Thanks to my wonderful friend Eileen, I have accepted a challenge that I might have just bit off more than I can chew. So as part of my 2012 list I had wished to enter a race. I've always wanted to do the Mud Run. Heard great things about it and was just a lot of fun. So after a little research I decided that id try and take on my competitive side and sign up. I also thought that it would be cool to do this with a buddy, this way I couldn't back out. Hence my guru fitness friend Eileen was the person that would be a great partner. Well after pitching the Race and my new year's bucket list, she was not quite sure about entering the race......and being the motivating and supportive friend decided to raise the stakes and make it interesting. She agreed to do the race with me, as long as we could have a cute mini team uniform......consisting of a sports bra and short shorts. Now in a race like this it would be a good idea especially after jumping through water, crawling through mud, it would avoid any dragage. But as for running through this naked, I am noooooo where near being in public in something like that. But after talking through it and considering my goals, I realized why I wasn't considering it, I was saying " I can't be in that kind of shape in less than 6 months !". And that's when I accepted the challenge. I was going to attempting what I've always thought the impossible.
So hence begins my training ( well more like started it last week) and I'll be updating my progress! Let's wish me no injuries and achieving this sooner than later. Here's to the spartan challenge!!
Here's the site so you get an idea of what it is.....
