The journey just got epic.

Well it seems my journey to Sparta got way more intense. I applied for the first marathon distance Spartan Race, the Ultra Beast. 26.2 miles of unsupported mountain side obstacle goodness in Killington, Vermont. Well to my surprise I got this in my email yesterday.

Congratulations, your Spartan Ultra Beast application has been reviewed and you are being invited to register for the World’s First Marathon Distance Obstacle race to take place on September 22, 2012.  You are a part of obstacle racing history.  There is NO other event of this type anywhere in the world.  The field will be limited to a small, extreme group of athletes and you are part of a select few invited to take part.
 I am so excited! Well I was until I looked up the fees. I applied for this thing and though I'll worry about fees when the time comes. Well it's that time. And this is where you come in. I dont feel comfortable requesting donations but this means so much to me. So i've put up a lovely widget to the right here of what you are reading. 300$ will cover my registration fee and gas money. I'm planning on camping there to save some money. I am also trying to yard sale some of my unused items, much like a crack addict looking for her next fix.

Sooo if you can spare a couple bucks I'd love you long time. Help me achieve this incredible feat! For larger sponsors i'll write what ever you want on myself in Sharpie on race day!
