Way to go--on all of it--The weight loss, the race, the results--awesome job!
(And thanks for the tips--I'm doing my first race--also a mud run in a week and a half and wouldn't have thought about duct tape and high socks. Where'd you get the cute socks?)0 -

Your quads look awesome!! Way to go!!
Funny you mention that. I HATE my quads. They are big and my trouble spot. I posted not long ago about my bulky quads and got all the standard responses - you are a girl and can't have bulky anything, you are fat not bulky, you can't get bulky quads while eating at a deficit, blah blah.
They are so wrong, I have bulky man quads and hate them. I guess I have to embrace them. You can see them really bad on the last pic where my leg is flexed because I am on my tippy toes, my shoes were muddy and nasty. Ugg I hate my quads but they are rock hard which is better than flab i guess.
dude they look sexy its the first thing i noticed and thought... doing my first mud run in AUG so happy I got the duct tape trick! lol and knee pads now!0 -

I guess it thought I was saying a bad word. I got them from a sporting goods store that sounds like Ricks but with a "D" and are made by Reebok.0 -
So inspiring! My sister-in-law just did a mud run and had a blast too. I myself just started trying to run this week. Luckily with a friend, but so far it pretty much sucks and makes me sore. Everyone says it gets better so I'll just keep trying I guess. This is exactly why I browse posts, to be inspired ... and you definitely have succeeded in inspiring me. Thanks!0

Oh Yes, I am addicted now! I can't wait to do the warrior dash when it comes back to town. Hopefully I will be healed up and ready to go by then!! My next mud/obstacle run I have registered for is in Sept. Have fun!!0 -

You are so sweet. Just keep at it, I hate to run even now. The first 10 minutes are the hardest then you just turn to auto mode and can run forever. For me, it is all a mind game, I get bored easily and have to tell myself, you are not going to stop. I have found that jog/run intervals (5.5mph & 7.0mph) really help me to keep from getting bored going at one pace for long distances and they help increase your speed. Also, make sure you have some good tunes going. You will be a running machine before you know it!0 -
You look awesome!! Congratulations!! I don't know about a Mud run, but cant wait to do my first 5k0

Love the story, wow you look awesome and congrats on the great time at the race. I am running a 5K near end of July called Warrior Dash, I am doing it with a group. I will duct tape the shoes. I have been doing the C25K and some other training as well. I can't wait and a wee bit scared too.0

You look awesome! I am doing my first mud run in Portland in July---- Any tips?!?
Yes, here are a few.
Don't worry what you look like before the race, you will be trashed after. With that said wear knee pads, tall socks, duct tape your shoes on and something to keep your hair out of your face. In your bag pack wet wipes, a towel and face clenser wipes, a change of clothes and dry shoes. Enjoy it, it is a blast. I wore my HRM to help keep me at a pace I could maintain the whole race and that helped me to not get caught up in the rush. I was able to maintain my pace and ended up passing the quick starters in the 3/4 of the race.
Hey, I'm doing my tough mudder next month in So Cal running springs! How did not get your HRM for not getting wet??? Any mire advice besides those u just wrote? Did u train for your mudder? I'm just doing Insanity and Kettle Bell training ... is that good enough? I know they say its a lit of upper strength! !! Thax0
