    I agree!!! I am getting there but I need those now 51 days!

    The thought of carrying sand bags up that mountain had me in the squat rack at 5am today!

    The thought of the trail running had me out in the woods at sunrise on Satruday on a mountain bike trail. This next week I will step it up to an even more challenging trail!

    Sunrise doesn't exist in the weekends. :tongue:
    I hit neighborhood hills this weekend. It was lovely and painful.

    Omg, I'm picturing you army crawling across a field and there's some woman walking her dog and she sees you - you just put your finger to your lips "Shhhhhh...." and carry on your way.

    I'll make sure to rock a cut off camo shirt that morning... and if she is out there at before 5am she deserves the shock!

    This morning's moonlight run followed by a crawl in cold wet grass of the ballfeild was not so much like a crawl through the mud but more like an event from one Spartan race i watched...

    Ran again today... pushed my pace from the very start and finally got my 5k time back under 30 minutes... I know that is probably slow for most of you but that 28:40 is the best 5k time I have ran in 2 years. When I heard the little Nike + voice say it I raised my arms like Rocky at the top of the steps! LOL

    My best 5k time is something like 34 minutes and on a treadmill with no incline. So be proud, darlin'! That's awesome!!!
