Out for fun

The weather was great again today. Low 60's, not too windy, the sun on my face.... nice. I went to Nay Aug Park. I figured there would be a crowd there, and there was, but I was happy to find one little playground empty. Once a week or so, if no one is around, I run through the park a little. I am planning on doing a "Warrior Dash" with Denise et al. in June. Its a 4 miler with 10 or so obstacles scattered throughout. There will be walls to climb over,,,, water to wade through, logs to crawl over and under, that sort of thing. I know I can run the 4 miles, I do that a few times a week, and I know I can get through the course. What I am a little concerned about the ease that I can get through the course. I know it won't kill me, and I know I won't quit until its over, but it will call on me to use muscles that I do not normally use. So, when no one is around the playground, I climb over walls or fences, crawl through tubes and up slides, use the hanging rings, and do my best to use those muscles that are too often ignored.

Be active, be young
