We’ve signed up for a Spartan Death Race. The team is all family and I must say, we will come in strong. It’s 8 miles and 20 obstacles such as javelin throws, leaping over fire, and fighting in the mud. My brother Ryan is the veteran.
And Frankie is gonna bring the ferocity.
(He’s this weird guy I met in the park one time.)
Ryan and Frankie are the heavyweights.
But the team also has some reliable welterweights. That would be Dustin and me.
And in the ladies division, we have the mother/ daughter connection. Rebekah and Ashley.
And also the Ashley Walkers.
Cortney is undecided at the moment. She might be an alternate, or the Spartan cheerleader.
To the thousands of opponents in Leesburg: You can’t beat blood with mud.
We’re gonna git ya.
Somebody’s gonna call your number.
And you best git out the way.
Team trainer Tuck says so.

I know….My prayers were, I think in this order….oh mercy, oh my, oh Lord, and OMG…really? as the realization of what I’ve signed up for sank in. I have friends who ran the Primal Mud Run, were beat up/tore up and said it was SO hard…..this is WAY harder. Lord, Help me, cuz I could die.
