25 MILES!

So 2 Sundays ago, I did a 5k mud run in the Bronx . It was alot of fun and very exciting . It felt really good signing up and then following through with something was so out of the norm for me . Me and my 'team' of gfs finished in about 40 mins !

Yesterday there was a benefit for FARA to raise money and awareness for Friedreichs Ataxia which is a nueromuscular disease that my 23 yr old nephew was diagnosed with at age 7. He rode 5 miles on his handcycle and me and a friend rode 25 miles!!!

It was in Limerick PA which is just outside of Philly. It was such a great day and they did an amazing job organizing the ride. Carrabbas , Outback Steak house and Bonefish Grill provided the lunch afterwards and it was delicious ))

There were sooo many hills that many of the 'real' riders that signed up for the 50 mile course , ended up switching to the 25 mile course at the halfway point. It was so tiring and very challenging but we finished in about 3 hrs.

Two things that I never really thought about doing, I did within a week of each other and I killed it ! Yea me )

I signed up for a 1/2 marathon in April next year, and a muddy warrior dash in May -- totally out of character for me too!

It was hard but a lot of fun . Adrenaline is pumping the whole time and you don't even realize what you accomplished until its over and you replay it in your head!

A 1/2 marathon ??! Good for you ! Thats one thing that scares me a little . I'm not good at long distance but that may be a future future goal . You will do awesome at the warrior dash and May is a great month to do it in . I usually run at night or early morning because I don't like to be seen (silly I know) so being out there in the open with all those people (they say 5,000 were at the mud run) was really intimidating at first . Everyone is so friendly and nice and as you go you will hear yells of encouragement from everyone. Its kinda really cool
