The Krispy Kreme Challenge
Sugar Rush
Run two miles. Eat 12 doughnuts. Run two miles. Sounds simple enough.

I could ball up the last three doughnuts and toss them under a car. Or into the bushes. One was already mashed up in my sweaty fist. I was ready to hurl it from that crowded, sugar-stinking, trash-heaped parking lot when I noticed a young spectator standing beside his mother. He frowned at me. I ate the doughnut. Then another. Bile began to rise. I stuffed the 12th into my mouth, dropped the doughnut box onto the giant pile of empties, and ran off with my doughy tumor.
The eating portion of the four-mile Krispy Kreme Challenge had taken me just over 13 stomach-stretching minutes.
Proving that yes, in fact, you can have too much of a good thing.
