Taryn and Dan have officially signed up for the race! Yesterday Taryn joined Sarah and me for a C25K training at the track. Welcome!
The next Spartan Team activity will be Saturday, March 11. Please check your calendars! Cody and Chris will be planning a family event. Swimming has been mentioned...
We haven't chosen a date in April yet, but Sybil and Chris will be planning something for adults only then. A trail run has been suggested. Bagby? The falls trail in the Gorge? Get ready!
Trail running shoes are recommended for the Spartan Race, and make a big difference! The Merrell outlet in Woodburn is having a pretty incredible sale right now, if you like minimal shoes. (I personally need a lot more support and cushion for my flat feet.) Specifically, about 50% of regular price, which means quite a few trail shoes in the $50-$65 range. If that doesn't work for you, there are a few other shoe stores there, although my best success has been ordering a few pairs from Runner's Warehouse or RoadRunner Sports to try around the house and on the treadmill, then sending back all but my favorites.

To do is to dare; to fear is to fail.
