Meet Carie
The jack-of-all-trades, Carie has a background that includes a long list of activities. She prefers to try new things to get her heart racing. You might find her on the golf course, volleyball court, bike path, kayaking or in a zumba class. She’ll train for the Dirty Girl WI event in her hometown Madison gym.
Summertime Slackin’
Hey Dirty Girls! If you’re anything like me, you’ve been totally taken by the beautiful, warm summer weather and may have slacked a little in your Dirty Girl Mud Run training. Oops. Not to worry though — there’s still plenty of time to get your butt in gear! Which is great news for me because, for some reason, I’ve pretty much opted to do everything BUT run, lift weights, train, etc. And instead have opted for some low-key frisbee golf, canoeing the Kickapoo River (although quite an upper body workout heading upstream!), leisurely bike rides to the farmer’s market and so on.
It’s been great! And, I shouldn’t be too hard on myself I guess, given most of the activities have provided some sort of physical benefit – especially the canoeing (upper body) and the biking (those hills aren’t easy on the legs). However, it’s time I get myself revved back up for some trail running, obstacle climbing and overall mental preparation for a fun-filled day of mud! I’ve got my Dirty Girl gear (shirt, bracelet, bandanna, sticker) and I can not wait for this event! If you haven’t seen the Dirty Girl store, you’ve got to check it out — lots of cool stuff you can get to tell the world you’re a Dirty Girl!
And if you’ve been slacking a little like me this summer, don’t sweat it…you’ll be doing plenty of that soon enough at Milford Hills Hunt Club, Rocky Mountain Roosters or Emery Park, NY.

No slacking for this “newbie” – thanks to LCABC I’ve been kicking it with 5x/week month long bootcamp workouts. The fun starts again tomorrow morning for the summer session.
That’s great Eileen! I need to get myself into one of those programs…and quick!
Sounds like the ladies participating in the boot camp workouts are gonna kick butt at the Dirty Girl Mud Run!
