OK, I may be crazy, but I signed up to do the dirty dash with my kids in Utah on June 2nd (I will be out of town for the one in this area). It sounded like great fun, however I just watched a YouTube video with highlights from one of the races and I am questioning my sanity. Why would I want to go run a 10K through mud and over obstacles? Hopefully the answer is because I can and it looks like fun.
I got really out of my running routine while I was sick and getting back in to it has proved to be challenging. I decided I would go back to the roots and start with the couch to 5K program, thankfully I discovered that I am not starting at the beginning of the program, because otherwise I would be no where near ready to run a 10K in June. I also added Richard Simmons "Sweating to the Oldies" as my crosstraining on my off days. Yeah, that's right, Richard Simmons, it is embarassing to admit it, but I just love exercising to those videos. I guess I figure I can't do any worse or look any more ridiculous than some of the people on the videos, they are beyond oldies now and the clothings shows it. I was actually able to get 7 different ones for 25 dollars through amazon with free shipping. Hmmm what does that say???
Oh well, I don't care what people think. I need a boost to get back on track. My friend Heather has been encouraging me to work out with her, that helps. I am open if anyone wants to work out with me, however just know, that I am slow....really...r e a l l y slow, but I get there. So any friends that are not worried about me crimping their style or holding them back and want to work out let me know, If I am not working I will be there. PS... I am not really reliable in the early morning hours, just saying
