are you spartan strong? a spartan race giveaway – CLOSED

January 10, 2015      28 Comments

One of the fun things about a new year, at least for me, is the perception of a clean slate. There are more than 350 days stretching open in front of me, just waiting to be filled. What I do with them is pretty much up to me, and it’s a pretty heady feeling.

Especially when you can try something new.

Well, the great minds behind the Spartan Race series feel the same way.

 

The new year is bringing a lot of fun additions to the famous Reebok Spartan Race series.

The 2015 Spartan Annual Pass is now available! One annual fee entitles pass holders to unlimited races across the United States, VIP Access to all US Spartan races, Annual Global Rescue Membership, special travel discounts, and free bag check at events. Click here to get started on your journey, taking on Spartan races across the country.

 

The 2015 Spartan World Championship has a new location: Lake Tahoe!

worldchamp

In October of 2015, the world’s best athletes will go head to head in Squaw Valley, host to the 1960 Olympic Games, for the chance to dominate and become the Spartan Race World Champion. Only 300 men and 300 women will qualify for the Elite Spartan World Championship Beast. Do you have what it takes to be one of them?

 

A great way to keep up with the latest and greatest from the Spartan Race world is to tune in to the new “Spartan UP!” podcast, hosted by founder & CEO of Spartan Race and NYT Bestselling author Joe Desena. Desena will travel the world, interviewing some of the most influential CEOs, authors, academics and thought leaders in search of the secrets of success in all aspects of life.

Click here for information on how to subscribe to the “Spartan UP!” Podcast.

 

And last, but certainly not least, Spartan Race will launch the first Spartan Cruise!

Don'tMiss_Cruise_1200x1200

Your adventure takes place March 6-9, sailing from the Port of Miami to the private island of Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas. A beautiful Caribbean course full of obstacles, cash prizes, free Spartan activities and plenty of time for fun in the sun with family and friends await you on this amazing journey. Book the cabin for your three day adventure by visiting The Spartan Cruise.

 

It’s going to be a big year.

I have yet to try my hand (or feet) at an obstacle course race, but the idea becomes more and more appealing as I get more comfortable as a runner. The more I learn about the Spartan Race series, the more intrigued I become.

Have you ever run a Spartan Race or would you be interested in trying one? Spartan Race is giving away one free entry to any open heat (non-confirmed start time) in any Spartan Race in the continental US. Are you up for the challenge? Enter below for your chance to win! All you have to do is leave a comment telling me which location and distance of the Spartan Races you would most like to try.

Are you ready?

    I’m doing my first event in March. I was sick for my first event last year so it didn’t happen. But I’m planning on not getting sick this time.

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

#Running #streakingwiththecoolkids
Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
