Spartan Race started a new campaign recently asking folks to share their story. Everyone has a story as to why they race. Below is my reason. I race for many reasons. I race to keep myself motivated in my fitness journey. I race to be a good role model for my kiddos. I race to push myself beyond my comfort zone. I race for those who can’t. I race to prove that I can. I race because it’s fun. But, mostly to be stronger than I was before.
I’ve never been athletic. Running was not something I did for fun. Running wasn’t something I did. Period. Finding this new passion in running and obstacle course racing has been an amazing addition to my life! It’s woken up a spark in me to be stronger, healthier, and better than I was before.
What’s your story? Why do you race? Share your story HERE!
It's a Messy Life 
I race because it empowers me. It empowers me into doing things I never thought possible. I NEVER thought I’d be a marathoner. It truly is amazing what we are capable of when we step out of our comfort zone!

Truly inspiring, Shannon! I have yet to run a full 26.2 but I think I will be stepping out of my comfort zone and go for it in 2016!!! Thanks 🙂

Love it!! I race because I love the feeling of accomplishment I get when I cross that finish line. I also love the training and working towards a goal. Racing keeps me motivated!
