Taper Time

I want to do that like MC Hammer would so I know the taper madness is setting in!

Baltimore Running Festival is in 10 short days! All most of my training is in the bag and all I can do now is short, easy runs while I wait and wonder if I will PR. September was a horrible month for my running with how much I've been working. And we all know from past experience that once I fall off the band wagon training plan that it's hard for me to get back on it.

So while I worry that I have completely screwed up my hopes and dreams for this race and then remind myself that I did just PR a 50 miler I have decided to stop the voices in my head for a moment while I overthink something else....

Pretty Muddy professional pics are here!

Time to celebrate

 

So what do you think?! I'm pretty in love with the one of me exiting the mud pit! I can't wait to do another mud run ASAP!

Gettin' Dirty

I just got some amazing news! As if all the awesome things in my life weren't enough, I get to do a new mud run event called the Pretty Muddy. If you've never heard of this (or done a mud run!) then you seriously have to check one out! It's a women-only (sorry dudes!) 5k obstacle course with a party at the end! What's not to love? (Although, if there's a huge wall or rope climb I might miss having some strong guys helping me over!)

If this sounds like it's up you're alley (road? trail?) then you should definitely join me in Columbus, OH on September 29. If you're not local then it's okay because there's FIVE more of these awesome events happening all over the eastern United States. So what are you waiting for?! Sign up now and use the code FitFluentialPM12 to get $10 off.

My goal is to finish with more mud than I did here!

 

So join in the fun and then like Pretty Muddy on FaceBook or follow them on Twitter (@PRETTY_MUDDY) for all the latest info and lots of fun chatter! You'll find me and lots of other pretties using the hashtag #prettymuddy. It's going to be a blast!

 

Now I've got to go work on my upper body strength because I KNOW that cargo net climb is going to kick my muddy butt! :)
