My goal and plan of action

I have never really been a runner. I have been athletic, but running has never really been my thing. My life is crazy now and I find that running is one of the easiest ways to get a good workout done in a minimal amount of time. I want a fitness challenge to work towards and I have decided to do the Camp Pendleton Mud Run this June. This is a 10k race with obstacles.

Karissa and Christy really encouraged me to it. Thom, Jay, Mara and a friend of Karissa's make up our 5 person team. They are all in much better shape then me and I worry about being the weak link. I have less than 6 months to get this body into fighting shape.

My plan of action is to start running three days a week and follow the cool running plan. I will also train with my other team members about once every two weeks. I will workout 2 additional days a week to mix it up.

  1. I am inspired by your motivation:)I am happy for you and your ability to train for a 10k (w/obstacles, no less) amongst the chaos of working full-time and having two young kiddos. Best of luck with the training. Oh and by the way, when I saw you at Serena's you were looking Fabulous!I am just getting serious about watching what I eat and walking 4 days a week, but maybe I'll manage to give running a try .... maybe .
