Anyone else signed up for the Warrior Dash this Saturday? I run at 11:00.

    And if anyone wants to run I know of 2 people who can't so you can buy their registration from WD for $10. Pretty cheap!

    I am in no where near good enough shape to do this type of thing yet this year, but next year I'd like to start doing some of this stuff, maybe. For training purposes, how long/far do I need to be able to comfortably run before attempting anything like this? Thanks.

    Honestly you could walk it if you wanted to. There are plenty of people who do that. I usually run 2 miles max when I run. Last year I did do a few 4 mile runs but it was rare. This year I really haven't ran much at all. I plan on doing a 2 mile run tonight. I'm really not in the mood to run this weekend. I was really excited when I signed up but now I'm not looking forward to it. I'm sure it'll be fun though once we get there.

    I'd say you should be able to run/jog about 2-3 miles comfortably. There are water stations and people slow down or stop when needed. I walked some of it last year. My husband and I finished in 47 min which I thought was pretty good considering I've never done anything like that before. Our neighbors who were in TOP shape and runners already finished in 41 min so I felt pretty good about our time.

    You could totally do it!

    I did this last year and didn't run at all on the course. I walked with a couple friends and we just had a good time doing it. WE were all out of shape, but had a good time doing it :)

    Unless you wanna win, you don't need to be in good shape for this at all

    Exactly!
