Do I work out? 6 days a week.

Do I want to pay $73 bucks to run a couple of miles and fall in mud? No.

Well...Guess you're just too manly ...There's a little more to it than that but you are entitled to your opinion.

At the gym as we speak, gave up my lifetime fitness membership for a 24 hour membership because I thought I'd have a workout partner, well he usually flakes. Anyone near the 24 hour on 120th (near Sheridan) want to work out, let me know. Usually 5 days a week around 3-330 pm.

On THAT note....Time to beat a tire with a sledgehammer!

I was a fat slug over the holidays but I'm getting back to it. Running everyday, and lifting every other. I need start lifting everyday alternating between upper and lower body. That race might give me a little kick in the a$$ to step it up.

Ya...being that I'm old I do have difficulties running on hard surfaces (concrete and asphalt) so I pretty much do all my running/jogging on trails."

Have you thought about barefoot running? I've had great success with it (I have minimalist running shoes from Merrell) and thought it might help you as well.

I crashed my motorcycle a few years ago and now ride a titanium rod. They drove the rod through the center of my tibia and had to go in through the knee. When I got done with PT and started running again my knee hurt and I was limited to only a few miles. I was starting to get concerned about the damage I might be doing to the knee so I did a little research and found out about barefoot running. It's given me the chance to really run again and I don't have any knee issues at all.

I am not in shape but have started doing CrossFit in Brighton to get back in shape. I too am registered to do the Spartan Sprint at Carson in May. My goal is merely to cross the finish line under my own power. Anything more will be icing on the cake. It will be my 45th bday present to myself to accomplish this goal.

If you want me to tell you why cross-fit/"boot camp"/rapid obstacle type workout programs are bad and encourage poor form, increased risk of injury (including well documented cases of rhabdomylosis), don't provide the cardio benefits of biking/rowing/running...etc, don't provide great increases in strength, and haven't been proven to be beneficial to training for any sport by a credible organization then we can talk further by pm.

What I was really saying it that I don't understand why I'd pay $73 bucks for it. Lets examine what I get if I sign up: (my analysis in italics)

All Racers Receive:
- Finishers Medal $2 pot metal that is good for what?
- T-Shirt $5-10 for a shit that I would only ever wear to the gym, and probably feel ashamed for doing so?
- Free Beer ticket for anyone 21 and over $1 pour of bud light, and not really great for anyone who actually works out
- Bragging Rights Worthless
- Free Mud Got that in the back yard
- High Pressure Water to the Gut Worthless
- Roasted Shoelaces Worthless
- Scrapes and Bruises Takes me out of a real exercise routine and might prevent me from being able to play hockey for a bit
- Awesome Stories to Tell Worthless

So i get $8-13 in crap I don't want, so I'm giving the organizers $60+ for what? I doubt the set up costs that much, and if it does they need to find a better organizer.

Looks like fun!

Hah! If you decide to go back to lifetime I usually workout alone, wouldn't mind a partner. Just got back actually.

When do you normally go, what type of routine do you use?
