I like to think that I'm a pretty adventurous person. I'll pretty much wear anything, try any trend and my love off all things colorful occasionally has me dressing like a walking bag of Skittles. I wear it. I own it! But I realized a few months ago that a lot of things scare me or just flat out give me anxiety. Are these things "scary," or have I just built up the fear in my mind? It's the latter.A few weeks ago I went on a trip to Nashville with Chevy and I had to seriously ask myself, "did I make a huge mistake???" Though Chevy was our sponsor, there was a fitness component to the trip, including CrossFit and kayaking. Um, CrossFit absolutely freaks me out. The workout just seems so hardcore. I like working out, but those workouts just seem too intense. And as far as kayaking? I can't swim and have a serious fear of large bodies of water. So this trip would have normally been something I said no-way to, but instead I said, let's do it!Chevrolet Silverado CrossFit Event - Nashville

what-to-wear-for-a-mud-run-dirty-girl-mud-run-what-to-wear-looking-fly-on-a-dimeLast week I participated in my first mud run {I shared behind the scenes action on Snapchat. Follow @PatriceJWill} and it was definitely an interesting experience. I've always wanted to do a physical challenge with obstacle courses {kinda like an adult Double Dare with mud!} and I'm so glad I did. During the Dirty Girl Mud Run, we ran 3.1 miles and challenges included climbing walls, ropes, mud pits, etc.But the week before the race I was frantically trying to figure out what I would wear. If you've ever wanted to do a mud run or any type of outdoor physical course that requires getting down and dirty, here are a few tips on the do's and don'ts of what to wear.

affordable activewear, JCPenney activewearThough I enjoy a good workout and love an early morning run, I tend to fall off at times when it comes to consistently working out. But I absolutely jumped at the chance when I was invited to the New Year, New You event by JCPenney. Dancing with the Stars champ Karina Smirnoff would be on hand leading a dance class, so I knew I had to attend.
But besides the opportunity to be whipped in to shape by a DWTS pro, I loved the JCPenney Xersion and CityStreets activewear lines. They're chic {you won't be embarrassed to be seen in these gym clothes!} and super affordable.
