Pilot Mountain Challenge
Believe it or not, we started at the bottom of Pilot Mountain (The Knob) there in the back ground if you are not familiar with the area, and we ran to the top. 2 Miles up! I finished 13 out of 81 runners and my buddy Kenneth finished just 9 seconds behind me at 14th place.
It was a great run, the fellowship was awesome and I plan to do it again next year.

I have been running now for more than 10 years and it is something that has really caught on in this society that is trying to be very health conscious. If you live in the area of Mt. Airy or Cana and you like to run, come join us.

Training Log Thursday May 7th, 2009
Kenneth and I ran just over 5 miles this evening. I made a commitment last Thursday to eat better and lose these extra pounds. Last week Iweighed in at 212 lbs on my scales at home and tonight I weighed in @ 206lbs. I can win this battle, I did it several years ago and I will do it again. It has been a busy week with the funeral of a great friend and then 2 nights of revival preaching so the exercise has suffered but we are headed into a new week.

Training Log Thursday April 30th, 2009
Kenneth, Dustin and I ran just over 5 miles this evening. I love to run but over the past 2 or 3 years my training has really suffered. I have been extremely busy working on a Masters Degree, raising Samuel from birth and this past year we added a 10 year old boy to the mix. Anyway, I have been eating a lot of fast food and junk food and that all stops tonight. No more candy will cross my lips at least until I have gotten back to a good training weight. At my best running time and the weight where I felt most healthy I weighed 173 lbs. Now to most people they felt that I was too skinny and looked sick but to me I felt the best I ever had and my running time was awesome for someone who started running after 30. I was consistently running 5K races in under 20 minutes and that had increased greatly.
No more. Tonight is the start of the new and improved Ronnie and Kenneth if he takes the challenge.
I weighed in at 212 lbs on my scales here at home. I did it several years ago and I will do it again.

Pound Downtown 5K Inaugural Run
Saturday was the first run put on by the New Mt. Airy Road Runners. It was a great 5K run in downtown Mt Airy, home of Andy Griffith, Mayberry. I am including the web site of this new club, check it out and join the group. They have a great new logo and you receive a nice dri fit shirt for joining. I am having a hard time finding the training time needed but it is still fun to get out with a bunch of runners and just have a good time. I have found in running that you are really competing against yourself.

5K Challenge
19th Annual Twin County Regional HealthCare Autumn Day 5K Run
Here is the challenge: I will donate $10.00 to the FUMC Youth Fund for every person that runs as a member of FUMC and beats me. Now that is not so hard to do. I have really fallen short on my training and right now I am running 3.1 miles in about 25 minutes. Most people can do better than that, even girls!
I will warn you that I am training again and I intend to drop several pounds by October and hopefully decrease my time by at least 2 minutes.
Are you up for the challenge? If so we can even plan some weekend training runs. Now some people will say, I am too old to run. I would have to tell you that my 66 year old mother is out there running a race with me every weekend. Now, are you still too old?
Look at it as a way to make some easy money for the youth fund, look at it as a way to beat me in a race. Either way you look at it, the worst you could do is have better health for being out there. At the most you could win some cash!
By the way, this is one of the few races where they have teams who run and the total times are added for the final time. We can make several teams, Cool!
We already know that the 5K King Family will be out for the challenge, who will join us?
