We are Spartan!

Well, Robert and I did another Spartan race. He has pulled his friend, Keith into the mix and we are showing him the ropes (literally and so-to-speak).

Aroo, aroo, aroo!

A month ago, I planned to run as much of this race as I could. I wanted to see what I was capable of doing. But, when the time came to hop into the starting corral, I opted to tag along with Robert and Keith (sticking to their pace). We didn’t break any records, and failed a handful of obstacles along the way. My burpee grand total was 180. They weren’t pretty but I did every one of them.

Last year, I set out to support my brother, Robert in his quest for his Spartan Trifecta. His journey was successful and I now feel that he is self-sufficient and well on his way to make it his own.

Meanwhile, I took a look at my own goal for Spartan racing. I can’t say at this point whether another Trifecta is in progress. But I can say that I have signed up to do the San Jose Super (which actually in Patterson, CA) in less than a month.

Robert has a 30 minute earlier start time than me. My goal will be to see if I can catch up with him. If I feel good once we meet up, I may continue at my pace and see what I can do on my own.

In the meantime, I am stepping it up in the gym and in my running game as well. Meaning: I am starting to run again — albeit mindfully.
