SaltyDragon Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I, too, work long shifts (12 hrs, 7 days pretty often), and I struggle to fit anything else in – so I feel for you. Work/fitness harmony is going to be a major project of mine this year. I'm eager to see what you discover! Good luck in your race! 1 Quote Level 11 Sea Dragon | Current Challenge: | | Nov '16 | Sept/Oct '16 | Aug/Sep '16 | July/Aug '16 | June/July '16 | May '16 | | Apr '16 | Mar '16 | Feb '16 | Jan '16 | Nov/Dec '15 | Link to comment
Dizz Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Checking in. So what's going on is I took a new job as an Acute Dialysis nurse. That's 4 days/12 hours. I take a stupid big machine all over the huge hospital to patient bedsides. Often the ICU. I'm in a hurry so I speedwalk while pushing the machines. I actually worked up a sweat yesterday turning over two sets of machines at once, lol. I'm still a juggling maniac, haven't been to a meet in a month due to the holidays. Going back to it this weekend. I am working on different patterns with 3 balls and passing clubs mostly. Also big update! I already met my money goal. Yay overtime! Wish me luck in the race tomorrow. The plan is to speedwalk uphill and sprint downhill. It's an out and back course through Saguaro Nat Park. My friends are running the water station.

Dizz Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 The race went well. Went with a friend and met up with my running club. It was super tough, but my plan worked. Walk uphill and run down. The course ended up being 4.5 miles instead of 4, hilly. I've been training 3 miles flat. Got some fun pictures out of it. Averaged 15m/mi which is pretty good for me. My friend came back and ran the last 1/2 mile with me. She's awesome. Now, the next day, I'm super sore. Going to be stretching all day. This afternoon am going juggling. 1 Quote Level 9 Tiefling Ranger/Scout STR 9 DEX 16 CON 15 INT 10 WIS 13 Current challenge Mordor: Hobbiton -> Rivendell (238/458 miles) Water advice Join the Circus!

18ck Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 The both-feet-off-the-ground shot is always the best thing in race photography.

SaltyDragon Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Excellent! Glad to see you had fun in the race. Hey, at least your job keeps you moving on your feet – which sure beats sitting at a desk all day! 1 Quote Level 11 Sea Dragon | Current Challenge: | | Nov '16 | Sept/Oct '16 | Aug/Sep '16 | July/Aug '16 | June/July '16 | May '16 | | Apr '16 | Mar '16 | Feb '16 | Jan '16 | Nov/Dec '15 | Link to comment
