courtniemarie spartans up

[CourtnieMarie]

 

that is how i prefer to enjoy a spartan sprint OCR. with naked friends.

 

i took about 5 days off everything and am ready to jump headfirst into zero week in order to start preparing for the spartan on june 17th. 24 days. totally enough time to prep.

 

GOAL 1: need to maintain (or perchance lose some?!) weight to be able to handle the BW work. stay within 2000cals per day or 14,000 cals per week

 

GOAL 2: i love lifting. lifting is the best. lift 2x per week

 

GOAL 3: going to be doing spartan workouts 5x per week from the couch to spartan sprint program

 

GOAL 4: get that conditioning burning. burpees 3x per week: start at 15 per session for the first 2 weeks. 20 per session last two weeks

 

GOAL 5: don't get twisted. yoga 60m per week

 

similar stuff as before. i think my summer challenges get repetitive because i have so many short vacas that throw a wrench into things like calorie counting. so i keep needing to have the same goals, which is fine! just repetitive. don't give up on me yet, folks!

 

 

life things to keep in mind

5/28 & 5/29 – Boston Calling and Memorial Day

6/4 – Mom’s bday

6/10 – Vag Mons performance

6/17 – Spartan

6/24 thru 6/26 – Provincetown vaca

tryin' to be! haha i'm moving from a 5 workout/week plan to a 7 workout/week goal. i think it'll be okay because the couch to spartan sprint program will be easy for me in the beginning. plus most of the WODs incorporate yoga which i'm counting towards my 60m of yoga/week goal. BOOM!

uhh, of course! i bet there's a ton of places near where the spartan is... although, is that something we'll want to do right after the race? hahaha i feel like i will just want to drink and eat.

 

was this just an epiphany of strawberry fever that struck your brain?

[raptron]

I HAVE THE NEED...  THE NEED FOR SEED? No, wait that sounds like a weird breeder manifesto or just like an awkward porno title.

 

BUT yes, I have strawberry fever.

GOAL 3: going to be doing spartan workouts 5x per week from the couch to spartan sprint program

 

 

I feel like there is a market out there to sell a "Spartan TO couch" program... I have a feeling it would be a best seller.

[Deciduous]

YAY! I'd been watching for you (creepy???)

 

Goals look awesome

 

I love repetition, you're habit building at your finest.
