Spartan Sprint

This past weekend I ran a Spartan Sprint with a couple friends. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is 3+ miles (ours was a little over 5 miles) and has obstacles along the way. Look it up, its pretty awesome :)

It kicked my ass though! I had so much fun, but man, the constant uphill of the mountain terrain was HARD. There is going to be another one next year and I can't wait to sign up for it! Here we are before, just aobut to the finish line, and after the race.

About a mile or so in, one of the obstacles was monkey bars. I was about 4 bars away from the end and my hand slipped and I fell on my foot, but it went backwards. I knew I hurt it, becuase it hurt, and I felt it swell in my shoe. Despite my foot throbbing with every rock I stepped on, I finished the race. By that night, I couldn't walk on it. I went to the orthopedic urgent care on Monday and they said it wasn't broken but I sprained the top of my foot and did some tissue damage. Soooo, I'm in a really sleek, sexy boot for 2 weeks. Pumpkin loves it.

I am pretty proud of myself for doing it. I always have wanted to, and talk about it, but never actually do. And now I can't wait for the next one!

Have you ever done something like this? Or something that you have always talked about?
