Long Time No Post... new achievements

Well, I hadn't been posting the last little while, and you might assume that I hadn't been doing anything to go with that lack of online activity.

But, in fact I had achieved a fair bit, if I do say so my self.

I  have finished all the Spartan Races: 2 5km Sprints, 1 13 km Super and 1 21.9 km Beast.  With that, I got my Trifecta Medal, and I finally accomplished something I set out as a goal. That was a week ago tomorrow, and my heel is still torn up, but I'm feeling good about that, and wondering what else I can do.  I'm hoping that next year I will be able to do it for time, in stead of for completion.  With all the working out I did for this ( the weights and upper body) I ended up putting on some muscle weight, but I think if I start a work out program starting monday, I will weight myself then and see what I'm going to be up to.



So, I am going to set out doing a more dedicated and rigorous work out schedule. The Spartan website has a pretty good 30 day thing going on, so I might start from the bottom and work my way up and try it that way.  But, I also have other things I'm doing like riding my pedal bike and kayaking, swimming and yoga.

I also want to look at doing a half marathon,  ( I know the beast was pretty much that, but a lot of it was hiking up hills and stuff) I know I wont be able to do the ones this October, because of a work course I'll be on, but hopefully I can get to doing one next spring as well.

Which is what I think I'll do today, some yoga and then swim, take a nice relaxing day and enjoy it.
