Sorry this is a few days late. I have been traveling since Friday and had no access to a computer. My goal for May is 100 miles. I kind of stopped tracking in April but after this weekend I feel revived and am ready to bring my fitness to a new level.

What happened this weekend that has renewed that spark? I ran two races in two different states. The first was an OCR called Boldrdash on the Beach. It was ~4 miles with 30+ obstacles with 2 of those miles being running in the sand. It was a great race and I managed to place 326/1035 (124/571 females) It was a great feeling to know I was on the faster side of average, approaching the elite runners times. The second races was a 5K OCR to race money for a scholarship that will allow inner city kids to attend a summer camp where they would get to experience hiking and kayaking and other activities that their families can not provide for them due to financial circumstance. It was a straight shot 300 ft up the side of a hill and then back down to some flat trails. There was about 15-20 obstacles and even with incredibly dead legs I managed to place 185/427. This has made me realized that if I actually got my nutrition straightened out and restricted my indulgences a little more and got a little more serious about my training, I could actually be pretty damn good at Obstacle course racing. I have ~5 weeks until my next fun race (zombie charge) and 6 until my next "competitive" event. My hope is by then I can see some improvements in what I am able to do on the course.

I am almost halfway to my 100 goal. I am a little behind but with workouts and walks planned for the rest of this week and a beautiful long weekend ahead of us I feel like I can catch up. Let's get this done!

Fell short at 73 miles but I am quite proud of that!
