So, I am currently laid up w/ a sprained foot but figuring out ways around it. (Like-if you sprain your foot, you can still squat because your weight should be on your heels and so YES! All good.)
I am a contest junkee. If there is a giveaway on someone's page on FB, I am all over that thing! I LOVE WINNING! Problem, I don't win as much as I would like.
At some point, I entered a drawing for a free entry into a Spartan Race. If you don't know what a Spartan is, it is a obstacle course run like few others. Most obstacle runs are not timed, you can skip an obstacle if it is too hard, etc. Spartan is an exception! (and Tough Mudder)
It is timed. You must attempt every obstacle and if you can't do it, then you must do BURPEES....OMG, you know how much I HATE Burpees.
So, I am all signed up. My fall will be insane.
9-20-14 Women Rock 10k
9-27-14 SuperSpartan (8 miles and 20 obstacles....which is farther and HARDER than the 10k)
10-20-14 I TURN 42!
10-15-14 Monster Dash 10. OMG
This is setting in and I am litterally feeling panicky. I know I have plenty of time to train. I know my trainer and I will get there. I know my friends and family will support me. (HEY, WHO WANTS TO AT LEAST COME CHEER ME ON?)
So, Saturday I am starting a 30 day squat challenge. By then end of the 30 days, it calls for 250 squats in a single day. YIKES.
2014 is apparently the year of GO BIG or GO HOME!!
Read something not to long ago that Races, Running and the like are the new Mid-Life crisis. I am OK with that because if this insanity is my mid-life crisis it will set me up for an AMAZING 2nd half of my life! I am in better shape in my early 40's than I was in my early 30's.
OK, panic is a bit better! Thanks everyone for letting me vent!!
