Today, I signed up for the Warrior Dash in Tennessee in September.
And then I convinced two of my best friends to sign up too.
So we (and a few other friends) are going to conquer that thing in September.
No matter that I haven’t run much since January. I’ve got three months and a strong desire to do it.
I’m completely terrified and excited at the same time. I’ve heard they are really, really fun as well as hard so I’m excited about it. I wanted a goal besides just the wedding and now I have one.
If anyone else wants to join us for the race feel free. I’d love to see some of you!
Have any of you done a Warrior Dash before? Did you like it?
Hey I havent done this (though it seems prettttty cool) But a Blog that I read just wrote about it today!!! Here is the link. I hope she can give ya some good feedback :)

So cool! Thanks for the link! :)
So, so fun! I did it this year and will do it again next year. I’ve also done a 4 mile Mud Run and 6 mile Mud Run – but they had fewer obstacles. Thus far, the Warrior Dash has had the best obstacles and the best (and deepest!) mud pit! I’m also looking to do the Spartan and the Tough Mudder this year or next! Obstacles make runs so much better!
Haha, I think runs without obstacles sound boring. If I’m gonna do a race it needs to keep me entertained!
I am doing one in July! I am so excited and I know it will be so much fun!!
Sweet! Let me know how you do! Send me a link when you write about it. :)
Oh, you are BRAVE! I’ll be cheering you on!
I’ve been hearing a lot about these lately – they sound like so much fun, but climbing over cargo nets reactivates a bit of my childhood gym class anxiety. I love running races, but my upper body strength isn’t great – I think this kind of event is a long-term goal for me!
(It’s funny, the fire isn’t what scares me, it’s the cargo nets. *sigh* haha)
Haha. I totally understand that. It’s not always the obvious things that are the most scary. Having this as a long term goal is a great idea!
Good for you Mary! Can’t wait to hopefully see pics!
Hey, if nothing else, it will be fun Mary – just enjoy it & the fun with others!!!
Can’t wait to hear about it! I’ve never done one, but most of my friends have. This is the one with the fire, right? I’ve always been too worried about getting hurt or something, but I think I’ll suck it up and try it sometime in the next year or so. Def will wait for your review before I commit to anything!
It is the one with the fire! I think it will be fine though. You just hop over so I doubt I’ll catch on fire. I’ll definitely let ya know how it goes!
OMG I have wanted to do one of these forever!!!! It just sounded like soooo much fun!!!!! Cannot wait to hear all about it! I really should re look into a local one. My guy is a runner so it would be something we could enjoy together. Good luck!
Hmm interesting. I’ll admit it, I’d hate getting all muddy. That thing seems like more fun than a regular race though. Good luck!
Wow! The pics look awesome! I’m going to have to see if I can find something similar close to me :)
A few friends of mine have done Warrior Dashes and had a blast! Michelle over at The Running Jewess also did one recently. Looks like fun to me!
