Why not? Everybody's invited! Should be a rip-roarin' good time, particularly Saturday night after the race (assuming any injuries are not incapacitating). Too bad they have a spectator's fee at the event, but somehow, we'll manage.

We're planning on the mudder in texas.....dear lord help us! LOL I do cheat a little before obstacle races....I take exedrine migraine (aspirin and caffeine) and creatine. Aspirin is a vasodialator, caffiene without a belly full of coffee and the resultant bladder issues at mile 6 and creatine allows the muscle depletion of ATP to be delayed. Every little bit helps!

Good tips, I'm making note of them! I need all the help I can get if I want to finish top 5% and qualify for the World's Toughest Mudder! 24 hours of pure insanity, in December, sounds like the greatest idea ever!
But no, actually I'd be very happy to finish top 1/3rd, and still pretty satisfied if in the top 50%.

Running and riding everywhere ...

I managed my 12 this morning in one set, still on my toes. I'm determined to make it to 20 now before I break them up.
I skipped the planks and crunches...I'm sure the PT will have some appropriate form of torture for me later today.

TOday was Zumba at the gym at 5:45am. Easy workout but very very sweaty I think I would do this every now and then, just for something different! It's fun and you are right, you sweat!

Wha??? YAHHHHHHH!!! Sweetness! I have a weight loss goal set for the year and am hoping to see real results as I document my monthly weight and "during" pictures. My beginning weight was 217. I was at 214 this morning after eating a post-midnight meal. My metabolism is kickin' it right now, so we'll see how well this goes. I was 183 for many years before I jumped all the way to 217 over the course of about the last 3 years (the time that I've had the pool hall, basically). My target weight is 175, but I am content with a healthier body so the weight loss is secondary.

Really though, you spend way too much time working and not enough time outside playing. You all need to figure out a way to balance work and play.

Its quite enjoyable to shake what yo mama gave ya. Just give yourself time with it, takes about 2 or 3 classes before you can really get the routines and understand the moves. Its like the advice I give for people interested in snowboarding...if you try, make sure you try it twice. The first time always sucks but the second time is ALWAYS significantly better. And I do mean significantly.
