While on TDY (temporary military duty) with a friend in my unit she mentioned a fitness challenge she is doing with some of her friends. It's called Tough Mudder. I was game from the start and then got Paul on board. Here is a description from the website if you don't take the time to visit it:
Tough Mudder is not your average lame-ass mud run or spirit-crushing ‘endurance’ road race. It’s Ironman meets Burning Man. Our 7-12 mile obstacle courses are designed by British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie.
**The course we are running in is 8 miles**
The proceeds go to the Wounded Warrior Project.
I had never heard of it before my friend mentioning it, but upon further digging into what I was getting myself into, I have found that it seems to be gaining popularity with others. The challenge we signed up for takes place in July at Devil's head resort.
Right now Paul and I are also considering getting a team together for the warrior dash. It's "3.08 hellish miles" set to take place in Sept in Twin Lakes. We definitely have a year of fitness cut out for us and I couldn't be more excited.
