Tough Mudder

For several weeks now a friend of mine has had a link http://toughmudder.com/events/bear-creek/ posted on his gmail status. I never bothered to check the link out fearing it may be inappropriate site that I should not access from my work computer. But after being challenged by a mutual friend I decided to register for it. It seemed like a great idea at the time, but now it's looking a bit more daunting. For those of you that have never heard of Tough Mudder it is a race designed by the British Special Air Service (SAS) meant to challenge one's "toughness, fitness, strength, stamina and mental grit all in one place and all in one day." The seven mile course includes such fan favorites as, barbed wire, mud pits, really big flames, a high ropes course, under water tunnels, and freezing cold water. Sounds like a day grandma's house. The race itself is partnered with the Wounded Warrior Project. A non-for-profit foundation that aims to provide support for wounded American Soldiers and conquering heroes. Donations can be made to foundation at http://www.active.com/donate/toughmuddernypawwp. Please feel free to donate on my behalf. The race takes place at Bear Mountain, PA on May 2, 2010. Alright t-minus 2 months, let's do this.

Keep the recommendations coming,

Mully
