I may have lost my mind.

Yep, it might actually be official. 

As many of you may know, I have started on my journey to be in this year's Spartan Race. This is not just the "normal" obstacle course laden 5K. The folks who run these take it pretty serious. To that end, I have started my own training program. The good people of the Spartan Race know that it is tough, so they offer to send you a WOD (workout of the day) as well as offer up a variety of 30 Day Challenges. (Currently it is a nice "easy" mile a day run.

Next month, I will be getting a chance to see just what I am facing and how far I have to go in order to be ready. I will be attending an official Spartan Race workout. "What is that?" you may be asking. Well...I just happen to have a little snippet of video to share:



So there it is. If you have been wondering just what it is that I have gotten myself in to...there you have it. Feel free to comment.

    1. Thanks Jamie...I have to say, I am feeling a bit of trepidation. My 20s are long past. But I am still very excited.

    1. I don't know about a tape recorder, but I am looking in to one of those water proof video camera devices to strap on when the run comes around...and no worries about the DEAD series...these little adventures just help clear my mind so I can write better.
