The Race: Thanksgiving Day 2012, 9:00am (subject to change), homemade 5K run/walk at a local park
The Stakes: Each participant will pay a one time fee of $5. The fees will collectively become the prize for the winner. All participants will predict their race day time and the hobbler who finishes closest to their prediction (faster or slower) will win the cash prize.
The Hobblers:
I'm-Almost-Back-Down-To-My-High-School-Weight Poppa Speegs- He is the poster child for weight loss at his church. An early morning exerciser, will he win it all?
I'll-Clog-Your-Face-Off Momma Speegle- Some call her the tapping titan, others tell her to do a basic. Blowing in like a west Texas tumbleweed, will she take out all the competition?
You'll-Hardly-Recognize-Me Momma Cave- She is a treadmill stompin', clothing size shreddin' maniac. Recently free of 59 pounds and counting, will she leave her competition in the dust?
Stain-A-Deck-In-A-Day Daddio Cave- He trains in Rwanda and chases Debbie around the house with his two trusty hounds. Will he make quick work of the other hobblers?
I'm-A-Goober Goober- The youngest of the competitors with a lung capacity to put Pavarottii to shame. Will he bellow his victory cry at the finish line?
I'm-A-Ninja-Crossfit-Assassin Hubs- He makes his own weights in the garage so his muscles can get even bigger. Will the man of the house lead the way amongst the hobblers?
Further Instructions: Hobblers, leave a comment with your projected race day time.
Readers: PLACE YOUR BETS! Leave a comment and pick your favorite hobbler. If your hobbler wins you will receive an autographed commemorative Great Gobble Hobble photo.
Let the games begin!

I would like to cast the first vote and say that this gobble hobble is going to the man of the house...the one...the only....the ninja crossfit assassin....sir TIMOTHY CAAAVVVVEEEE!!!!! (crowd goes wild)
ReplyDelete***can't wait to get my signed photo. We can frame it an put it up in the nursery for inspiration!
I want to enter too, but too far away. Ron's in Austin right now, but coming home before the race occurs. And if I pick a favorite, I'm bound to upset a Cave or two or three. I'll pick Debbie - I'm impressed with the weight loss. Go Debbie!
ReplyDeleteI love this!! I think Tim's mom will win too :)
ReplyDeleteyou spelled Pavarotti wrong. +1 for me. I will be victorious. I could also use the money. AND more people need to pick me so I can practice my autographing skills for the future.
ReplyDelete5k run *crosses fingers* hopefully the whole time... 28:58
ReplyDeleteGoober, quit earning your name and predict your time. You can't just vote for yourself!
ReplyDeleteAs for my prediction, I will finish the race at 29:15.
All you other hobblers are going down!
Daddio Cave should be able to finish in an hour that would be 60 minutes for all you precise folks.
ReplyDeleteMomma Cave is predicting a walk of 50 minutes.
ReplyDeletePoppa Speegs enters his time as 1:08:37. He also notes that he is the oldest and would like to remind everyone of the tortoise and the hare.
ReplyDeleteMomma Speegle is going for 46:56. She's ready to rumble!
I'm choosing Sarah to win! Her time will be close to 28:12.
ReplyDeleteFIFTEEN MINUTES.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte and Emily both shouted, "Uncle Tim will win!" in unison. Weird.
ReplyDeleteI'm going for Clog Your Face Off Mama Speegle!!
