Last week was another fairly rough week. Lila was still sick. And then I got a cold and a migraine. When I see my Mom now I get a migraine- guaranteed. It's like clock work. She came up for Rowan's dance recital and the very next day that sucker hit and didn't leave for a couple days.
Still did okay in terms of getting in some exercise. I need to step up my training though. On Saturday I focused on hills and I know that is what I need to do to be able to even think about completing the race. All I want to do is finish. I don't care if I throw up or get filthy. I just want to do this. I keep trying to talk myself out of doing it at all but the stronger part of me insists it is still possible.
Monday - workout in the park. Rowan kept trying to get me to run faster. It was really motivating
Tuesday - walked 35 minutes (no running)
I have to figure out how to get some exercise in tomorrow. Friday and Saturday seem easier.

Links to helpful websites
Another quick update this week and a few happy links.
This week and last week have been good. I am working out well and I am starting to feel better about maybe not throwing up during the Mud Run. Instead of timing exactly how long each running interval is, I have been running as fast as I can for the length of one song. Some songs are short, others are the damn extended version. It is a cool way to do intervals cause you gotta push the whole time.
Monday I trained with some friends who did it last year and they reassured me that I can totally do the race. One member of their team walked almost the whole thing and they still finished in under two hours. I can do this. I think. I hope.
There are a few websites that have helped me.
1) I like Women's Health Magazine's website. They have great workouts on there and suggested playlists http://www.womenshealthmag.com/
2) Do you listen to Pandora radio? I love it. You start by telling it a song or artist that you really like and it builds a whole radio station based on that suggestion.
2) My husband has been doing the cross fit workouts and I found their description of the mud run http://www.crossfitsocal.com/crossfit_socal/2007/06/tips_for_the_mu.html I did say I could do this earlier right?
OH GOOD LORD. Don't wish me good luck. Pray for me. Everyone. There are fire hoses involved.
