tough mudder

Tough Mudder has earned a reputation across the country for throwing challenging but well put together obstacle course races. In the summer of 2018, you won't have to travel very far as they're staging a big event in the Hudson Valley.

So, you might be exercising to trim down. Swimsuit season is only 5 months away. Maybe you're trying to maintain your weight loss in the winter. Who cares why, in the long run. But if you're looking for an extra reason to push a little harder, maybe you should sign up for a run in May...

So, I'm still not nearly in good enough shape, but I'm doing the Tough Mudder Tri-State down in Englishtown NJ, Oct  12th. I've done a bunch of different OCR's, from Spartan to Zombie, but never a TM. I think I'm ok for the majority of the obstacles (and I'm ok with failing on the ones I'm not)...

As you guys are probably well aware, I enjoy obstacle course racing. From the uber-fun Warrior Dash to the hyper competitive Spartan Race, I try to run as many of these damn things as I can. HOWEVER, there's one that's just amazingly bizarre and it actually has people chasing you...

It's almost racing season in the Northeast! You may think I'm taking about a regular footrace, and I've run my fair share. But I don't mean that anymore. I've become addicted. To mud. To be fair, most of the mud runs these days aren't tremendously muddy, except for certain spots...
