Krispy Kreme Challenge: Michael’s Video

It has been said that Michael and I like to eat. And those who know Michael, both well and even not-so-well, know that he has a passion for food, and an iron stomach to take it, a talent and a curse. Which is why when Michael asked that I accompany him on the food challenge of his life, the Krispy Kreme Challenge, I was not surprised. The challenge goes like this: fly down to Raleigh, North Carolina, show up on NC State’s campus early in the morning (perhaps after a night of beer, and maybe some fried pickles and peppers), run about two and a quarter somewhat hilly miles, eat a DOZEN Krispy Kreme donuts, and then run the two and a quarter miles back….mostly uphill. I committed as a casual runner, thus better equipped to support Michael, document the feat, and, as a bonus, hopefully be more adept to quickly dodge what surely would be an all-out puke-fest.
