This Instagram post triggered me…

Over the last couple weeks, one of my friends on Instagram has been sharing a lot more of her training and she was always hashtagging #SpartanBeast.

I kept seeing her posts pop up.

Maybe the IG algorithm was trying to tell me something 

I messaged the friend and she told me she registered for the Spartan Beast race later in the year and that she had never done one before.

Then she said, why don’t you do it too?

I thought about it, I looked up the date, and I registered.

I love these races and it’s been many years since I did my last one.

There is just something about them that gets me energized & excited.

By committing, it now sets the wheels in motion. I needed to start training.

These are not the type of races where you can just show up do a quick run and you are done.

The race is called a Beast for a reason.  21 kms up and down mountains, climbing through mud & water Oh, and also, there are 30 crazy obstacles.
