Owning My Strong

I think everyone knows by now that I love a good challenge, that I enjoy running, being active and pushing myself to the limits to see if I can do it.  I have fun doing that.

So, when a friend posted on Facebook about the Muddarella run/challenge, it got me thinking.  It looked like a lot of fun.  It involved running, mud, obstacles and teamwork.  They stress that this is not a race, but a challenge where you can own your strong while having fun and teaming up with others to reach your goals.  Who wouldn't love all that?!

You can check out the details here  This is not one of those fun runs where you can just sign up and go and get it done.  They suggest training for this challenge as there are physical challenges, heck, you have to run about six miles to do the challenge!!  I love that their site even has a legit training plan and you can follow it to prepare for your big day! 

The obstacles look fun and I can see how having your friends by your side would make it that much more fun.  I will be doing it with a group of ladies from the gym and I couldn't be more excited.

I really like looking at the obstacles and trying to figure out just how much I might struggle with them.

The local one that I am doing is in September so I have some time to make sure that I am physically ready for it.

I am hoping to have even more friends sign up to do it too.

I will leave you with more awesome that the creators of Muddarella are featuring, stories of strength as women share their stories of how they own their strong.

Stepping It Up and Having Fun!



I am so excited and thrilled to get involved in a running event that is like none other!  It is full of fun, mud, slides, obstacles and FOAM!  It is called FoamFest 5K and I am so looking forward to this event!!  It is right up my ally.  I love running, I love mud and who in the world wouldn't want to act like a kid and go through fun obstacles with foam?! 

There are a bunch of fun obstacles at the events that are located all across the country.  You can check out the obstacles here. I have looked at every single one of them and I get more excited each time I see a picture of them!

I can't wait to get a photo looking like this:

 

 

I have been running pretty consistently since the fall but I have no idea how exactly to train for this event. I mean, how do you train for going down a huge inflatable slide, trudging through a huge mud pit or running across the water on rafts?!  It sounds hard but at the same time, it sounds insanely fun! 

 

We are getting a team together to do this event and it is going to be beyond what any of us are imagining, I am sure of it. 

 

Again, this event is going on all over the country so you can check out if there is a location near you here.  I am doing the Pittsburgh, PA event on June 15th so I have plenty of time to hear about the other locations and train the best I can.  If you would like to join me, please let me know because we are welcoming team members for this epic event!

 

If you would like to start your own team for your local event, there is a great perk to being on a team!  Any team with 5 or more members, will receive a $10 coupon to the merchandise store!
