The Reluctant Spartan: Tales from the Trenches

Musings Of A Work in Progress

Welcome to my world of sweat, strength, and a little bit of crazy! I’m Sarah Beth, a determined (stubborn is more accurate) woman on a mission to conquer the Spartan race. What started as a wild idea to push my limits has turned into an adventure filled with intense training, unexpected challenges, and plenty of moments where I wonder, "What was I thinking?"

I’m not a fitness expert or a pro athlete—I’m just like you, juggling work, life, and the occasional cupcake craving while trying to push myself further every day. This blog is where I’ll share my journey: the victories, the struggles, the laughs, and everything in between. So if you’re curious about what it really takes to train for a Spartan race—or just want to cheer me on from the sidelines—stick around!

Let’s see what happens when determination meets a few good obstacles.
