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 to prove to myself that I can do it! At the weight I was previously at, before losing, I wasn’t even able to walk for most of the day- let alone run. I would want to do it to prove to myself that I’m capable and stronger than I think!
I have grown in the last year and a half to love fitness, and the journey, and it all started with one little 5k a friend got my to do last minute! Now I am challenging myself to push my boundaries, and the spartan race would be an opportunity to push myself that much further, and that would be an amazing experience!
This would be pretty cool to win
Help me overcome my fear of the ocean in a fun way!
I want to complete a spartan so that I can push myself physically!
This is such a cool opportunity! I have always wanted to try a Spartan Race.
I would love to participate in a Spartan Race because once I do the sprint I plan on doing a super and a beast in the same year so I can get the Trifecta!
I have seen so many photos filling the news feed of my facebook with people doing these races and always wanted to be them. The trouble is they all cost $$ and being a young woman who just got married, had her first child, bought a house and a new car these events just don’t fit in the budget! I would love to compete and prove to myself I can do it and fill up other peoples news feed with my spartan face!! Please consider me!
I need something to work towards! Some major incentive to push myself, to REALLY WORK!!!
Spartan Race is on my short list of must do races!
I have been working hard to loose weight! My goal for the year was to complete 4 5Ks. I have done 2 so far. I love working towards my new passions and getting healthy along the way! I would love to be picked for this race!
