My New Motivation - Mudd

Mar 03, 2015

So.... I think I might be crazy... or at least some people think I am. 

So here in New Brunswick(well actually its all over Canada)  there is this obstetrical course race called Mudd Sweat and Tears the course ranges from 6-12 Km. The race day is August 15th, of this year 164 days away! 

I decided to start training for it this week. I need something to motivate me to workout. So far its working. 45 Minutes on the Elliptical daily! Instead of the 15 minutes of torture here and there I was getting. I'm really kind of enjoying it now. My husband is also training for it, so my motivation is kicking his butt LOL That might be wrong but he talks a lot of smack. 

Here's the down fall I will have 6 weeks during these 164 days that I cant work out and train for this. That's approximately 45 days of no training. Someone suggested that after 3 weeks or so I would try doing 5 minutes on the elliptical twice a day, but others say that's too much.  Most say listen to your body. I'm a little worried that it might be too much so soon after surgery.... March 19th to August 15th, that's 5 Months surely it should be fine right? everything should be healed? 

Here is a link to the event, Some of my friends did it last year and said it was amazing! They are all training again this year. http://muddsweatandtears.com/
