The struggle is real

it is 4:00 am and I am wide awake.  I have no clue why I’m awake but I’ve laid in bed for the better part of 30 minutes before I even picked up my phone trying to fall back asleep.
This is just one reason Spartan training has been difficult for me.  I’m sticking with it and continuing to try but when you don’t get enough sleep it’s hard to get out of bed to train in the morning.
My alarm goes off in an hour and a half.  Maybe I’ll be able to get some more sleep tonight so I can kick tail this morning.
What do you do when you’re awake in the middle of the night?

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! :)
