I know that everyone has been begging and clamoring for a new post on here.. I mean, really.. the last post was read 6 times.. and I am pretty sure that was all me.. maybe Heidi too, but that is ok. Every story begins somewhere, right?
A few things that have happened since my last post:
1 - I signed up for Spartan race in Aug with my daughters boyfriend. I am pretty scared. I have never done an obstacle course race, and I dont have the strongest upper body strength. I am scared for the obstacles and the burpees.
2 - We decided against running the SLC Half Marathon. This turned out to come with a twinge of guilt, as the day was perfect for running. On a selfish note, we really didn't like the medal they were handing out, and at this stage in our running careers (lol) its all about the hardware!
3 - We are all signed up and teams are ready for Ragnar Zion trail run. That is coming up on May 12-13 and should be epic. I cant wait for that. I am kinda scared for that too.. In total its about 14 miles, but trail running seems a lot harder than road running.. so I am kinda worried how I will do, but running through the night, sounds fun. It's like a giant camp out with some running mixed in.
4 - I have started following some pretty cool people on Instagram, and they have given me a lot of motivation. More on these folks later. I want to will get better at everything... swimming, running, and biking.
5 - I think the thing I am most frustrated about, and what has kind of kicked this post off, is that i have gained back 20 lbs from what I lost last year. I have really been lazy, and fighting some depression, and carb addiction really adds to the struggle. I am back on track though, and will do better. These next few weeks leading up to Ragnar will mostly be filled with running, but i am sure to get some time in the saddle again. Also will be doing some strength training for Spartan, and some yoga to help with flexibility.
Thanks for reading.. whoever you are. Let us know what you think.
