encourage female participation, the woman mileage winner (doesn't have to go over 200 mi, just the woman who ran the most) gets a new Splish swimsuit of her choice from me. She also gets the book. Have at it, the womens!
4) Mileage runner-up gets a prize: Michael Pollan's book "The Omnivore's Dilemma". Definitely one of the best books I've read this year - highly recommended for anyone wanting to know more about where our food comes from.
5) Please report your weekly mileage from Wed to Tues, for example Wed Nov 1 to Tues Nov 7 would be the first week.
Anybody up for this challenge?
Edit: I originally thought November has 5 weeks, which would put the weekly mileage at 40 mi/week (something that I thought I could do). MJuric called me on my math, and I am sorry if I mislead those of you who thought they went for the "40 mi/week challenge". My bad.
