My brothers and I have decided to do a Tough Mudder event in GA in Feb 2012. For those who don't know that is 11 miles of running, jumping, sliding, swimming, intense mental trial. It should be fun. There is no time limit but a matter of finishing or not. So here I am, 6 months away and getting ready to start really preparing for this event. I have always been a fairly athletic person and always enjoyed competition so I have been wanting to do something that drives me and my younger brother said he was looking at a Tough Mudder event and wanted to know if my older brother and me wanted to join him. So we all three signed up and will be doing this event together.
So here is my dilemma, i have twin girls that require a fair amount of time and I have a full-time job so finding the time to train is the issue. I have decided to set up a training schedule so that I have a plan in front of me instead of winging it.
So here is where I am currently:
I cannot run for very long and am in poor cardio condition. I am in decent physical shape as I did P90X about 1.5 months ago and it helped trim about 4 inches and nearly 15 pounds off since the girls were born. I am currently nursing a sore knee after playing basketball for the first time in over 6 months so that was a little rough but i will survive. So basically I have a long way to go but in 6 months that is possible to get back into shape.
I think I can, I think I can. Starting next week I will post progress updates and maybe pictures along the way. Stay tuned...
