You've Been Invited to the Spartan Race in Chandler Arizona!

Ok, a friend asked me to do the Spartan Race in Chandler Arizona with her in February. Really? Now my first thought was, what is a Spartan Race in Chandler Arizona. So I looked it up, mistake! I think that she's thinking I work out EVERYDAY, not, and am in the best shape of my life, not. It's 8 miles of pure torture. She laughs and says "don't let the music scare you" my thought was that it's not the music it's the Spartan Race in Chandler Arizona that has my head spinning and wondering if this was a joke. I think I'll say yes just to see what SHE SAYS! Personally I'm not sure if I can get up 5 days a week, drive 25 minutes to do 1 hour of cardo for the 8 mile run and another hour of strength training then drive back another 25 minutes, get the kids up for school and really start my day! I want to BUT. I'll have to really give that some thought. Thanks for the invite Traci, I'll let you know about that Spartan Race in Chandler Arizona! 

So what really has been happening is I moved out of town a bit, 15-20 miles out, and there is no gym here. Gave up my gym membership to save money since it was so far. So I walk MAYBE once a week. Terrible, I know. I do NO strength training and I have arms to prove it. I keep saying when I move back into to town I will get back in shape. Everyone has an excuse and even thou mine sounds good it's still an excuse. Truth is I'm no different than the next guy or gal that WANTS to get back in shape but can't seem to get motivated. Maybe this is just what I need. Surely there is a way to make it happen. I'm going to think about this. Even thou the Spartan Race in Chandler Arizona seems tough and no doubt it is, we can do anything we set our minds to. Oops, did I just commit myself here? Either way it has motivated me to move forward and once again stop making excuses. Stay tuned to find out the answer, am I running the race or not. I'm thinking!
