Now that I am registered for the race on Oct. 16, I am excited and motivated. Training has been going well, with only a few days off for a minor ankle injury after a long run. We have built up to 13-mile long runs once a week, and do a fast run every Monday with a local running group. I have been doing arm workouts with my pole dancing classes, which have become increasingly intense as I continue to the higher levels. I do need to do some more monkey bars practice and ab workouts, as well as practice arm strengthening exercises on my off days from dance.
