in Success Stories
I joined MFP as I wanted to lose weight and get fit as I had signed up to an Event called Tough Mudder. The run was held last July but unfortunately due to my lack of fitness I was unable to complete it. My pride took a battering so the first thing I did was to sign up for the next Tough Mudder that was being held in the UK, the second thing was to get my head down and seriously train for it. I worked hard in the gym and also ran when I was home.

This weekend passed I COMPLETED IT!! 12 miles of cross country running and 28 different obstacles, it was hard going but my team and I got through it. I am extremely proud of myself so I thought I would share it with you guys. The success stories on here really helped me get motivated to train even on crappy days. Anyways here are the pics…..

Pics from the event I couldn’t complete

    Wow, I'm Jealous. I just did a Run for your Lives Zombie 5K obstacle course this weekend, and had a blast. My friends who I went with have convinced me to sign up for the Tough Mudder in May 2013 in Jacksonville. I am so psyched that I can't stand it. It has sent my motivation through the roof.

    Great job. In May I will have a similar story to post!!

    Any training suggestions?
