Dirty Mudder Puckers - update

It's the Dirty Girls Mud Race coming up October 5th. My team is the Dirty Mudder Puckers, and we will rock-N-mud!! I invested in a good pair of trail runners, and they passed the fitness test today at the gym. I did box jumps, jump squats, and hard sprints ----- felt like I was running on clouds. I am sold! I am posting a picture of what they look like in case you need a recommendation.

Training for a Mud Run

Some of you will know what I am talking about when we discuss training for a Mud Run. This is my first run, so I am completely excited and wanting to learn how to train properly. I'll be running the Dirty Girls Mud Run 5K on October 5th. This run won't be too rough, but I want to approach it like it is the 24-Hour Death Race Mud Run. My team is called DIRTY MUDDER PUCKERS!! Ladies, there is still time to enter the race with me in the DFW area. Join under my team name, and we'd love to have you. I am providing some training tips that I have been adding to my daily routine 6 Tips to help you prepare for a Mud Run. This particular website is wonderful for workout training tips for fitness. Some of this weeks activities included:

• Monday -- Strength-Training with combo box jumps, squats, with light cardio between each set.
• Tuesday -- Nike Training with more box jumps, burpees with combo jump-back pushups, sit-ups of all kinds.
• Wednesday -- Yoga (and I thought this was going to be easy!!!! NOT -- had to leave after 35 min).
• Thursday -- Light strength-training, walking lunges, with strong cardio between each including SPRINTS!! I'll start adding more of these each day ----- I do not like to just RUN - Boring!
• Friday -- I will do more Yoga, but this guy is crazy! He bends like a pretzel and it is more of a power-Yoga --- so it will not be relaxing to say the least.

I hope you too will benefit from my tips and tricks for fitness and health as we move along to the first mud run. I'll also be posting info on the nutrition plan -- as I eat my asparagus with salad/tuna.

Working to the Oldies

Sitting at my desk moving in my seat listening to the oldies. Nothing like it. Right now on the radio is Bachman Turner Overdrive Taking Care of Business. How many times have I wished so bad that our YOGA instructor (I fondly call the YOGA Monster) would play some Led Zepplin Whole Lotta Love. Or even some Stairway to Heaven for the corpse pose. This morning on the way to work it was John Fred & his Playboys Judy in Disguise. I always thought the guy was saying "Judy in the Sky." There is nothing like reminiscing through old music. Yuck! I hate that word old, because it IS the music that makes us feel young!

Athletes Over 50

Do you know any? I certainly do, and there is total respect!!!! Some of you understand what I am saying when I mention it begins to hurt when you roll over in bed, put your feet on the floor, and even perform stretching in Yoga. In my mind I am still in my 20's, but my bones and body say otherwise. What's up with that?? Good news is that I can still perform, and I bet you can too. I was thinking about the song I heard this morning by Toby Keith -- "I ain't as good as I once was, but I am as good once as I ever was." Well Baby, I am good a few times!!! HA. I researched Athletes Over 50, and it made my day. Let's pay some respect to these awesome individuals today. If you are over 50, you'll particularly appreciate this article.
