    Okay so idk how you are conditionally speaking, but I'm saying yes you should absolutly do it. It's in 3 weeks so not only are you trying to exercise to be in good ftiness anyway, but now you have even more of a reason to train..for the event!! It's more inspiration and plus when you do the mud run, run at YOUR OWN COMFORTABLE PACE!! Do not try to be a superstar and put your hardest effort in. Get a good pair of sneakers so you don't hurt your ankles. My guess is that there will be hills and a few minor obstacle courses but you can do it. I"ve done a mud run before and it's not bad, I've seen many people who thought they couldn't do it that were able to successfullly complete the course. DO ITT and good luck! Keep me posted.

    Do it! If not I'll do it! You only get one chance in life and when things happen you should jump at every oppertunity to live life! As that famous guy once said...Just Do It!

    Pfffft ... in a heart beat - do it. Why not? It will make for a great memory of laughter and fun. Are you conditioned for that? :)

    lololol I haven't personally done a USMC mud run myself, but I have friends that have done them and they said it was a blast. Everyone around you is super supportive during the race and there's food at the end! (the ones they've done anyway) It's not about who's first or I'm better than you or whatever, it's about finishing strong and having fun. So just start running 5 or 6 days a week, be sure to rest! and you'll do great. :]
