"I got this mass email from my gym yesterday: HAPPY 7 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO GREENWICH VILLAGE EQUINOX! COME CELEBRATE WITH US ON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21. 6:30PM-7:30PM, GREENWICH VILLAGE EXTREME CARDIO CHALLENGE Join Lacey Stone for 45-minutes of studio cycling followed by a run through the neighborhood. First 7 finishers will receive a prize. I&amp;amp;#8217;ve secured a bike for the 6:30pm Spin class tonight, and that&amp;amp;#8217;s nothing new, but what I hadn&amp;amp;#8217;t considered is the &amp;amp;#8220;cardio challenge&amp;amp;#8221;&amp;amp;#8212;the run through the neighborhood after the class. I&amp;amp;#8217;m not kidding myself: I don&amp;amp;#8217;t think my 10-minute, 30-second miles are going to qualify for any prize. But I&amp;amp;#8217;m having a moment (maybe it&amp;amp;#8217;s a crazy moment!) of thinking, Who cares?! It might be fun to run the race just to do it&amp;amp;#8212;for me!&amp;amp;#8212;even if I finish last! Should I? What do I have to risk? A little pride? You know what they say: Swallow your pride occasionally, it&amp;#x27;s non-fattening! What would you do? (HONESTLY!)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
