A new race look

So I've got my race this weekend and wanted to be hard core for just one race. What is the easiest way to look crazy? I'll tell you, it is to cut your hair into a mohawk. After this weekend I'm sure I'll shave it down even but it will be fun to have a mohawk for a couple days.
My stupid shins won't stop hurting from running so I've started doing the stair stepper at the gym and let me tell you that thing will wear a brotha out!

Captain red legs

was the name that one of my teamates gave me after I donned my huge bright red girl's softball socks for a cross country 10k. My time was like 58 minutes that was horrible I felt really bad after the first 3 miles. Cramps settled in and I slowed it was just a bad race but it was fun just to get outside and move around with people that love to do the same thing as I. Du in the Dirt is this weekend in Hot Springs, Arkansas I've heard it is a pretty hard bike ride...hope it will get me ready for Ouachita Challenge in April!

slow skinny and somewhat sporty

After biking like a maniac with some Thunder Racing people, I ran a cross-country 10k and was pretty slow finished around 00:58 that is like a 9 minute mile. I wish running was more of a steady sport but then it wouldn't be running. I wasn't hurting except my feet fell asleep and I could feel the blood pooling in the bottom of my feet. I could really tell I haven't been running though.

Sarge I can't feel my legs!!

So, I've been doing little chaturanga runs, jump rope, planks and the like. Exploring what I can try and do on the Bosu ball (sp?) squats and stuff like that. So I feel really good! I suprised myself in sort of a bad way when I went swimming the other day and saw how see through my tri shorts had become from the chlorine. I was NOT aware this could happen, and I am suprised I haven't been thrown out of the YMCA because of that. So I ordered some online yesterday and should be in the water swimming with me in about a week. Until then looks like I'll just be lifting some light weights med reps in the gym.

ITS COMING SOON!!

My first upcoming race is 2 weeks away now! exciting! I haven't been running so I need to get on that but its just been nasty weather so I didn't want to risk getting sick. My brother and his wife visited so I only got in a run on Sunday I went about 5.5 miles and I'm still sore today...not a good sign. I kept a good fast pace and it felt good though. My bro. and I were wrestling some so I guess that could count as training for the full contact sport of triathlon swimming! lower body wieghts and swimming Monday and today! YEAHH!!
