So far this year I have done a race every month.

Not a bad start to 2012

Im not sure what to think... I know they said it was 5k but there is no way it took me 98min to do a 5k. I was running more than I have in the past. I didnt stop and rest or take my time on the challenges. I did stop and help a lady over a wall and then I helped pull a guy up the rope but I dont see that causing me to be 15min slower that WALKLING the dash last year... Yeah I was 15 min slower than what I WALKED the dash.

I may need to get a GPS watch and just start seeing how far and how the race is and how long it takes me.

Oh and I will be at the dash again this year. 1pm but will be with a group from work doing the party thing after the race.

Did the Warrior Dash this weekend. Ran it with a few of my friends from work.
Running will be the death of me.

The company that put on the race made some major improvements over last year. They had a higher quality of obstacles and they had ones that you get wet on.

It was a hot one this weekend. The temp at the start line was 95 but that made the mud at the end that much better.

My first year my sister was kind enough to walk the race with me. We got done in a blistering 75 min. This year I got done in 53 min. I think I could have taken another 3-5 min off if I didn't stop to help or cheer for people along the race.

All in all it was a great time and I can’t wait to do it again this weekend in NM.

Signed up for this race today. Its on May 19th.

Happy for you, sad for me. :-( As in all good custody battles, however, I have already claimed Mike for that day.

You know... we could combine the two events and have a foamy dirt riot race and we CHASE the runners with our buggies through the desert into giant pools of soap bubbles. l I bet then a stag with laserbeam eyes would save people.

My 6th race this year will be on Sat. Then the heat comes and no races happen till sept. I need to find some cheap races in So-Cal this summer.

I know 2013 is still a bit out but Ragnar & Tough Mudder are on the same weekend :(
I still plan to support the Ragnar race, Yaz plans to run Ragnar Fri-Sat and then do Tough Mudder on Sunday. Ive yet to sign up but Im strongly gonna consider the Sunday Mudder.

I will be there on Sat. I have some people from my gym that are doing it. I already said I was in. Bummer... If things change I will let you know.

Spartan race is 2/9. They are doing a sprint(3 miles) this time.
Tough Mudder is 2/23 12 miles again.

Just a thought but I think if both promoters / organizations got together they could do better in there scheduling, these are 2 very BIG events and they schedule on the same weekend? WTH?!?!?
Yaz is trying to talk me into running Ragnar (pft!! yeah right!)
Also watched a few TM videos last night, my arms started to ache when I seen the Berlin walls and something with the electro shock also made me twitch in my seat.

Anyone want to go to CA for my birthday run?
