GUR Day
A few of you may know that I started working out this past week. Only 2 days so far, very intense hour long aerobics, but that is enough for now. I am committed to get in shape and get healthy. And will continue going until I feel capable of adding 3, then 4, and then 5 days. I have become my own motivator, but yesterday I participated in The Great Urban Race and think I may have found my bigger motivator.
As many of you know I LOVE the Amazing race. So when the opportunity presented itself recently to participate in something that was similar in nature I went for it.
Sadly they only gave us 5 hours (and I and my teammate completed it in 4.5 hours, but it took 40 min to get back to the finish line therefore we were "late") and instead of checking in late comers who worked their asses off, didn't quit, and got through the race, they left everyone hanging. I don't see why they created that rule. It is a de-motivator for some who paid to enter the race, and yes they were not in the top finishers, but they put forth the effort and deserve recognition for the effort. I mean I really wanted to know if we got everything correct and what our time actually was. It was very disappointing to say the least that we were not given that chance.
Additionally I found one called High Trek Adventure and Urban Dare and I have every intention of trying GUR again. I just need to get in shape and healthy quickly. To get from point A to point B and so forth. Faster and in time. And so finally! FINALLY!!! I have found my motivator!!!
Just as a side note. Back in December or there abouts I told Jason that I wanted a scavenger hunt type 30th Birthday Party. Because since I can remember I have always wanted to have one. And with the Amazing Race and Geo caching out there I know that it is possible and that would be AWESOME!
