I had surgery 10/25 and have lost weight steadily. The only exercise I get is walking 3 miles every second day.
Now my weight loss is slow down and the PT I see says I am losing more muscle that fat and need to do more toning exercises. It's been over a month and other then a few half hatred efforts I am not doing what I know I have too do. I don't know why I am being so resistant.
So... starting tomorrow (Friday) I will alternate between cross fit and either walking or swimming laps EVERY DAY for then next 21 days. I will post my progress HERE daily.
Checking in this am.....
Started on Dec 13th at 270 and this morning weighed in at 226.4 for a loss of 43.6 in 115 days
I did read that and I am sure he will be back to try again. It made it a very exciting race and it was a heart breaker for sure.
Laz, the race director, said that it didn't matter when he finished. By coming into camp the wrong way, he shorted the course by 2 miles. Although it doesn't seem like it, there is an actual course to follow. Not marked trails or anything, but a general direction you have to go. When he got his last page, he made a wrong turn that took him off course and cut it by 2 miles. It's pretty heartbreaking, but that's also what makes Barkley, Barkley.

To me that was crazy and my heart broke for him to be so close and miss it by 6 seconds. I wonder what would have happen if he came in on time how they would handle the fact he came from the wrong way but had all his pages
I have to muscle through this week. My nothing formal Saturday spent at the STEAM festival on my feet for 6 hours did nothing good for my toes which already had issues. But the show goes on and my show is at the gym.
Monday -- upper body strength training (shoulders, chest, back, bi)
Tuesday -- Cardio
Wednesday -- upper body strength training (shoulders, tri)
Thursday -- Cardio
Friday -- Lower body strength training (please be happy toes)
Saturday/Sunday -- washing, packing and shipping the child to the grandparents. Woo hoo!!!!!
Yeah, I was watching twitter as it was ending. Pretty brutal. I have no desires to run Barkley. I sometimes get lost on marked, easy trails. I don't do bushwacking.

You will do it. Did you watch any of that 100 mile run. Barkley Marathon. My heart broke for the Canadian guy not just because he was from my country but I feel bad for anyone to come so close to finishing like he did. One amazing race.
Not doing a 50 this year. need to put all my training into the half iron man.
Let me know if you sign up and which one you will do. Maybe one day it will be you doing the Barkley
