after participating in the White Rock (half)Marathon this past December, i decided it was time to do something… else
but i CERTAINLY wasn’t going to be running a full marathon. so i kept on the search for another way to torture myself mentally and physically…
as i stood in front of our local fitness boutique, Get Fit, i casually mentioned the Tough Mudder to him. considering (perhaps) participating and/or falling somewhere near the sidelines and just passing out in hopes that some big burly man would throw me over his shoulder, call me his, and take me home to meet mom and we’d live happily ever after….
ok fine. i lost my point here.
at any rate, that moment was the birth of this ridiculous idea to participate in an event that will not only challenge me… but just might do me in.
perhaps, the more crazy thing is trying to incorporate this three-day-a-week training with my already standing four day a week training schedule for the Cowtown Marathon
yes folks, i have lost my mind
at any rate: here are some photos of our outdoor training course and some of my teammates!
and just in case all of that looks easy…. this might help you gain a better sense of the insanity
be one tough mudder!
chance, lauren and teetee: i’ve said just about everything i could possibly say about the importance of our friendship. if i could invent new and meaningful ways to tell you how thankful i am that God brought the three of you… the four of you… into my life… i would. and i’d write a book about it. and it still wouldn’t be enough. being given the honor of photographing your family is so special to me. thank you. thank you.
XOXO!!!
