Why you ask?? Well, my lovely husband Jason just signed him and I up for the Living History Farms race. It's held down in Des Moines, the weekend before Thanksgiving. If you have never heard of this before it is a 7 mile foot race over hills, up steep slopes, through creeks, and over round bales...Jason and I have done it once before, a few months after we met, and it was hard...really hard. I hadn't really trained for it back then, but this time around I have been running and working up my endurance. I have been in the gym getting miles in and building up my endurance. I feel sooo much more prepared for this race, but 7 miles still freaks me out!
This year Jason's brother Adam, and his fiancee Bridget are running it with us, so we are in for a good time! :) Also, there are usually 7,500 people running this beside you...that's not an exaggerartion either, they cap it at that amount. CRAZZZYYYY!!!!
People dress up in crazy costumes, I don't think we will be partaking in this part of it, but you never know!
I remember this creek...it's the one my husband pushed me into the first time I ran this race!!
Oh man...what have I gotten myself into??
