Let the Training Begin

Well, I survived my first 20 minute run training session.  It wasn't pretty let me tell you, but my goal is to get out 5 days a week until the race. Whether it's for a bike ride or a little run, I have to get out. I'm hoping that after a couple of weeks I can sustain a 20 minute run. That's a big goal for me because I can't keep a sustained run to 5 minutes.

For those of you who don't know, I've been encouraged suckered into signing up for an Adventure Race.  It's an 8 hour race (~55 km) that includes navigation, trail running, mountain biking, river canoeing and repelling off some cliff.

I need to lose at least 60 lbs if I'm going to attempt this.
