Spartan Race/Surf City 1/2 Marathon

Hey everyone! Its been a while since we posted a blog. June was our last update but we are back with lots to talk about. Its funny how 6 months can bring so much change in all of our lives. What happens in one day can change an outlook, priorities or even behaviors. Such is true for Lila and I. Its November and Lila and I have made choices in our lives that changed the lifestyle we live. We committed to healthier more active lifestyle and now is the time where we would like to see some payoff from that.
Back in June there was a post about the Spartan Race. This year its being held in Malibu, CA and is a 3+ mile obstacle race containing 15 obstacles with intentions on challenge every part of you mental and physical capabilities. Well, its here. I've lost close to 30 lbs and a week from Sunday I'll be participating and I have to tell you I'm really excited. I've been doing my best to work out as much as I can to prepare for something I really don't know about. It's not like they have a map of what the race is going to be like. In fact they pride themselves on you not know what is going to be expected of you until you finish. Literally, its their slogan. For more information or to do a Spartan race on your own you can visit Spartan Race Pics,Videos,Info  I'm not the only one in training. Lila and I also have decided to register for the Surf City 1/2 Marathon in February. This bad boy will take every ounce of our will to get through 13.1 miles down the coast of Huntington Beach. The plan is to do Surf city and hopefully complete the remaining beach cities 1/2 Marathons and receive our Beach cities 1/2 Marathon medals. We have team from my work which we'll be competing with but anyone can join the fun. Let us know if you want to particiapate too! Surf City Marathon Info We'll need your support from our friends and family to get through these things we can't do it alone! Thanks for reading see you next post.
