30 days: Lazy to Crazy

First off I need to thank everyone that's helped me so far. Gwen, Laura and my mommy that have donated to the craziness. Also my cousin Marie-Pier that has mailed me an extra headlamp she had! That's one less thing to buy!!

Second matter of business I changed my post title to a countdown. Seems easier to track and it's scary to see how close the Ultra Beast is. The title lazy to crazy is because i kinda sat on my butt for 2 days. I might have also indulged in some hard apple ciders. Today i'm turning it around and eyes on the prize(s). The workout consisted of going up and down hills. Very much so run down but more of fast walk up. But that would be too easy for a Spartan to leave it at that. I filled up my Camelbak with water and put in 10lbs worth of dumbbells. That's 18 extra pounds on my back. I suppose that would have been enough but I couldnt leave the kids in the car. I put them in the stroller for an extra 70lbs to push. Today I went up and down 3 times for a little over 3 miles.

I wanted to more but I promised my kids we would stop at the zoo and have lunch before my son's appointment. Next time I will shoot for more but it was a good test of my camelbak and a good location scouted out. I also kept the extra weight on to visit the zoo. Why not eh.

I also feel i need more pushups in my life. So i've been dropping and doing 10 or so at random times. Doesnt sound like much but it adds up. I've also been contemplating carrying my 30lbs sand bag in my Ergo baby carrier all the time. Why not add the need to consume more water on a daily basis while i'm at it.



The other thing I have cooking is that I am planning on making myself an add on pouch to carry extra things on my Camelbak. The assault pack fanny pack works but it's huge and cumbersome. My husband will also have to turn it in before the race soooooo. I figured out something to make with materials i have and I spent 4$ on things i needed. I hope it does fail.
