How I did it
It made me
YOW that's HOT! 
How I did it: Bought one. Sliced it in half. Sucked on an ice cube. Popped it in my mouth. Filmed the whole time. Lots of milk, ice cubes, and Tums afterwards. A fraternity brother of mine had done it before and said it was an out-of-body experience... that it was. Read how I did it…
It made me
Intuitive 
How I did it: Someone drunkenly taught it to me one night and I was able to retain the knowledge over to the next day when my friend and I played 10 games straight. I'm still working on nailing the strategy, but I love it. Good game, glad I FINALLY know how to play. Read how I did it…
It made me
feel accomplished
How I did it: planned ahead, signed up for the chicago half early to get the discount, kept to a 9-week training schedule i found online, and just did it. man was it rainy, but so worth it. Read how I did it…

with a time of 23:27… not bad for my first race ever. good training for the chicago half-marathon this september.
smaller 5k, but neat course. called “run through the pines”, and although you’re on uneven dirt trails, grass, etc the whole time, the course was beautifully unique
