A dear friend of mine is a runner, a runner who loves to run and enjoys it too. Puzzling. I can't say that I hate many things in life, but running is assuredly at the top of the list. Me? I'm more of a team sports kind of girl. I get motivated to train bc the team depends on me taking care of my contribution on game day and I want to contribute much. Football? Softball? Now you're speaking my language.
So it makes sense when I decline my dear friend's invites to run a race, but an obstacle course? A short one thats around 3-5 miles but mostly focuses on fire-related obstacles? Scared out of my pants about the running aspect but decided that this would be great motivation to establish some form of an exercise regimen and undo bad habits of a sedentary lifestyle.
I have officially signed up for the hero rush on may 4, set up a mini workout area in the basement, and will slowly build up my endurance and training. Just need to stop by the store some bags of sand for the kicking bag and stay accountable... eek!
As for the running that I vehemently hate? (Yes, it's that intense)... i'll need to reconcile with it and deal. I think that i'll ease into it starting with some jump rope and light jogging around the neighborhood.
This sounds pretty damn awesome! I would be scared witless to participate in something like this. I have bad experiences with obstacle courses, but dang... I can't wait to see you run it! Wishing you the best of luck!
ReplyDeleteFYI; I believe that there are a couple of unused punching bags/sandbags at my house for you to grab, if interested.
You got this!
