Are we tough enough?????

Tough Mudder is less than 100 hours away and counting.... EEEEK! We are now crossing our fingers that we are tough enough as we run our last miles and lift our last sets of weights. If only we had started our training earlier. A group of us who are running Tough Mudder went to the playground a few days ago to try out the monkey bars. One of the obstacles in the event is climbing an incline set of monkey bars over a freezing river. It was interesting as the girls fared better than the boys (I think it helps that we weigh less than they do). Steve and I have learned two important lessons while preparing for this event. 1: Do not procrastinate your training and 2: Listen to your body and start out slowly. We are both getting more and more nervous as Saturday gets closer and closer, but we are also excited and know that we will have fun as we push our bodies to their limit. We have decided to all stick together as a team and do Tough Mudder together. We will let the slowest person set the pace. I have already volunteered to be the person who will set the pace. Our goal is to finish. Two weeks ago only 63% of the participants finished the event so although our goal may sound simple, it will be a challenge. Okay friends are you ready? Here we go...WHO-RAH!!!
