About to become a Tough Mudder







Mud. Ice. Electricity. Fire. Blood. Sweat. Tears.

I'm not sure how I was persuaded to pay $130 to take part in something that, quite frankly, scares me to death. I suppose that's the beauty of life---facing your fears; doing things that challenge you, terrify you, make you a stronger person.

At 8am on Saturday, we will be the first in line to conquer the 10 to 12-mile course in Wortham, Texas. There will be 24 military-style obstacles, and we'll be crawling through mud, swimming through ice, and running through fire.

Did I mention the potential for electrocution? Yep, they even have an obstacle that no matter how strong you think you are, it will make you fall flat on your face. Trust me, I watched my husband leap into a face plant during the Houston race. And it wasn't pretty.


Kevin (my husband) tells me this race is more challenging than a marathon, so of course, I asked him what's the best way to prepare. 


His response? Don't think about it. Just do it. 
Yes, because if I think about it anymore, I will probably find a reason not to... Haha
