A little over two months...

I added a countdown timer at the bottom of the page here - you should scroll down and check it out!

Wow, the time is FLYING by! We now have a little over two months left before the run. Did you order your shirt yet? Decide on shorts? Do you have any questions? Feel free to ask here in the comments or e-mail me at trainer.nichole@gmail.com

I know you can....but do you?

Hello team! If you're feeling a little apprehension, then congratulations! Yes, you read that right. That little bit of apprehension is normal. It means that you are getting out of your comfort zone, you are doing something you haven't done before. I bet if you think back on your previous accomplishments, you will remember having that little bit of apprehension at some point before your success. You can do this!

I recommend checking out the blog on the DirtyGirl website HERE - there are some great stories from women who did the race this year. After reading those, now I really can't wait until 8/4!

Teamwear Store!

Hi team! Julie set up a cafe press store here for us to order whatever we would like to wear for the race. Thank you Julie! The store is great!

 Feel free to order whatever style and color you like best. A lot of our team has said they want to go with a tank top for the race and some teammates are planning on getting an extra shirt for after the race. I want to get a tank and a hat to wear when I'm training! What are you going to order?

Don't forget our sideline support and photographers - they are part of the team too!

Training Plan

Alright team, I've got a training plan prepared! E-mail me at trainer.nichole@gmail.com if you would like to participate.

Ideas for Team-Wear

Ok ladies, we need to figure out what we want to wear for the race. Many thanks to our talented teammate Julie who made up the design below to give us a place to start from.

What do you think? Tank? Tee? Something else entirely?

Pretty Muddy Stuff?!?

I was checking out the dirty girl website and they have put up 11 obstacles. Feel free to go to the site and check it out, but I also have them listed below:

1 H2OMG water pit

2 THE HANGOVER Hanging Tires

3 BARN BURNER Hay Bale Climb

4 LOOP DE LOOP Tire Weave

5 TIRE PUMP Tire High Step

6 JUST GET OVER IT Wall Climb

7 UTOPIAN TUBES Tunnel Crawl

8 GET A GRIP Cargo Net

9 ONE UGLY MUDDER Mud Hill Scale and Decent

10 JAIL BREAK Fence Jump

11 PMS (Pretty Muddy Stuff) Mud Crawl

Which do you think will be your favorite? Which do you think will be the hardest?

12 weeks to go!

There are 87 days until the Dirty Girl Mud Run. That is a little over 12 weeks to train and be ready to run and get over, under, or through obstacles. 87 days are definitely enough, and all of my teammates are more than capable of doing this - but my question to my teammates is this: What are the goals you have for yourself before you will feel ready for the race? Comment or e-mail me please :)
