About a year ago today I started out on my journey to train for my 10k obstacle course. I started out not even being able to run a whole mile. Heck, I couldn't even run a whole 1/2 mile. I sounded like a freight engine ramping up..."chug, chug, chug, chug". It was evident that running was something I had never done before.
By March I had run my first mile. Wow! That was an accomplishment. Then, my friend Emma decided our first moment of truth had come. I ran my first 5k. I finished in just under an hour. Yes, an hour. But I finished! Yes, a 5 year old did beat me. But hey, this was one lean, mean 5 year old.
Then it was time to get into serious race shape. I had been going to a trainer but I needed to crank it into high gear. The race was only getting closer. That's when I joined bootcamp (http://www.operationbootcamp.com/).
Four weeks of none stop working out and hard core dieting and I was whipped into shape! Then we started doing bricks at the gym. What are bricks? Run for 5 min then bike 5 min and keep rotating. It helps with training for events where you switch back and forth between events (such as the Muddy Buddy).
Finally, the day of reckoning came....
