So, last post I introduced you all to Rich, my buddy in PA - and he is now runninng (and I’ve started again too, believe it or not)! Go Rich!
With a lot of coaxing, and a little bit of bribery I talked him into getting a Nike+ SportBand, and more importantly to start running. He has fulfilled his end of the bargain thus far (posting his first 1.3 mile run today), and in turn I will fulfill mine when he reaches the agreed upon milestones. 100 Miles earns him a bottle of Scotch (here’s the bribery part), and when he reaches 500 miles, I promise to fly out to Pitt with a FINE bottle of Scotch and will help drink it in celebration. I’m excited to get someone else interested in the sport, and am looking for your comments to help encourage him to stick with it!
So I’ve decided to try something new here at The Diabetic Runner, posts from a guest runner. I created an account for Rich to log in and post articles here on the site, and there will be a new category for all his posts: “RICH RUNS” for you to follow his story as a beginning runner. Please let him know what you think of his journey by commenting on his posts, and with me - talk him into signing up for the “Kick the Couch” 5K Race in Oct.
Welcome Rich!
Running for riches,
Jamie, The Diabetic Runner

sweet! another sucker!
LOL - yep!
I think there’s a typo in there. It says “I’m excited to get someone else interested in the sport” when you meant, “I’m excited to get someone else interested in the spirit.”
