Let's Get MUDDY

So it's a little after but I haven't had time to post yet!

On July 18th my friends Barb and Elizabeth decided to do a mud run with me. Yes a mud run crazy!!

A mud run basically is a 5k run in mud. There are also some obstacles like walls to climb over and pits of mud and a lagoon you wade through some crawling and some tubes you have to climb through. It was really run and really muddy!

Liz and I finished the run with a time of 46.17 which is pretty good! We would have gotten a better time but we had to wait for people in order to go over some of the walls. Liz doesn't run as much as I do so we did more walking than I would have liked to do but it's all good! At least I didn't push myself to much!



Today was cardio day at boot camp. The last cardio day that I went to (a few months ago) I was able to run about 2 miles. Today I finished 3.25 miles! AWESOME! I was so excited to be able to run that much farther. Of course I can't run that strait but I am working my way there.

Marta wants to run a 5k before her birthday on 9/9/09 so my goal is to be able to run a 5k by then with her.

Back on My Feet

I am so excited everyday last week except Sunday I was able to go out and "run." It's more like slowly jogging but it feels so good to be able to do something.

Since it is so hot lately I have been going over to Huntington central park. It's really beautiful and there is shade on most of the paths. I brought Daytona (my dog) all of the days except Friday. She is still not able to run as much as I would like to so I end up dragging her after about 1/3 mile. I am just going to keep taking her. She needs to learn to run more.

On Saturday I got dressed and put shoes on. Right as I was getting the dog ready to go my parents arrived home from their bike ride. With a little coaxing I was able to get them out and jogging with me. It was amazing how much more Daytona ran with everyone there with me.

I do have to say running is not as bad as it was my the first week. Slowly my body is getting use to it and I am starting to enjoy it. I know scary thought but it's true. Although by the end i pushing myself to finish the last little bit and can barely breath when I finish.

My leg for the moment as long as I am wearing my hamstring wrap is feeling great!
