Gee wouldn't this make you just hate your team.
Took up running challenge in worst possible season

Rugby league's most masochistic fan can finally put his feet up after enduring the season from hell.
Dan Nilsson, aged 29, is a Newcastle firefighter and
Knights tragic who decided at the start of the year to support the team in his own bizarre way.
Nilsson vowed to run a kilometre for every point the Knights lost by throughout each week of the season - little realising the trouble he was putting himself in.
"I thought we would have a half decent year and I'd have plenty of weeks when I didn't have to run when we had a win," Nilsson told Wide World of Sports.
"This last week is going to be especially tough -
the Eels beat us 66-10 so between now and the weekend I have to churn out 56 kilometres.
"After that I'll take a bit of a break - like the players, I am exhausted after a long year."On the positive side, I'm the fittest I've been since I played footy a few years back.
"And I run a sports comedy page on Instagram so we get plenty of laughs out of it.
"I also raised a bit of money for charity along the way so I feel good about that.
"But as a Knights fan, I feel really sad - it's probably our worst season ever and I'm not sure I can go through all this again next year."
