![]() ![]() It’s probably a good thing, for my property values and all, but I wonder if someone bought it, stripper poles and all, and is renovating it with plans to reopen in? I’ll keep my fingers crossed! What a crappy way to start my strip club run! Here’s my frowny face: Turns out that since I established my strip club goal, Godfather’s has closed. As I pass Godfather, I can’t help but notice that no lights are on, and there’s dumpsters full of construction materials in the parking lot. For kicks, I’ve thrown in select quotes from actual Yelp reviews to add a little flavor about what it’s like inside each establishment. Since I ended up running so late at night, I held off until Sunday to go back and take the photos. One of the things I promised to do when I set this goal was to photograph myself in front of every strip club. Maybe, just maybe, I can run past all those strip clubs!Īnd that’s how, at 9:15pm on a Saturday night, I found myself walking a few blocks to a park near my house, gearing up for the longest run I’ve ever done in my life. I should push myself RIGHT NOW to do something amazing. The thought of running 26.2 miles makes me want to curl up in a fetal position, but I’ve talked to both of them (a little bit) about their training, and a little light bulb went off in my head:īoth Collin and Stu are pushing themselves to run a marathon. As I made my way downstairs, I started thinking about two friends, Collin and Stu, both of whom are running marathons next weekend ( Collin’s running the Portland marathon, and Stu’s running the Chicago marathon). I was pretty sure my gym closed at 10, so I decided to just hit the little gym in my building’s lobby. I’m gonna watch Saturday Night Live, and it starts in only 6 hours!įinally, at 9pm, I shook myself free from the shackles of procrastination and laziness, and decided I had to work out. On the second day, I caught myself thinking things like: eh – there’s no time to work out. ![]() On the first day, I couldn’t even rally to get to the gym. ![]() I had spent two days doing practically nothing. I wouldn’t say that I’ve ever forgotten about my strip club goal, but it’s definitely been on the back burner lately. Occasionally, I considered turning the completion of my strip club goal into an event: Pick a day, invite friends to run with me, have someone take pictures and video, maybe even invite my blog readers to join in. Every few months, I would think, Man, I’m getting good! Maybe it’s time to tackle that strip club goal! But I never did. In this 9/27/10 post, I shared my revised goal: to run 6.4 miles, without stopping, past all six strip clubs.Īnd then… nothing. Then, just a few weeks later, I discovered two more strips clubs, so my goal grew to include them. Yep, my neighborhood is super classy! I decided to create a running route that would take me past all four, and my first goal ( articulated in this post from 9/15/10) was to complete that route without stopping. I had recently taken up running, and while exploring my neighborhood on foot, I discovered an abundance of strip clubs. Or would I?)īack in September 2010, when this blog was just a wee little blogling, I made my first ever fitness goal. Why don’t you let me slip something into your drink so you can find out for yourself? No, I would never do that. ![]() ( And if you think I’m a pervert, well, that’s true too. For all you Johnny-come-latelies, I’ll do a quick little recap. What are you thinking right now? Is it that I’ve gone off my rocker? Is it that I must be a sex-crazed pervert? Do you remember reading about my first strip club visit and think I must’ve developed a taste for them? Or perhaps you’re a long-time reader of this blog, and the mention of six strip clubs sounds awfully familiar for some reason…Īll you long-time readers are on to something. Little tiny fib aside, I’m so fucking proud of myself I could scream. Well, it’s almost true, because it actually took 1 hour and 6 minutes. This post is a long one, and it’s one solid year in the making. ![]()
