So, I really started training for Tough Mudder(TM) on June 21, with a 2.5 mile run that took me half an hour to complete and confirmed the reality that I needed to spend the following four months training hard for TM. According to my log on GetLeanTulsa, over the past month (crap, it's already been a month), I have run 26.44 miles, biked 76.28 miles, and worked out in the gym twice. I wasn't kidding about not being a gym rat.
But I rejoined the gym at work (they fortuitously require three month memberships from contractors). So I am on my way to a consistent, weekly workout routine. I figure if I do strength training on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and then some sort of cardiovascular workout on the remaining four days, I should be in reasonable shape in three month's time. My longest run in the past month was 8.1 miles in 1 hour, 15 minutes. So, that has to count for something. At this rate, I've have run over 100 miles, biked over 300, and worked out at least 8 times in four months. But seriously, I'll hopefully have far eclipsed all of those benchmarks. Here's hoping I don't hurt myself.
