Bring On The Battle

    A few weeks ago I was contacted by a member of the BattleFrog Race Series and asked if I would be interested in running as a member of the BattleFrog team.  I never heard of this race so I was very intrigued.  After going to the website BattleFrog Pittsburgh and checking everything out, I was sold.  I have never done an obstacle race before and this one is designed by the Navy Seals.
  Yesterday I received an email from them again confirming my code for free entry and I will also be getting a media pass for parking.  I am very excited to be doing this race, but I am super nervous.  The race is Saturday Sept. 27th, which does not give me a lot of time to train.  Luckily I am in my marathon training so the 9 mile run wont be too much trouble.  I have decided to add another day of cross training into my marathon training in hopes of helping me out.  The marathon is the most important race for me right now.  Even if I don't get my BQ I have something I need to prove to myself.  This race however will be a challenge and when it comes to running I don't shy away from a challenge, so 9 miles and 25 obstacles....bring it on!!!!
   I will be sharing my progress on my training like I do for my marathon on Sundays.  One downfall of this race is it is the day before the Great Race, so I will probably end up selling my entry for that.  So if you know anyone looking for an entry to the 10K let me know.  

  Have you ever done an obstacle race?  If so do you have any tips you would like to share with me?
