Another morning run with Mr. runmehappy.  My younger bro tagged along for 5 miles. I always bug him about taking running more seriously, he'd put me to shame if he started training regularly. He's 5'11", 140 pounds and ran an 18 minute 5k last year with me off of virtually no training.  I'm going to keep pestering him.

ACorn,

Hi. Here is a thought. Offer him 200 dollars if he breaks 17:00 for the 5K distance. The cost of a couple pair of running shoes. But he would probably have to run a little more than he is to accomplish that. And then he may get hooked! Or...race him in a 5K and tell him you'll give him 200 dollars if he gets close to beating you...like 30 seconds.
