Tough Mudder training, GO!!
I pitched the idea of the Tough Mudder to a lot of my friends, and suprisingly, some of them are super interested! So as of right now, I'm the only one officially signed up, but we've started a training group. Because a lot of us are out of shape, it's not really a big deal that we're not all on the same fitness level.
I'm really excited to have company training for this challenge, because I can't do it alone.
Just this past weekend, I have been way more active. On Friday, I did my usual 30 minute cardio workout and small upper body weights. Then, my friends and I went and played football on the beach. Let me just say, it wasn't much of a game, it was more like stumbling around on glass shard-like sand. Ouch!
Saturday wasn't much of a workout, but we went to the block party downtown. Sunday, I walked almost a mile to my mom's house, and then met up with friends later to do our first training run.
We went to a local park and did (my first) trail run. The trail is a little over 3 miles long, and I really enjoyed it. Going at a slow pace to make sure we stuck together, it took us about 45 minutes. Which I thought was good for a first try. Then we went and worked on some monkey bars at a local school....bad idea, I don't know what genius designed those bars, but everything on that playground was textured and painful!!!
So overall, a good first try. We've set up a group page on Facebook so that we can all be on the same page about training and coordinate our schedules. It's looking like it will be 3 days a week for running. I will continue to do my upper body workouts at my gym as much as possible.
Today we go running on a different trail in the evening. I'm really anxious to get out there! I'm going to enjoy it now that I have a team and some motivation!!
