The 3rd Annual John Fenn Burpee Mile

Of all the strange looks we get when we venture outside our Box, the Burpee Mile might be the one workout that gets the most. That's ok, we're used to them. At least there were no near wrecks this year....

Great job everyone, however far you went. With quarter mile splits of anywhere from 21:00 to 30:00 minutes, this workout demands a level of commitment most do not have. The mile finish times ranged from 88:50 to 139:46, and the total number of Burpees ranged from 365 to 475. That's a lot of work.

"Why do you do this?" is the most common question. We choose to do hard things primarily to prove to ourselves that they can be done. It's our rebellion against low expectation, and our celebration of ability.

"Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few."
 -Jesus Christ

We do today what others choose not to so that we can do tomorrow what others can't. Good job everybody.
