When my application for the Spartan Death Race was accepted, along with the congratulations it said, "Your race starts now." Besides preparing mentally and physically, they send you monthly media challenges that you must do to their exact requirements. Many times these challenges end up being a part of the actual death race in some form or fashion but if not completely they carry a penalty that will be enforced at the Death Race.
So for March it was: Action: 1 KM Cinder block walk. Items: Two 8 inch x 8 inch x 8 inch square cinder blocks Task: Without allowing your feet (or other body parts) to touch the ground, walk 1 km with the two cinder blocks entirely under your feet.

Slow and steady, no falls, no touching the ground.
Seeing more behind the frame, future bright but feel the shake.
Thinking ain't nobody feel the way I do but someone gotta feel the same.
On the bright side, yeah this music here became my only lifeline.
Think I'm going crazy, I'm not in my right mind.
Welcome to my life, welcome to my life, yeah.
Welcome to my life, welcome to my.
All right guys, you saw that I signed up for the Spartan Death Race.
Well, part of it is every month you have to do a challenge.
They'll send out a different challenge every month and you better do these challenges
because I've heard if you don't, you may be punished for them once you get to the actual event.
So for March, I have to walk one kilometer with center blocks,
the eight by eight by eight center blocks attached to my feet
and I cannot have any other body part touching the ground.
So I'm going to try a combination of duct tape and then kind of holding some rope.
So we're going to see how that goes.
I've got a video for social media and posted to social media
that you guys as part of the vlog kind of see some of my training.
So what I've been doing for the past month because it's been almost a month,
maybe like three weeks, two, three weeks I guess since I actually signed up.
I've been able to increase my cardio.
I think I told you guys all I've been doing is walking for years.
Well, now I'm actually doing some running.
So it's been feeling pretty good.
Although I will say my left calf or like right below my left calf
has kind of been hurting a little bit when I run,
but I've been able to do some elevation walks.
We have the treadmill that will go all the way up to 40% incline.
And so I've done 3000 foot of elevation walks on that.
I've been able to do like an hour on Stairmaster climbing like 250 flights.
So I'm slowly building up.
I'm slowly getting there.
I'm running like three to four miles slow pace,
but I've been improving on my cardio and my running some, you know,
look, I got about three months.
I got a long way to go, but it's been feeling good.
I've been trying to increase some of my endurance on my lifts.
Body's feeling pretty good, man.
The back is holding up.
That's my biggest issue as I'm worried about the back, that and sleep deprivation.
So anyways, that's enough talking for this.
Let's get to the challenge.
All right, here we go.
I'm a little over halfway.
Getting the hang of it.
Slow and steady.
No falls.
No touching the ground.
Get the camera.
I should get a backup.
Walking circle.
There it is.
One kilometer.
22 minutes.
One kilometer.
All right.
Challenge is done for March.
I'll be back with April.
In the meantime, I'm going to keep working.
Keep building up my cardio, my endurance.
Need to start doing some trail running.
My pack should be coming in soon.
And start doing some rucking.
Subscribe.
My man, Murph Squad.
Let's go.
Shout out to the boys.
Welcome to my life.
