Asheville Spartan. It didn't start off well. We met up at 7:30am. And Rogue promptly crawled into the trunk of her car. While we waited for JC. Sooooo how's your plague doing? Ok. Since Rogue was half-dead, JC was coming straight from working an overnight shift, and Tiny Brazilian's feet wouldn't touch the pedals of … Continue reading Asheville Spartan Super
Spartan Preparation Tips
I'm not best at preparation. I'm more of a “just give me a general time and location and let’s see what happens” kinda chick. I think it's why Rogue and I mesh so well on the adventure front. And possibly why our adventures are often labeled shit shows... Spartan Super is tomorrow. Black Mountain. Not … Continue reading Spartan Preparation Tips
Spartan’s Coming
I’ve given up on my hair this week. Apparently it’s quite evident. When I walked into work this morning, co-worker asked if I’d cut my hair. When I responded in the affirmative, his response was not the standard, “looks good.” No. No, instead he asked, “are you pleased with it?” Am I pleased with... No, … Continue reading Spartan’s Coming
I Make The Coffee Now
Today was a two job day. This means that my lunch break was spent driving from one job to the next. Instead of actual lunching. I like food very much. I don't like no food very very much. When I rolled up into job #2, unlunched, my co-workers informed me that they'd broken the coffee … Continue reading I Make The Coffee Now
Dude. Just Be Nice.
I'm a pretty easy person to get along with. Sure, I may get a little pouty when I feel left out. But for the most part, I just want people to be happy and enjoy life. I mean, mostly I want me to be happy. But I like that for other people, too. So, if … Continue reading Dude. Just Be Nice.
How Hair Dictates Workout Schedules
I am at the mercy of my hair. Y'all just don't even know. Or maybe you do. My son posted this the other day. Reminding me that we have a Spartan Super on Saturday. This Saturday. It was...startling. And not just because it caused some of my female friends to use words like "hot" and … Continue reading How Hair Dictates Workout Schedules
Elevator Shaft Run. On Fire.
I just woke up from a nap coma. I don't know if y'all noticed. But the earth is on fire. It is on actual fire. All of it. I like to think it is the weight of the atmospheric fire that is making movement feel impossible. And undesirable. That and the decision to run stupid … Continue reading Elevator Shaft Run. On Fire.
I Said More Awkward Words
I need to probably not spend so much time in places with people. Went to see my girl, Stephanie, today. Every other month or so, I visit her and ask her to please make the top of my head not look like I've just completely given up on life. And so she goes to work … Continue reading I Said More Awkward Words
Hanging Rock Training
A few years ago, someone was peer pressuring me into signing up for Pilot Mountain to Hanging Rock Ultra. So I did. This year. Sometimes my peer pressure response is a little delayed. And since I am in no way physically or emotionally prepared for a mountain ultra right now, some training seemed like a … Continue reading Hanging Rock Training
Forget CRL
I can't currently feel my legs. It's sad, really. Because I had such a nice rest day yesterday. It was beautiful. While it lasted. It ended pretty abruptly at 5:02pm today. That's when I drew my first card to determine my first exercise for HIIT Poker. At PlayFITStayFIT, it's never just a boring, straightforward workout. … Continue reading Forget CRL
