The award goes to: rferron
He went above and beyond not just once but 3 times by running in smog so bad that it caused him to cough and blow black snot. By the third time he was actually used to it.
It takes real devotion to risk permanent lung damage and personal safety just to complete this challenge.
Richard - PM me your address and I’ll send you the bottle of Sportwash you so rightly deserve.
Well done everyone!
Congrats to Richard…now post some pictures.
I want to see pics of him coughing up blood!
It was a pretty stupid run though, congrats.
Bump to make sure this is seen.

How about posting a chest x-ray?
So the poor guy who had to take the SUV without seat warmers to the gym, then had to run on his not-favorite treadmill while listening to The Wiggles gets snubbed here? Jeez, it’s all politics, I tell you. This thing is rigged.
What kind of a “gym” plays The Wiggles?
Now I feel like a slacker for not running when I had pneumonia 
.
He had the wrong iPod, as I recall. Still . . . I would hesitate to ever use the expression “HTFU” in the presence of a man like this.
I forgot about that post. That was hilarious!
Are you really taking off tomorrow? Nothing? Nada? Zilch? No biking? No swimming? No power walking?
I’ll believe it when I see it.

You misunderstood - she said: “I’ll take today off tomorrow”
THANK YOU!
Wow winning the ridiculous run reward with Sters is really something! So many of you have done ridiculous runs…
I’m leaving Sri Lanka today and have lots of thing to do but I’ll try to post some pics a little later…
Speech, speech! <cough, hack>
So many of you have done ridiculous runs…
My most ridiculous run: commute to work, in the dark both ways, at -15 F (-26 C) with a bunch of wind chill. Face mask got so clogged with ice that I couldn't breathe through it anymore.
Still, wasn’t inhaling soot, running around a frozen fire station, or listening to The Wiggles. I aspire to run that ridiculously next winter.
Just received my award! Thanks again Jen for the award and for going through with it. Sending it to Canada sure made it more complicated and expensive so thanks a lot.
As promised here’s a pic of me with my award. You’ll notice that I’ve dedicated my home gym floor to the 100/100:
I’m sorry it took so long! Glad you got it though and thanks for the pic.
