DID I JUST SAY THAT????? :noway: ME????? Who cant stand bugs or dirt not to mention mud????? HELL YEAH!!! Im gonna do this! Im gonna prove to myself once and for all that i can be gross.... and dirty ... and just.... just..... Have a freakin blast!!!! Whos with me on this CrAzY *kitten* adventure?????

    I say do it, sounds like a good time! I'm not sure you need to do much to get ready though...lol. This should be a cake walk for you!
  • You are a very competitive person. You tend to compete against yourself always striving to do better. This is just another challenge for yourself and I say go for it! You're right, it should be fun but for you it will be a challenge because apparently you haven;'t done something like this.

    Go for it!!

    As for training for it, somehow I think you're already in superb physical condition. You're training for the Marathon and this is only two weeks later. You'll be well prepared.

    As for your 44th birthday.................you realize that a birthday celebrates the end of the year. You'll be bringing in your 45th. What a better way to do it!! I only wish I could be there to watch you!

    Go for it and best of success to you!! Oh, take some dirty pictures. :laugh:

    I think if it is going to make you happy Rock it out. I told you before I think you need to take it to the limit and compete in figure. You have the glam look that needs to show. For some reason I have a feeling though that you will find a way to be glam doing a mud run though. lol

    I think you should do it! You def will have to train for the different things they will do. Its kinda like crossfit with the climbing etc. You will be sore after wards but i hear they are SO MUCH FUN!! I want to try one soon.

    My only comfort is that I haven't heard of anyone dying at a Spartan Sprint... yet. I hope I don't make the news. :noway: :frown:
