This past Sunday, I spoke with an ex coworker who ran the Spartan Sprint last year and I asked her for pointers. Her biggest piece of advice was that I should start getting out and running outside. Running outside is very different from running on a treadmill. I only have 51 days. I had a really bad infection that I found out about two days ago that has been kicking my butt. I thought I had the flu or it was my liver giving out on me and instead I had a really bad upper and lower UTI... no fun. I am taking two different antibiotics now... so I am hoping I will be in full shape soon, because we are running out of time.
So another friend told me about an app called Endomondo. So I will use that to track my mileage and I am going to try walking/jogging/running 4 miles a day on top of my regular workout. I will plan to get up and run at 5 in the morning tomorrow.
My focus has been on weightloss, and now for the next 51 days, it will be to prepare for the race and the other will follow. I can start focusing back on my weight loss goals again when it is over, but for now... strength and endurance. Running 4 miles a day outside, abs of steel before bed, eating healthy and gym in the evening 45-hour cardio and weights at night.
I can and will do this race!
