Campground run.  Nice cool morning.  Kayaking after run does a great job on the arms.

I almost talked myself out of it but I'm so glad I didn't.  Two miles was just enough to get my blood flowing for work.

2 miles in the hood again this morning.  The race this weekend really snuck up on me.  Not ready for a personal record but more than ready to run with my buddy!

What a great race!  The rain held off and I was with "Zebra Trainer" and "Chubaka" (aka QP and spouse).

Highlights were;  yellow ribbons, QP pulling me up the hills, "Is that your breath or did you just "fa_ _?", hot tub, chocolate eclairs, cannon balls, lady in spandex with no panties, and the post-race beer.  

Low lights;  having to leave so soon.

It's Official...WE ARE WARRIORS!

I recommend the Warrior Dash for everyone!  It was a blast!

Fire pit jumping, mud pit sloshing, cargo net conquering, barb wire crawling bundle of fun.

We saw Batman, Tarzan, men in suit and ties, girls in bikinis with guys in bikinis!

I could go on and on and on!

Spinning class today.  Met another Warrior and we enjoyed sharing stories.  

I have a love / hate / love relationship with spinning class.  I love it before I start,  hate  it about midway, then love it again when it's over.

Ran 5 miles at the campground.  Rick (my hubby), rode along on the bike with gatorade and a dog fighting stick.  Didn't have any trouble with dogs but came across a huge snapping turtle (Rick couldn't resist poking him with his stick).  It was very humid but overcast (thank goodness).  Rick couldn't resist riding into a cornfield to find out what the buzzards were eating.  Turns out they weren't eating anything and now he is having a case of tick phobia since he went in the field.  I laughed as the buzzards flew off as he rode toward them in the field.  I love how weird we are.  Keeps life interesting.
