Sounds like CG wasn't murdered by a monster and/or hobo last night then?


correct, I survived, but I went back out to grab my water bottle and forgot to shut off the living room light so it looked like I was awake all night. Probably kept the hobos and murderers away.

DH said someone in another tent started playing a radio at 4:30 this morning. Plus people stood outside talking til late. They didn't get great sleep but he said he stayed warm so that was good.

I'm going to look lazy - been doing inside stuff all day and now DH is going to go out and mow. Neighbors are doing a bunch of outside work and I'll probably just go out to water the trees and move the hoses. Oh well, I've been doing stuff since like 11.

Fine. Break your foot. :jimlad:
In my defense, I only broke my foot because I wasn't landing properly due to a knee issue I was having (Cyclops lesion behind the knee cap and torn meniscus). Now that everything is fixed and good to go, I *shouldn't* break my foot again.

Light. The age old nemesis of hobos.

cg, you watching this?


I mean, I kinda stopped caring around lap 50 but **** has been insane this race. We might have two dead drivers if they didn't have the SAFER down there. I thought Matt was going to be in the infield.

And the dingbat Kurt up front and weird drivers up front? Yeah this probably will end badly.

Good runs? I'm sorry I don't understand the concept. Although I am participating in a warrior dash this summer.
I ran one of those. I enjoyed it. It wasn't hell like the Spartan Race was. If you build a solid base, you should do well. The party afterwards is a lot of fun.

Which category of the Spartan Race did you? Depending on how the warrior dash I was thinking maybe attempting on the Spartan Sprint, and then maybe some day do the the Tough Mudder. But that would be a long ways a way if I were do that.

I did the Spartan Sprint in Lincoln, Nebraska in November 2013. It was effing miserable. It was cold that day and it ended up being nearly 5 miles long. I want to do another one, since the race distance wasn't actually too bad. It was just crawling through 200 yards of a mud pit, under barbed wire, in cold mud. I couldn't feel my hands after that and so I had no grip strength the rest of the course. You get 30 penalty burpees if you can't complete an obstacle and I ended up doing 120 total burpees since my hands were frozen for the obstacles that were based on grip.
