Shower Power

Ever heard of the Wasatch Back race?! Well a group of JD Clark employees decided to create a team and run the race this June. Imagine my surprise when two athletic girls asked me if I would like to join their team!! ME?!! I have always wanted to be athletic and run long races... so I signed up for the race! What was I thinking?! A 178 miles relay race?!! But the pictures on the website look really pretty! Heck, I believe in miracles, I can totally run this relay race!

Luckily the website had a training schedule... I decided to start my training yesterday (the day I signed up for the race). So far training has been a complete success! On the agenda for Thursday was "rest/conditioning"... so I rested and I ate loads and loads of cookies and cake to condition my body for the calories it is going to need when I begin running! :)

Besides needing to boost my intake of delightful calories...signing up for this race is also going to change my life in other ways. Since it is "busy season" right now at work, my time is a little tight. But in looking at my schedule I figured out if I take an activity I am doing now, and REPLACE it with the time I need to spend running, I'll be in good shape! So... I have decided to eliminate my shower time! It is practically over-rated anyway! Once you shower then you have to dry and curl your hair again. Get rid of showering and I have TONS of extra time on my hands for eating cookies and running! Wear a little extra deodorant and who really needs to shower?! :)
