If you are a follower of our blog you will remember that last year I participated in the Warrior Dash on Father's Day. That experience was amazing and I told myself that I would do it again the following year and prepare better for it this time around.
Well, with about a month to go for the next Warrior Dash, I am glad to announce that I am doing it again, but sadly I haven't prepared any better than I did last year. I have been working a lot these past few months so my time to train has been few and far between. I have been using Your Shape Fitness Evolved on the Kinect to exercise and it has been working pretty well, but I need to go running to improve my cardio.
Unlike last year where it was just two of us, this year there is a group of us going together and it should be a fun experience. Maybe we'll do costumes or maybe we will not, but either way it will be great to run with friends and support each other at the Warrior Dash.
I am thinking about starting a running group to get prepared for the dash and just to start getting in better shape. If anyone is interested in joining, let me know. I know work schedules will make it hard to have a constant schedule, but maybe we can find a few times in the week or weekend to just get together and run for a few miles. This would be a great way to get in shape and to familiarize ourselves with our readers. Hopefully this will lead to one of our goals here at fandads: to create a community of like minded fandads.
Thanks for reading and wish me luck on June 17th.
Ran the Warrior Dash last year with a big group of friend in costumes. We had a blast, and I realized that pleather is not a good material to run in on a 90+ degree day. The mud pits were actually more of a relief...
ReplyDeleteI would love to do this, but I need a year of training and to get in shape, and I would love to get together and run. I'll let you know what's up.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I trained for maybe a few months the first time I did it and I surprised myself with the fact that I didn't collapse on the course. Later that night, that was a different story.
