Why I Oughta!!!

Nice-N-Easy run on the treadmill... I was really checking to see if my right arch was in distress. It didn't hurt nor did I notice any discomfort. I must have hit it to cause a bruise there. I think I'm okay and ready for Mesquite Marathon this weekend.

Also, I worked on my muscle-ups again at crossfit. So... for my second attempt at getting this momentous feat... drum roll... I did 10 muscle-ups. I didn't do them repeatedly. I had to rest about a minute between each one. I tried to do 2 in a row and that is now my new challenge. When I came down to kip back up for my second muscle-up my weight just threw me to the floor. Wow, I'm heavy!!!

To date... my most painful marathon!!!! I felt like this race was the day to try for my best time! I was right on course after the half way of a 1:32 time. Then at mile 15 the mild cramps started in the quads. Then a little latter my left shoulder seized up. By mile 18, the calves joined in and I called it quits and turned my pace into a jog. With 2 miles left to go I was walking and that's how I finished. I have never walked across a finish line before! My poor body hurt so bad!!! I couldn't tell which part of my body hurt more. The Alieve helped and after laying on the ground for about an hour, I got up and went to the near-by Del Taco. I was feeling so much better after a few tacos, burger and lots of coke!!! Finish time 3:54:18
