Spartan Race!

So my husband decided to do a Spartan Race. What is a Spartan Race you ask? It is similar to a Mud Run or Muddy Buddy but on Steroids. Seriously, these people are crazy. I just want to give a huge shout out to my sweetie for not only committing to the training but doing and finishing the race. I know it isn't manly to complain, however, he was beat up, bruised, and bloodied. I couldn't hug him for a week. I give him props for going to our fundraising gala only a few hours after the race. He smiled, charmed people and even danced a bit.

These races, while intense, bring lots of self pride and team work to the table. He worked with a group of guys he had only recently met and became fast friends. That is what happens when you are helping people under barbed wire, walking thru fire, and throwing javelins at targets. While it was the hardest thing he has done (next to the Chicago Marathon) he assured me it was a "one and done" event. Now, a week later, he is considering doing it again. I guess it is kinda like child birth. The joy out shines the pain.

Good Luck next year, honey!
