What A Beautiful Day!!

I went to the gym this morning for arms and shoulders. And can I just mention that I am freaking out about the Spartan Sprint that's in 4 weeks? I've been watching videos on YouTube and they are not helping. The most troubling part is that the Spartan races do not give you a list of obstacles to expect (yes I get why they don't but it still stresses me!). What I have picked up on is that if you cannot complete an obstacle you have to do 10 squat thrusts from hell burpees. So I've added them to my workouts now (And just FYI, burpees, mountain climbers and push ups are my least favorite exercises!).


Anyways....  A little later Riley and I headed out for a nice and slow 2 mile walk.
He did really well and now he's pooped. Either laying around or walking around with his tongue hanging out all over the place!

It is so nice out today I hate to be in at all. I laid out on our deck for awhile and read but it's just a LITTLE to chilly for me to be outside and not be moving around. I am SO ready for spring to be here! (Not that I'm complaining, this winter has been very mild!).

  1. So jealous of your beautiful day! I am so tired of winter even though compared to last year it has been mild, I am just tired of cold weather and want to wear my running skirts and tanks and not be cold for the first mile of every run, of course that means getting hot, but I will complain about that when it gets here :)

  2. You are going to do great!! I can't wait to hear about it :)

    And I agree, I don't like burpees very much either.

  4. Oh my gosh, I am so freaking out about the Spartan Race too...but this will make you feel better. I met a woman this past weekend at my race that did a Warrior Dash last year and she said she trained (like strength training) for it and then when she actually got the race, she said she didn't think she really needed to train that much. So hopefully it won't be as brutal as we are thinking....or not lol

  8. I'm ready for spring too but I'm also a little freaked out about how summer is gonna end up!? Could it be a scorcher??

    My dog use to go out on me with runs, now he just watched me run down the driveway. I think he learned that running 4 miles with me isnt much fun. :)

    1. i'm worried about summer too!!! i think it's gonna be a hot one!

      i haven't tried to run more than a mile or two with riley. it's hard enough for me to run let alone have him pulling me to the side to sniff and poop!
