Trust me, I completely get it… you’ve had a long day, work was draining, you’re exhausted and the last thing you want to do is work out. Some days it?s nearly impossible to muster up the energy to get yourself moving again after spending your entire day running around and answering to everyone else’s needs?even IF you promised yourself you would get that workout in after the kids went to bed.
Unfortunately, with so much busy-ness in our lives, it?s far too easy to break promises and cancel plans with the most important person in the world: Ourselves.
So how do we remedy this and get ourselves on track? With?drumroll?.an accountabilibuddy! ?A what-a-bili-buddy,? you ask?? You heard me right ? an accountabilibuddy?a fun little term the fitness community has used for years. An accountabilibuddy is a buddy that holds you accountable. It?s as simple as that.
When you have someone else counting on you wake up early to work out and be there to push them, you?re MUCH more likely to get the job done?AND to have fun doing it! Let?s face it ? everything is more fun with a friend.
One of Chris? and my absolute favorite ways to get our exercise in and have fun at the same time is by participating in local weekend events. Competitions, 5Ks, 10Ks, and obstacle course races (with every theme and cause imaginable) are popping up all across the nation, making it so easy to find a fun event to participate in with a friend or group of friends! While we love them all, some of our favorites are the Spartan Races. SUCH a blast! Who doesn?t want to channel their inner-beast by jumping over fire, scaling walls, running through mud, crawling under barbed wire ? all while running uphill in some gnarly?terrain? The adrenaline rush is unreal, and the sense of accomplishment after is even better.
Well, get this. Spartan has just announced their very own Spartan Cruise , featuring a Private Island Race! An opportunity for you and your accountabilibuddy to explore the Caribbean AND get your Spartan on. You can even bring the kiddos along!
Best part is next: Spartan is giving away a trip for TWO (cruise + airfare for you and your accountabilibuddy) on their March 2015 Caribbean cruise. Click here for details on how you can win!
In the meantime – while we wait for the cruise to set sail – I?m giving away one free entrance to a Spartan Race near you! Using the Rafflecopter below, leave a comment telling me why you want to compete in a Spartan Race and a lucky winner will be randomly selected and announced Thursday, August 28th.
Xoxo,
Heidi

I would love to do a spartan race with my hubby! We have been running 5k’s for a few months and are now training for a 10k soon and a half marathon in May! Would love go do the obstacles in the spartan race and it would be great training for the rest of our plans!
I want to prove to myself most importantly and everyone who doubts me thay I can finish a SpartanRace!
Because I’m getting back into running and would love nothing more than to win this entry! How much fun it would be! 🙂
Heidi, thanks for always posting such inspirational information. And I absolutely LOVE your recipes 🙂 My husband and I would have the BEST time doing this race together. Thanks for the opportunity!
Ain’t gonna lie….I want to do a spartan race cause I always think the pictures of the racers on the obstacles look BAD-A!!
This Momma needs to get her bad-A self back in action!!!
Woo-hoo! That would be so much fun! I just seriously gotten into running and a Spartan Race would be a great milestone!
I’ve recently made the choice to better my life through eating and pushing myself to do exercises I never imagined I could. I joined a boot camp program with other women, and it’s really been an empowering life change. I also created a 30 things to do before I’m 30 bucket list, and doing a race is one of them. What better way to prove to myself how much I can accomplish than doing this race, and in some place so fun!
I always LOVE a new challenge!!! My husband and I love staying active together and this would be such a fun get away!!!!
I would love to have this challenge as a fitness goal I can set for myself. It would be a great way to motivate my exercise regimen until the race and a way to measure my strength and assess my fitness level during the race.
I would absolutely love to win! I have ran the super back in May and have signed up for the Beast this November. My goal once conquering the Beast is to run in an elite flight. I have been constantly training for the Beast and my mind is always thinking about it! I love watching their videos and doing their WODs. I am even attending their free Spartan Workout this September in Dallas Texas. I’ve got Spartan on the BRAIN almost at all times! I would love to get a free ticket ticket because the entry fees are killing me! Thank you Chris and Heidi for the opportunity!
