IDEA 20090120 Competitive Exercise

Bored with competing with myself by running, lifting weights, not wanting to focus with yoga and swimming, I want to get involved in competitive exercise. Yes, this is a divorced term from sports, because I don't want to get involved in sporting culture, a de facto team, nor relationships with challenged people, rather, I want standard healthy competitive exercises where I don't have to pay a fee to play a game or sport, nor the standard searching for facilities. We live on the web, need to take care of our bodies, and have ample people in the cities we live in, so why can't we get together to compete, but not become best buddies or teammates?

Also, San Francisco is used here as a demonstration of this idea.

Death Runs
Hire people to chase after you with weapons where if you don't outrun the person, you get injured.

City Runs
A basic course outlined through a city for multiple people to take on.

Incentives
Rather than rely on payments, aka, American Sin Taxes (AST) to gyms, people should compete for some type of credit/incentive. While this could be money, it would be better if it were tangible goods or business deals.
