This is Sparta!!!
As some of you know, a few of us are participating in the Spartan Beast this Saturday, December 8 (Ray, Travis, Lindsey – Travis’ girlfriend, Brett – one of our clients, and myself). The Spartan Beast is a 13 mile mud run with about 25 obstacles. I know what you are thinking!! Why on earth would anyone put themselves through that???!! While everyone has their own particular reasons for entering, I think it’s safe to say that we all just want to see what we can accomplish. We all love working out and seeing our progress from workout to workout but sometimes it’s fun to mix it up and step out of our comfort zone and really put those workouts to the test. Can we scale a wall? Can we traverse a horizontal rope? Can we throw a spear at a target? Can we walk across a narrow beam without falling?
We won’t know the answers to these questions until we try!! Some of you might be thinking that you don’t want to know or don’t care to know the answers but where’s the fun in that? How AWESOME does it feel when you can FINALLY do pushups on your feet? Or can bench more than you weigh? Or that funky balancing exercise your trainer has you do without falling? Imagine that feeling of accomplishment multiplied by like 50!! There is NOTHING like it!!
Tonight we will be driving down to Glen Rose and camping out before our big race. I will be posting fun pictures of us starting tonight so follow us on Facebook and wish us luck!!!
