| I didn't get bloody, but I did find a few small barbed-wire related holes in my pants |
What do I have to recover from? Hmmm -
I've been having fun watching miscellaneous bruises pop up - mainly on my forearms (from the belly crawls), chest and knees (from going over the climbing wall).
 |
| We're about 5-1/2K through the course at this point |
 |
| Ice. Barbed Wire. Good times. Close to the end, but still more to come. |
 |
| Hay bales. So determined not to break an ankle today. |
 |
| Hey Elissa, I'm right behind you. Thanks for distracting those gladiators. |
 |
| Got me some gladiators to dodge...and my eye on the finish line! |

Hadn't realized exactly how much I had been dreading Spartan until now, when I'm so glad that it's over. At the same time, the realization of what an accomplishment this was is really sinking in. I keep looking at my medal and grinning.
 |
| It's at home on my medal rack now, but the medal spent the first two days at work with me. Everytime I felt stiff and sore, I'd look at it and remember "Oh, riiiiight...." |
And now that this is behind me, I can start looking forward to my first Try-a-Tri at the end of July!
Rest of the week went like this -
 |
| Son and dog catching a nap on the ride home from Spartan. |
Sunday - Spartan Race, drive back home, 3K dog walk.
Monday - Rest day. 2K walk to the dog park and back.
Tuesday - Big Rest day - I caught a cold my husband was spreading around and it hit me like a ton of bricks.
Wednesday - Starting to feel better already. Went to the gym for a boot camp, focused on strength-training and stretching out. 3K dog walk before bed.
 |
| Beautiful evening for a walk! |
Thursday - Last day of school for the kids! Report cards and celebratory pizza, then frantically cleaned the house and got them packed to go to my in-laws for the night. Trail walk with the dog after (2+K).
Friday - Back to the gym for a boot camp, followed by an impromptu Zumba class. OMG - I had forgotten just how much I love Zumba!! Left the gym very, very sweaty and very, very happy.
How was your week?
