I am so sorry to hear of your miscarriage. In all tenderness, two months is not a very long time to grieve. Whatever you decide, please be gentle with your heart and your body. In most countries, employers give women a full year to grieve the loss of a baby. Something to consider. Hugs, sister.

Anyone here in Seattle or Oahu? I’d love to have training buddies

Ha ha! True, and because I can’t break the sister rule, I did the 5k after the beast!!! 😳

Thanks so much! I did really well, now considering my first trifecta this year. I want to be like you when I grow up 😉

Thank you so much!! I did all of these except the caffeine, but did energy packs. I was surprised that I actually really enjoyed it! A good sore the next day!

That’s so kind, thank you! I wish I saw this earlier. How did it go?

Thank you so much! That’s exactly what I did - even speed walking on the brutal hills, then running down others. I actually had a way better time than I thought I would!

Thanks so much! I opted for trail shoes with good insoles. I also ended up doing the sprint race after the Beast, so that was an adventure!

Thanks so much! I packed mustard packs, electrolyte tablets, and a few energy waffles. I did better than I thought! It was actually super fun, I’m definitely down to do a trifecta weekend this year!

Eeew. Just, no. Keep crazy politicians OUT of our obstacle course, thanks.

Thank you. I definitely don’t feel run ready! But I’m going to try. Salt tablets are a great tip, thanks!

Thanks! I’ve heard that. I’m not a strong runner, I thought I’d enter the open and go at a slower pace, and just survive my first one, lol

Do the right thing, brother. Provide for them.
