| 2.5 miles SLOW!!!! I think I may have race madness for a test I am taking tomorrow. Is that possible? It's a crazy 7 hour test that if passed will give me a special certification (that you can get in addition to your doctorate) in orthopedics. I'm stressed out of my mind. |

| I'm exhausted!!!! 7 hour test today: From 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. with only one 50 minute break, otherwise you had to be in your chair: no food, no drinks, no mints, nothing!!!! Had to be metal dectected, photo I.d.ed, picture taken, signature matched, pull my pockets inside out, etc. both before going into the testing room and re-entering after break. It was EXHAUSTING!!!! Ha!! 18 mile run with Shelbey starting at about 5:00 p.m. Our long run was exactly what I needed to get that test, and the hundreds of hours studying for it out of my system!!! Ha! We took it fairly easy down to the last 17 miles of the SGM course and then ran another mile to Shelbey's house so that her hubby could take us back to Ry's car (Ry drove us up, and then came back and ran the last 6 miles with us). We averaged an 8:19 as we took it fairly easy and chatted away. We are simply trying to get our legs ready for some downhill come the May marathon which will be crazy downhill. I need to find a nice balance since Boston is not crazy downhill which is 3 weeks prior. Both should be fun! :-) So here is how dang tired my brain was last night. It goes a little something like this: While we were running I couldn't help but think about how dark it got so early. Seriously, like 7:00ish it seemed crazy dark! I was trying hard not to trip on things. Neither Ry or Shelbey were complaining so I just kept focused on where my feet were landing and crossed my fingers that I wouldn't fall. Part two of the story goes like this: As I was laying in bed (well past midnight since my mind was racing about the test) it hit me!!! When the sun went down I didn't think about taking my sunglasses off!!! Hence I was running in them the whole time!!!! What an idiot!!!! HA!!!!! :-) |

| 20 miles, AP 8:14 SO glad to have company today and SO glad to have Friday's off. The trade-off is that by the time I get home on Wednesday night I am almost in tears! Hoping my body gets used to the longer days. The crappy thing is that it takes me 30 minutes to drive to work and 30 minutes to drive home. Then I work a 10 hour shift, which actually by the time I get all my charting done ends up being closer to 11.5. So I leave my house at 6:30 a.m. and then get home around 7 p.m. Something has got to give. I need to see one or two less patients in order to catch up on charting during the day, or not work so far away from home, or go back to a normal work week, because I hate not getting home until dinner time. I miss my kiddos too much. Granted, most of them don't get home until about that time (secondary to sports, cheer, etc) but still. Maybe I need to go back to my old schedule. Or maybe I should just go to working 30 hours a week (but then I don't get all the benefits). Ugh. I have no idea. Blah! But I digress, back to the run - So, it went a little something like this: Ran to Shelbey's house (3.5 miles) Then Shelbey and I ran on the trail up to Brigham, then the big hill, then to my house for more fuel. Then back to her house where we picked up her hubby to run one mile (13 miles) Ran back home, and a jig a jig jig (3.5 miles) It's super nice to have the long run done on Friday. I like it! And as always, I love running with Shelbey! She's a freaking rock star! :-) |

| In a nutshell . . . I was NO WHERE NEAR ready for this race . . . BUT . . . I had SO much fun!!!! Seriously though, my upper body needs some major work! Four years ago in this race I was able to take 2nd overall woman with a time almost 30 minutes faster than this year. Four years ago I also was able to do all the obstacles but two. For those who may not be versed in Spartan races there is a 30 burpee penalty for each obstacle you cannot complete on your first attempt! So 4 years ago I only had to do 60 burpees. Guess how many I had to do this year? 180 freaking burpees!!!!! HA!!!! Hence the 30 minutes slower!! By the end my burpees were a very pathetic attempt at raising my hands above my head before falling straight to the ground followed by toothpick arms struggling to push my muddy abdominal area off of the dirt (in a pathetic attempt at a push-up) only then to have my quivering legs barely succeed in returning me upright only to have to do it again. VERY SAD!!!! Ha!!!! The funniest thing about it all is that Shelbey in I registered for the Elite section because it was $10.00 cheaper and you got to start earlier!!! Shelbey definitely belonged there but I definitely did not!!!! I think when I figured out the numbers I came in about 76th place out of roughly 1100 females all together but only 72nd out of 100 elite females!!!! HA HA HA!!! Someone had to bring in the pack!! Hee Hee! But Shelbey killed it!!! There is something to be said about being 25 and a collegiate soccer player. She had no idea what she was getting herself into but she also does not know how to lose! So she pushed like a mad woman and came in 19th woman overall!! Which is CRAZY good now a days! When I did it 4 years ago the competition was not nearly what it is now! Seriously, some of the women that show up to these things are unreal and travel the world competing in these races. It was amazing. Shelbey literally killed it! She is a rock star!!! Best of all is that Ry ran this race too! He did it the smart way though! He did not sign up for the Elite section and hence was not monitored nor recorded on camera when he failed an obstacle and hence could choose to not do the burpees!!! He just pushed until he no longer wanted to push. Towards the final third as we were watching for him to come in we saw him fail an obstacle and not do any burpees. Afterwards we said, "What the heck? Why didn't you do your burpees?" He laughed and said he was trying to get disqualified so that he didn't have to finish!!!!! That boy!!! I love him!!!! (And yet he finished and looked good doing so!) :-) | | Comments(1) |

| 21 miler, 8:14 pace 6.5 by my lonesome pushing the pace a bit before picking up Shelbey. Picked up Shelbey and we kept a good honest pace for 5 miles then picked up Blake for 2 easier miles followed by another 5 miles at another good honest pace. Then 3.5 to get back home by myself trying to push but feeling quite tired. Ha!!! |
