TIME TO “MAN UP”…
9 Jul
In less than two weeks, I’ll be doing a 5K Spartan Race, which is basically a hard core obstacle course with barbed wire, ice, water, fire and mud. And based on the videos I’ve watched, a lot of it!
I’ve been into sports since I was very young and fitness has always been a big part of my life. I enjoy a challenge, want to be pushed and love that achy feeling after a good workout. However, I’m dreading this Spartan Race, because I’m a bit of a girl when it comes to things like getting soaked…I signed up without doing any research on the race, and I actually doubt I had joined had I seen the videos…
It’s too late to complain about it now, so all I can do is carry on training. I usually always run on the road, but have gone out on the fields with my lovely running buddy Sarah twice now. Last night we were navigating through huge piles of cow poo, mud thistles and nettles in one of the local fields. We had to take slight detours, as some of the bridges we had crossed on the previous run were either completely under water or surrounded by it. I should have used it as training for the Spartan but chickened out!
Wow, hardcore! Looks like quite good fun though :0) x
Wanna do it with me? Hahaha!!x
Yeah, I don’t think so. Maybe the next one, you never know! I’m looking forward to tonight, but am going to be embarrasingly bad!x
You will be fine. And honestly, your fitness lever will improve so quick, you’ll be amazed. You’ll meet Sarah Austin Trafford too as she is coming!x
Ah it’ll be nice to meet her! See you at 7.20 x
Yes, get to mine for that – Sarah will pick us up just before the class starts!x
Nathan’s got a bad back, anyone want his Spartan place ?
Philip Mossop said he would do it! But in that case we need to get someone to look after the kids!
Sarah’s going down with your isn’t she? As I’ve got the kids if I can get an extra pair of hands, i.e. one of the nans. We could have everyone here and then you guys get back could have a simple dinner or something. I’ll have to check with Sarah obviously.
That sounds great Lee! Although I think you and Phil should get together with the kids and Sarah should take Nathan’s spot at the race. Come on Sarah Austin Trafford!! DO IT!x
Eb might do it !
Errrrrm…it’s still a no. Sorry!! X
You should do it. It will be fun – and by fun I mean horrendous!
