It wasn't more than 2 minutes and Payton was downstairs in running attire.
She was absolutely positive that this was going to be a slam dunk. Gregg thought it'd be eleven minutes, I was betting on twelve. This is from before she started running. I took a couple videos and now looking back, I wish I would have gotten the "ready, set, go" because it was priceless. She had to run down to the school and back to our street sign twice.
She did run faster than we had anticipated, I think her final time was 9 minutes, 51 seconds. The street to the school is uphill and man, it was hot and humid, so I think she did pretty good.
She was not happy about the time. But she was back in good spirits a few minutes later. She told Gregg that by morning she'll be the "most athletic person" he knows of, "besides Michael Phelps." When Gregg asked how that was going to happen, she said, "A few of the people will have to be killed."
What a funny girl. I proud of her for trying. I wonder if she'll make this bet again at a later date?
I was cheering for her the entire way. Sure was hoping for a picture at the end of Gregg handing her a fifty dollar bill!!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I was hoping that she's surprise us too. That would have made a good final picture, Mandy. She was a good sport though.
