I have accepted many challenges(formerly known as dares) over the years ranging from eating ice cream sandwiches to singing in front of people. Last week my wife told me that she wanted her birthday present to be a signed contract stating that I will run a half marathon with her this summer on June 6. This is by far the greatest challenge ever issued to me. Ironically, when we stopped on the Biggest Loser last night the contestants were running, you guessed, a half marathon of 13.1 miles. I figure if they can do it then so can I. The challenge has been accepted and if I don’t at least attempt to complete this race then I will have to suffer the penalty for failing a challenge-I will have to shave off one of my eyebrows. I have accepted defeat on challenges before and suffered the consequences. The growing number of challenges led the International Challenge Committee to make eye brow shaving the current penalty for failure. So, come Middle School camp, I will either be in great shape and an avid runner or I will be the same old lovable, short, fat Heath with only one eyebrow. I love my wife and I know this means alot to her and it should also mean alot to me. I look forward to training, racing together, and knocking one more challenge out of the park.
Shaved eybrows don’t grow back about half of the time. Just a little more incentive to complete the challenge.
That is the best challenge yet!
I’ve been exercising for 2 weeks and I just broke under 200 pounds!!!
Find a treadmill, set it on a comfortable pace and jack that incline up to like 12, put a couple cd’s on the ipod and walk for about 45 minutes. It has really helped me. Eating regular meals has helped too…never knew breakfast mattered so much.
This is awesome Heath! Good luck
shaving an eyebrow is minimal compared to some of penalties i have seen you have. it still hurts thinking about it.
