Karen--great job! What was your pace? What is your goal pace? Never apologize for talking about yourself. It what we DO here.
LISA! Hi.
LISA! Hi.
Oh, Meg that is so tough. I so feel for you. It's so hard when you get injured and have to sit out your sanity saving exercise! How is work, family, the man?
Also, I realize I am a white girl, but I have always felt with the behind, passion for music and general coolness, I harbored an inner soul sister. Yeah, not so much. She was napping, apparently. Also, note to others - you cannot wear running shoes to a dance based class. I ended up taking my sneakers off and going barefoot, like the teacher. I think I am going to try my Sketchers this week, and order some Zumba shoes online.
I'm going to try to find some races to do this spring/summer including maybe a half or two to keep my motivation and remind me this is temporary. (You'd think having the Tough Mudder in May would be enough motivation right now but I'm actually rather scared of this race now that I have a "weak" ankle.)
I'm in a wonderful head space around weight. Strangely wonderful. And I don't mean an "I can do it" kind of feeling. I mean a peaceful feeling which is much more valuable. Let's all pray.
Love to all.
Liz - forgot to say congratulations on the weigh in. So you're Sunday and Nancy is Friday? Thursday? I'm tired. I'm sure it's clear Nancy. I'm Friday on BL.
Meg we have the warrior dash here in June, I am scared of it to, I have not registered but I want to.
So glad you are recovering Meg! You'll be back to your old self before you know it! Tough Mudder. What's the distance on that? I'm doing a Warrior Dash in June - 5K with 12 (I think) obstacles. I'm thinking the Tough Mudder is longer, yes?
It's 10 miles on a ski slope with 30 obstacles. I'm not so worried about the miles... or the amount of obstacles. They estimate it takes most people 3 hours. My concern is the cold... Vermont in early May, ice and cold water, being wet for 3 hours in low temps just sounds unpleasant. Oh and... there's no bling. Just a bright orange headband and bragging rights. If you go here and click view the full map you can roll over to see what the obstacles are, they are some that are similar to the Warrior Dash.
Jo- I'm not sure how the Warrior Dash is but Tough Mudder they encourage people to help each other thru the course. They want you to finish. You've run a half... you can push thru a race with obstacles! I've also read that at a lot of these races there are so many people that its a more relaxed pace. Definitely go for it.
