I've been lazy since I signed on to do this, but...

I ran 4 miles yesterday!  It was alright, but I go really slow.  Spin class and rowing tonight.  I plan on trying some paved hills tomorrow.  Upper body strengthening and cross-country running are gonna kill me!

First Run...Not Great

2 slow miles. Side stitches the whole time. The journey begins :(

Booya!

Well it's easy to be excited when I haven't actually run anywhere. Except for the fridge ;) But I AM already scouring the web for cool t-shirt ideas. What should the t-shirt say? What is our team motto? Ideas!?!?!?

But come hell or high water (and probably both) we will be Spartans! I don't have a good training plan but my GOAL is to be able to road run at least 6 miles by the end of May. I figure 6 miles on the road = 4 miles on hilly trails (I have no scientific basis for this math, it's just how it works in my head).

Also thanks for setting this up!

We've decided to do it!

Yay!  This will be super challenging and is really exciting!  We've got a little over 18 weeks to get tough and ready! http://www.spartanrace.com/
