Overflowing with happiness over this NSV. If you're on the fence about doing a mud run, do it. Sign up immediately, if not sooner. My cheeks are sore from the smiling and laughing. Best DOMS ever. Special thank you to Engineman312 for the idea and inspiration.

    I need this extra bit of motivation. I'm doing Tough Mudder May 13, and nerves have started creeping in. I've been training, and we have a "team", but always good to hear the feeling of accomplishment (thanks). Great job!

    Outside of the obvious( a race in the mud) - what is it? Excuse my ignorance but just curious what exactly it consists of.

    it's a muddy 5k with lots of obstacles, eg, monkey bars, roped spider webs to crawl on, webbed towers to climb over, mud rivers to swim through, fences to hop, tunnels to slither through, etc.

    :happy: Doing a mudrun in Niceville, Fl in May! Shouldn't be too hot or anything- lol! Anyway--- looking forward to doing it with my entire family and a great friend that's been with me almost the whole way. Can't wait, even though I'm a bit nervous about finishing! Oh well, congrats on your finish, you did wonderful! :drinker:

    Ya know, mud is a great cooling agent, I discovered. Pigs are on to something.

    Too funny! That's a good thing then- cause other than the mud, it's gonna be HOT! Race time is 3:30.... Now that I think abt it, I may just sit in the final mudpit and wait for my team to come! Just kidding..... :bigsmile:
