This is on “the list” for Spring 2014. The grand plan will be uploaded later, but for now this is the big thing on my mind. Joining some of Bozeman’s finest- Molly, Dewey, & Joe- for the race, if we can secure spots for ourselves! Apparently we will need full body spandex! And lighter gear? Details!
I am trying to prepare a little every day for this challenge. Probably the best thing I can do to get ready is to actually sign up! December 1st at 7am MST we will do this and hopefully all secure spots in the race. My preparation tonight was somewhat stymied by the necessity to make/proof/and practice my neurology presentation for tomorrow. It was equally hindered by the fact that I made a batch of delicious chocolate chip cookies to distract the judges. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in marriage it’s that well fed people are kinder and more forgiving (or maybe that’s what Joe has learned)! Even so, Joey and I managed to sneak in our evening calisthenics. Just using the word calisthenics makes me feel like a gym teacher!
Not the hardest workout, but the jump squats always get our attention. My goal is to do this regimen while I’m on the interview trail and any night where I don’t have the time or resources for cardio. Although if I am going to rehab the knee to fighting shape and finish a 40 mile mountain traverse I had probably just better not miss the mileage at all!
