And now on to more fun things. I have decided thanks to fellow eventer Laine Ashker that I am going to get into doing a Tough Mudder. For those of you who do not know what that is, look it up...kidding. Its this 10-12 mile warrier run that was developed by British Special Forces to increase awareness and comraderie between the forces. Included in the run are climbing walls, monkey bars, mud pits, jumping off high dives, crawling through tunnels, under wires in the mud, climbing steep muddy banks, running through high voltage electric wires (holy Darwin awards), and of course running. It sounds like something only the insane would do, so naturally I am excited to try it.
Now for those of you who know me- I am accident prone. I've been kicked in the face, kneed in the eye (25 stitches later), kicked in the groin, fallen out of a hayloft, fallen off horses more times than I can count and at least once a day my pesky depth perception will cause me to misjudge a doorway or turn and slam a shoulder or a leg into said stationary object. In trying to do this race Im asking to get hurt, but then again about two months ago I did jump out of a perfectly good airplane for fun. At least now I have health insurance.....
I guess thats all for now, if anyone has any interest on being on my team for this fun mud run please feel free to let me know. The more the merrier :) - plus something about trying to climb a 12 foot wall with no ropes screams to me MORE PEOPLE!
