I Didn't Even Know I Could Hurt There

Oh man.

Oh man, oh man, oh man.

I hurt right now!

So, remember how I said I signed up for the Spartan Race? Well, a ton of my friends are signing up tons, and one of those friends decided we needed to work out together. The beau and I joined him at the park, and man oh man, he kicked our ass. He's training to be a wrestler, and decided to show us his workout routine.

HIS WARM-UP NEARLY MADE ME PUKE!!

Yeah. Warm-up. That's as far as we got before we had to stop. Squat hops, push-ups and crunches are not my ideal warm-up.

AND THEN, my friend and I went on a trail run together. Well, more like half a trail run, since we got lost and had to turn around and RUNNING ON A TRAIL FREAKIN' SUCKS! Hills and bumps and gravel and ohmygod I don't want to try that again forever.

Anyhow, after about two hours at the park, I am now suffering the next day. I'm sore in places I don't remember having. Sitting down and standing up are a crazy effort. My stomach hurts from the crunches. And I'm giggling the whole way. I'm happy to say I'm not discouraged. I can't wait to see improvements in my body. The Spartan Race is no joke. I have a feeling I will need to be carried back from that race, but I will make it, and I will finish, even if it kills me.

Just thought I'd drop by and let everyone know how sore I am.

How was your weekend? :)

  1. I think trail running is so intriguing, but I'm afraid!!! I'm afraid of breaking my ankle!!! The Spartan Race scares me so bad, I can't wait to hear how it goes for you!

  2. You go girl!!! You are scaring me on the Spartan race. I signed up for my first 5k (biggest loser) and it is a Spartan. I have weak ankles, but I want to trail run. I think it would make me feel the pain less. Good for you!!!
