rage2's Charity Challenge 2013 - 5km run - Over $16,519 raised!

[rage2]

edit - My boss has generously agreed to match all donations up to $5000 max! Let's git 'er done!

edit2 - My boss doesn't qualify for dinner.

As you all know, I've been doing yearly fundraiser challenges. Some of the more memorable ones over the years are my cul-de-sac, car free for a week, and of course shave a lid for a kid (see below).

This year, my gf has volunteered me to run 5km in support of the Calgary Food Bank. For those that know me, I don't run. I'm a couch potato, and I'm expected to die for this challenge. Or at a minimum, puke my guts out. If I do puke, hopefully the cameraman will be close by to catch it all for your viewing pleasure lol.

Please donate if you can to my cause. My donation page can be viewed here:

http://calgaryfoodbank.akaraisin.com/amblewithangus2013/rage2

As per last year, I'll take the top donator + their SO out for dinner at Ruth's Chris. All donations will also get their user ratings upped. And a bonus, my first ever challenge that raise a little over $1k. For the record, my top charity challenge raised nearly $20k. :thumbsup:

You sir have just dug your own grave for the 13th hahhahahah

[rage2]

I don't think I've been taking prep seriously at all. Just finished watching the game on the couch and ate like 4 coffee crisps. :rofl:

Time for some XB1 action! hahaha

[Unknown303]

I'll probably just wait for you at the finish line....

[rage2]

Make sure you have video recording ready.

[SQ2]

Hi all, rage2's girlfriend here. You can thank me for putting him up to yet another fun challenge. If any of you would like to join in the fun on December 13th, send me a pm and I'll give you the password to join our team. If there's a few who want to join us, I'll change the team name to 'Time and Beyond'.

Donated! Go Rage2 hope you puke your guts out.

[JRSC00LUDE]

Rage, if you live through what happens to you then maybe next summer I can get you a coveted private invite to my friends annual "12x12".

It's a 12km endurance run with the stipulation that you must drink one full beer each kilometer. You have to start with a full dozen and return with an empty one, you're not allowed to discard them.

I'll bet there would be significant investment to charity around here for people to see THAT happen! hahaha

[G]

Will there be a tax receipt like prior years?

[cam_wmh]

Rage

Consider wearing a GoPro for the run, for our viewing pleasure. :angel:

Had some friends wanting to try this last summer just for fun (only 3km/3 beer)…. I’m sure a charity event could be quite epic. Although with 12 km’s/12 beers people might legit end up dead hahah.

[rage2]

Thanks everyone for their donations so far. Nearly $1k overnight, not too shabby! As for tax receipt you should receive it in your email. If not, let me know, I'll help you track it down.

So, I'm going to be doing minimal prep. Today, my prep consists of wearing my track pants to the office. I need to get comfortable wearing these if I want to run 5k in them. :rofl:

http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc475/rage2amg/3DF882F0-7231-451C-A039-9E4B490B8DBF_zpskc2v8lpy.jpg

[Axe]

Donated! - Good luck - whatever happened to all the cycling you used to do?...That would have surely helped with this :)

[rage2]

Wow Axel, never knew you were a beyond regular! Thanks for the donation. As for the cycling, I still ride, not as hardcore as I used to be, down to maybe 2-3x a year. :rofl:

I'm just hoping someone can film me at the end, where I'm going to have a smoke and puke.

Do not do this. Socks are your friend.

Any time guestimates? My non-runner wife is about 45 mins with 2 kids in a stroller so you better be at least 35 or on a stretcher.

[rage2]

I love how everyone's message to me is to go puke. lol

Thanks for your donations, $1500 so far!

Yes. The donation site is set up through the food bank, so you should receive an emailed tax receipt right away. If for some reason you don't, let me know and I'll track it down for you.

That said, if anybody wants to donate to somebody who's ACTUALLY training for this and has never run 1km, let alone 5km, in their life, go here:

[Unknown303]

Boobs

[max_boost]

Do you actually have to run it or can you walk it. There should be a time frame, that would make it more exciting haha

What's an impressive 5km for a noob? If raj can beat it I will donate after lol :rofl:

[CompletelyNumb]

You should be able to speed walk that in an hour. Impressive for Rage would be under half an hour :D

[bourge73]

I am getting thoughts of a full out sprint
Like the Kenyans, surely that will make you
Puke the fastest lol. Great training btw hahahahaaha

[Unknown303]

For a noob I'd say 40 minutes.

[msommers]

We should find Beyond's best runner and if they do 10km before Shelton completes 5km there should be an added penalty/donation. Or 15km and he matches the total ;)

[Mibz]

Jeez with how Shelton's training I could almost conquer 10km I think... Maybe :barf:

You guys make this run sound like going from 0 -> Iron Man :rofl:

All I know is 5k is a pretty easy run.

[flipstah]

I thought you were just trolling but I saw the training first-hand last night so I HAD to donate. :)

[Disoblige]

Mibz, I donated to you solely because of this:


I'm participating because I like taking whatever opportunity I can to prove that I'm better than Shelton at some things.

Don't fuck this up.

Not that it would happen, but it'll be hilarious for whatever reason I beat him. Kinda like losing to the Flames haha.

[theken]

i ran a 10k with 0 training at 285lbs of pure fat in a little over an hour, I would like to see less than 35 minutes, lol. I will donate later.

[Mitsu3000gt]

Anything under 40:00 is an excellent 10K time for the "average" Joe. 35:00 would be outstanding.

Average top Olympic times are around 27:10 for men and 30:30 for women if you happen to be born a Kenyan.

:drama: Pretty sure he was saying he would like to see under 35:00 for the 5k. :rofl:

Saw the winner of the last tri I did puke at the finish. Isn't a good race unless you :barf:

Under 40 min for a 10k would be outstanding for a non-runner. I would say that it would be next to impossible for most without a year or two of training.

[rage2]

Took 2 rest days, back on the training program! Day 5, ran laps at the nurburgring. My legs are tired!

Yah my two friends ran a big 10K charity thing earlier this year, they ran times of 36:xx each, which was top 5 in the age category IIRC.

While the one guy was training he tried to average 37:30 10K and he's in pretty damn good shape... far from an "average" runner

Can't help but give you some serious props for this.

So who's providing camerawork?

[Unknown303]

I can pack a GoPro for the finish.

Can you pack a beer too? I don't want it weighing me down but I wanna have a beer at the end.
