I signed up for a new obstacle course race, Iron Mudder. It's 3.5 miles and scheduled for October 22. I did a lot of walking while I was out of town--which I will talk about in a later blog--and when I get over this rediculous cold, I plan on returning to the weights, treadmill and doing some other things to improve my performance over the next two months.
I noted when I walked while on vacation that I am getting stronger and my balance is much better than it was a year ago. Seems like I could take the stairs at my parents two story home much more confidently and we walked four miles in some very hilly terrain. A was able to break a comfortable sweat and work some of my large muscle groups. I am returning to my original plan for the treadmill to be able to jog four miles by the race.
I'm encouraged by my performance while on vacation and I'm looking forward to the next two months. I will definitely keep you posted as to my progress.
