Spartan Training

For those of you who don't know, I am training for a 13 mile Spartan Race. I did one last summer, an 8 mile one, on a whim. I found out about it 3 weeks before and just did it with no pre-training or anything. For this race though, I've been signed up since December and I am ready to Beast it!!! After all, it is called the Spartan Beast, right? Well ever since I started doing crossfit, my running went from 30 miles a week down to like 10-15. I just didn't have time/ the energy. So now I've been trying to incorporate my interval training with crossfit so I don't have to do a separate workout for that. Fridays WOD was perfect for that.

Before hand, to prepare myself mentally I told myself "Julia, you're mind always tells you when to rest, when to stop, when to breath and when to get some water, I want you to not listen to your mind and push your body to its limits". So I did! I don't know if its even a good time, but I got 28:20 and I was only 8 seconds behind my friend Scott who finished first. It was one of those "sucked so good" workouts, but it was also incredibly fun. But what about crossfit isn't fun? WARNING, crossfit= addictive.
