spartan terrified

So I have been part of a fitness group for the last six months.  We do boxing and running and push-upping and lunging and squatting and crunching and planking.  I am not very good at it.  My report card would say 'Trys hard, with minimal progress.  Significant difficulties with running, may need specialised support'.

The fitness group has enrolled in the Spartan Race.  I got caught up in the impulsiveness of it and the peer pressure and entered.

Now I am terrified.

I have been googling and youtubing.  I have realised this race is for Actual Fit People who like to go through very crazy obstacles.  Not middle aged women who break into a jog when the threat of missing a plane happens.

What I think I may look like in my mind

What will probably actually happen.

I don't even know quite how to train for this thing.  Maybe I will wander around work vaulting over fences and tuck rolling into classrooms.  Practise on the monkey bars in the playground.

I figure the worst that can happen is that I sink slowly into a mud pool and have to be rescued by young fit things with official shirts on.

Or I walk away from it in the middle and say 'I'm done.  Finished.  Off to have a Breaka Choccy Milk.'  I think my pride can probably handle that.

Spartan Terrified......stay tuned
