Barely There Footwear

I remember when the barely there footwear started catching on and I thought it was weird! I didn't understand how someone could run on pavement with a shoe that looked like a sock. It funny how trends work...something starts off large or clunky and then gradually gets smaller and then it gets larger again. Think about cell phones. They started huge and then turned super tiny and now they are getting larger. Well I think that's how shoes go as well. 

Be a Superhero

Today I bring to you the Superhero Scramble, one of many obstacle course runs (OCR). I participated in the Miami event and let me tell you: It. Was. Awesome!! So awesome I'm doing multiple OCRs this year. I have been wanting to do one of these types of runs for sometime now, but haven't been able to find anyone to do it with. I think it intimidates everyone and these events can be super pricey! I ended up find a crazy good coupon on Swaggle.com (now Gearup.active.com) for only $35.

So this course was 6 miles of wicked terrain with 20+ obstacles. Now don't let the mileage discourage you. I went with my boyfriend and friend and they rarely, if ever, workout and they both completed it with no problem. The obstacles were a perfect mixture of some easy, like crawling under caution tape, to challenging, like rock wall climbing and a rope pull up a 90 degree wall, to difficult, like rope climb to ring a cowbell. The last one named, I just wasn't strong enough to do!
