Death Race Training 2011

I didn't have a lot of time yesterday as I had a meeting at the school, so I had to hurry up my workout at the gym.  But I was incredibly inspired by Yesels recent enthusiasm with her workouts, and also spoke to one of the most inspirational people, Carrie Adams.  She is writing a few articles on people doing the Death Race and we did a phone interview.  As an incredible athlete herself, future death racer 2012, and Spartan promoter she had some great insight.  But its the network of people you meet doing these things that I love.  Anyone who attempts to challenge themselves to this level is usually pretty motivated in life.  I find the other racers to be some of the most adventurous, motivated people I have ever come across.  The comradely of the participants is amazing.  Carrie really had me motivated to push on and even gear up for my next event, whatever that will be. 

Sharing this journey with people in my life that i care about has also been inspirational.  I am so lucky to have friends and family and also to meet people along the way who make this all such a once in a lifetime opportunity.  I feel very blessed and motivated....

I have to admit it was motivating when a guy at the gym told me he wanted to buy my energy.  We spoke about what I am doing.  And he said I look very noticeably different.  He said I look shredded....that was nice for my ego to hear...
