Miami Super Spartan 2014

We came, we saw, we conquered! We did it! 8.5 miles and 21 obstacles in the Miami heat with very little water obstacles! We had a team of 3 of us and we made a pact to stay together,s o we did. We finished in 3:35:36. I was very happy we did it! It has boosted our confidence to do a Beast this year and get our Trifecta! Check us out before the race!

 

We were so pumped! The weather was great and we made sure to stretch good! I tried to prepare Scott and Tai, I could tell there would be quite a bit of running; but, we did the best we could! Check me out in action!

We were tired when we got done, but I think Scott wasn't prepared for how sore he would be! The pain cream I used helped me tremendously, so I was fine afterwards! We got a picture with the swag and here is our time on the site! 

 

Check out those medals! A finishers medal and my first piece of the Trifecta!

We had such a good time. We are definitely going to do the Beast. I just hope they prepare better for this one! It will be 12 plus miles, so running will be a must! Here's to the next workout! Until then...

April 2014 Workouts

Well, it is here...the month of April! It is both a big travel month and a big race month! We went to Disney for Khloe's birthday and went to Miami for my birthday and for the Miami Super Spartan! I got a few runs in before we went. Here they are:

April 1st - I ran 2.5 miles in Orlando! The weather was great and the complex we were staying at was beautiful! I ran 2.5 miles in 24:36, which is a 9:45 per mile pace. You can view my route here. I was very proud of this run!

April 7th - I got a treadmill run in today. 2.0 miles in 19:20, which is a pace of 9:40 per mile. 

April 9th - I ran around campus and used my watch! I ran 3.01 miles in 28:54, one of my best runs on campus! This gave me a pace of 9:36 per mile! You can view my route here. I don't know if it was the pain cream I used before the run or the watch keeping me in check with my pace, but I did great on this run!

April 12th - My Birthday, Woo Hoo! Miami Super Spartan (on an additional post)

April 22nd - I ran a treadmill run, 2.00 miles in 19:20, with a pace of 9:40 per mile.  

April 23rd - I swam for the first time in a long time! I did 700 yards in 13:25. I averaged 1:54 per 100 yards. Here is my break down:
50 yards 0:40
50 yards 0:52
50 yards 0:54
100 yards 0:55 and 0:59 (1:54)
100 yards 0:56 and 1:01 (1:57)

April 24th - I did a campus run outside, and man it is hot! it was only 81 degrees, but it felt like 90! I ran 2.5 miles in 23:41, which is a pace of 9:31 per mile! I'm getting better :) You can view my route here. 

I think I am just about caught up on my posts for my workouts! I will do a better job not lagging in the posting category! Here's to the next workout! Until then...
