The Contract

The contract includes:

1. The Race (Grandma’s Half Marathon) date is 6/19/2010.Participants will enter the lottery for race entry together between 2/17 and 3/1.
2. If we don’t make the lottery for that race then we will enter the Sour Grapes Half & Half, June 12, 2010. Because we’d have to.
3. Training schedule is 19 weeks long.
4. Once weekly gathering on Saturday at 9:00 a.m. for The Endurance Run. (a.k.a. hell) (If one party cannot meet on Saturday alternate arrangments must be made.)
5. Two Cross-training sessions minimum per week at 45-60 minutes each.
6. 3 runs per week. Two independent runs and the third, on Saturday, together (see #5.)
7. No others will be allowed to join the Saturday runs.
8. NFH is allowed to skip the run on 5/22 due to her impending wedding that evening.
9. Skipped sessions must be made up that week.
10. Each person committs to “Be Jillian” for the other. This includes all tactics up to and including pounding on the door and tattling here.
11. Profanity goes without saying.
12. As does crying.
13. Each participant agrees to post as many times as they run each week at a minimum. But not necessarily on the days of the runs.
14. Running routes near pretty people (a.k.a. Lake Calhoun) will only occur closer to race date. Or after dark. The parkway along the river seems like a good alternative.
