The goal of this challenge is to do 30 squats a day for 30 days. This is significant for me because I have 30 days starting today before I leave to go run the Colorado Rockies Spartan Beast. So, I will be doing 30 squats IN ADDITION to any other training that I have scheduled for today. Even rest days will be included. We'll consider them to be the "favorite" term of "active rest." You can read about how I wrangled myself into tackling the Spartan Beast HERE.

If you don't know how to do a proper squat, or want to make sure that you are doing a squat correctly I even dug up the original #Spartan30 Squat Tutorial that Spartan Race shared on YouTube back in 2014 when they 1st ran this challenge! Now that I've resurrected this challenge, check it out below for your viewing pleasure!
Now that you know how to do a proper squat, you can read a little more about my preparations.
I have been looking for a good trail shoe that would also work well during an OCR (Obstacle Course Race) like a Spartan. Back in 2013 when I ran the Nebraska Spartan Sprint I was selected to be inov-8's Masked Mudder! (You can read about that experience HERE! Unfortunately, I think they discontinued the persona in 2015 as I haven't seen any activity suggesting that this is still alive.) As part of this I wore some inov-8 trail running shoes, the inov-8 Trailroc 255. I was lucky to find some shoes that I think will help me out. I introduce my newest (not here yet) addition to my footwear lineup. The inov-8 X-Talon 225!!! Oooh! Aaaah!!! Aren't they pretty!? Don't forget to look at the picture below to actually see them instead of just reading what I have typed.
And for nostalgia sake, lets take a look at my previous Spartan Race pictures as the inov-8 Masked Mudder!!!
