2,856 hours
which is 171,360 minutes
or 10,281,600 seconds...
However, I guess the most effective measure is 119 days from today!
But I think I like looking at the minutes best. It makes me feel like I have more time. :)
This morning I followed my fellow Mudders through an interesting course. We went back to a playground with a small ski slope. We ran around the field, up the hill (a very STEEP hill, mind you... ok, so that's when I have to confess that I NEVER run up the entire hill. I run up about 1/3 of it and then pray to God that my lungs won't explode while I'm walking to the top to meet my team), through all kinds of obstacles on the playground, did pull-ups (I can't do ONE!), suicides, side crawls, push ups, and more. We worked hard for an hour.
I only thought I was going to die 3-4 times... improvement!
It's funny... when I work out alone I feel like I'm getting stronger! When I work out with my VERY young teammates, I feel like the old lady that I truly am (ok... I know I'm not old, but compared to my team, I might as well be using a walker).
But it's good.
I like the challenge that they bring.
I HATE pushing myself that hard during the hard parts,
but I like feeling GOOD the rest of the time.
Down 5 pounds since I signed up. Up to 5 push ups. Moving in the right direction.
Hoping to post a picture of the team soon. Then you'll "get it" when you see my young compadres. But don't hold it against them that they're young and beautiful. I love them! (until I'm trudging up the hills behind them... then I strongly dislike them for just a few minutes...)
119 to go...
