Call Me Crazy...

Call me crazy...but I signed up for the Warrior Dash for May 15th. If you don't know what the warrior dash is, check out the website..http://www.warriordash.com/register2011_georgia.php. I cannot believe that Colin talked me into this. It is 3.2 miles with 11 obstacles. Some of those obstacles include running through tires, repelling down a ravine, and jumping over fire...yes, you read it correctly...jumping over fire.

We are running this with three other friends, Chris, Ashley and Brian. They all did a mud run together and are runners and in awesome shape. Colin and I need to get our butts in shape so we started running. Before signing up for this I NEVER ran or have really in my life. So this week I started running 3 miles. I run a slow 3 miles right now but I can finish 3 miles. I have 6 weeks I think until the race to get better and more comfortable at running. I bought some running shoes last night and I'm ready to go!

Oh and when I finish the race I get a viking hat, T-shirt and a medal that is in the shape of a viking hate...so excited!

Wow! I'm impressed! I ran a marathon in 2007 and now I literally can't run 2 miles straight. How'd you jump right in at 3?! Lucky!! :)

Sounds like you will have a lot of fun!
