Training Day 1

It's always important to start with a benchmark so you can measure progress.  This evening I started my training after work with a couple of benchmark workouts. 

My results follow:
Current Weight 180 pounds
2.4 Mile Run/Walk - Total time 32:12, average pace 13:09, fastest mile 12:13
1-minute timed workouts:
 situps - 15
 high knees - 90
 jumping jacks - 62
 pushups - 17
How long to hold full plank - 33 seconds
How long to hold modified plank - 50 seconds (on knees)
arm hang - 7 seconds
How much weight - 10 rep bicep curl - 15 pounds

I also started working my way towards 100 burpees by May 31.  Today I started with 10 burpees (2 sets of 5) that you can check out in the video below.

This is totally my favorite running shirt - it 100% expresses exactly how I feel about running :)

Reflecting and Goal Setting

Now that I have had time to fully recover from my race I have become a lazy lady.   We went immediately from the race into vacation mode then the day after we got home from vacation we had visitors from out of town.  I'm still recovering from having company and feel like my house is a disaster (really it isn't any worse than a normal Thursday but we do have more laundry that needs done than normal) but I also know that I have to get my butt back into gear. This weekend hubby and I will getting back into the grove.   Hubby is doing the West Virginia Beast in 3(?) weeks and I need to set some goals for myself.  I'm probably not going to do another Sprint this season but I do fully embrace the fact that it was way too hot during my sprint for me to determine if I enjoyed it or not, especially since despite the heat I hated it significantly less than running a 5k. So back to reality we go.   Today I started cleaning up the house and this weekend we will get caug...

OMG 9 days!!

I'm moderately freaking out.   I don't feel like I'm ready but I have faith that I will be able to finish and not die.   Last weekend I over did it and ended up with a migraine from the heat/dehydration so I've been taking it a little easier this week.   I've still been doing my burpees and am going to continue my training schedule next week but more importantly I have plans to up my hydration.  I'm going to add 1 extra Advocare Rehydrate to my day starting Sunday (or more if I feel like it) and I'm going to up my general H20 intake, wether with rehydrate or just straight water by 20-40 ounces through Wednesday and doubling my normal intake on Thursday and Friday. I'm SOOOOOOO excited :) Wish me luck.

Not at all ready

I am so not ready for Saturday.   They posted the map and I am counting on burpees for the monkey bars, multi rig, and twister, since I can't do monkey bars to save my life.   I also realized last night I have never even attempted a rope climb, so there is that.   Other than those 4 I believe I will be able to muscle my way/get help to complete the other 18. Wish me luck! :)
