Mother Freakin' Training

I started 'Training' this week.  Training includes lots of exercise, good/whole foods (but at a limited caloric intake), very very little alcohol, and limited caffeine.  Why am I doing all this? 

It's to run the Ragnar Relay:
Teams of 12 running along the world-famous Mississippi River as we rock out, enjoy the wacky participant costumes [note to self: add polish my tiara to my to-do list] , and make life-long friends with teammates and competitors. The party runs along the Great River Road starting in Winona, MN cutting into Wisconsin and ending in Minneapolis, MN.

And I think it sounds like a mother freaking kick ass thing to do!
