Are you a Warrior?

DEFINITION OF A WARRIOR:
"A person who shows or has shown great vigor,
courage, or aggressiveness, as in politics or athletics."



It's official. For my 29th birthday I will be participating in this...


It's probably gonna be one of the craziest frickin' days in my life and I am totally excited for it! I will be doing it with some friends of mine and to be totally honest with you, I am really only doing it because I want the warrior helmet that they give you.
 I think it's just great and I cannot wait to take pictures in it. Look for yourselves...you get all this when you register to sign up. EEK!



Now one may ask,
"How does one train for Warrior Dash?"
Answer:

  1. Day one: run as far as you can. Go home.
  2. Day two: do the same thing.
  3. Find the dirtiest pond in your neighborhood and snorkel in it - in your slippers, without goggles.
  4. Practice your climbing and crawling skills at your local jungle gym. Ignore the small children and parental glares.
  5. Do not shower or shave for weeks in order to obtain a true Warrior look. {This could be interesting. My mustache may come in pretty thick and my husband may get jealous, LOL}
Seriously though, your best bet is to do plenty of running leading up to the race.


And so I have started. I have begun my training for Warrior Dash Arizona 2011. I am starting off slow since this is the first time I have gotten back to working out since I have had Jaycee, but I am determind to do this. I want to be able to complete all of the 3.4 hellish miles & obstacles, but most importantly I want to have fun. If I am unable to do an obstacle I am not going to stress it and just go with it. With everyone that is doing it I am sure we will all have a blast.




So now you tell me.....
