lrgart Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Half marathon?!?!?!? That is awesome Juice!Make sure you do the mileage homework and you will do great! Make sure to vaseline all the tender bits before a long run-and dont wear cotton, use a dry-fit something or other type of fabric.I am so excited for you Minotaur AssassinLevel 3:STR 5.5DEX 3STA 6CON 4WIS 1CHA 2Challenge 1, Challenge 2 Shadows Fall Mojo LogRun for those who want to and cannot.

Pika24 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Thanks!! LOL @ 'tender bits'. I have one or 2 of the super special shirts that wick away moisture - should probably pick up some more!! And today my friend was all like 'I'm turning 26 this year so I'm going to train for a full marathon too to celebrate. You should join me!' My response: '... ... ...' And I also think I was mixing up Tough Mudder with the regular Mud Run. Yeah. NOT up for being shocked by wires and all that craziness! You are insane!

lrgart Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 A few of the Tough Mudder photos are in the albums now.

livlovRA Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Fab running plans. I love running through the woods! I did a tough guy a few years ago - I think its like your Tough mudder thing as its all about the assault course and lots and lots of mud! It was great and I am dying to do another one, I just need a chum to do it with. Shame you aren't over here. Last time was with 25 blokes and me. Ended up running it mostly on my own. I am so much fitter than I was then too. livlovra Level 2 Adventurer with a Warrior heart STA 4/STR 8/DEX 3/CON 8/WIS 3.75 + 1/CHA 4.75My 2nd 6 Week Challenge Link to post
lrgart Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Doing it solo is definitely more challenging, but it is surprising how many strangers become mates when the going gets tough! I hope you get the chance to do another one if that is what you want to do. If we were closer I would be your wingman! My wife thinks I'm absolutely bonkers for it, but she understands the drive - She is doing her own challenge under the name aimless, and is rocking it!

livlovRA Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Yes I certainly made one friend; after jumping off a 5 meter burning hay stack into a muddle lake and swimming round pushing a log, I got out to find I had a fish in my bra! Was so stunned I had to stop the nearest girl to me and share. She and I did the next couple of obstacles together after that bonding moment livlovra Level 2 Adventurer with a Warrior heart STA 4/STR 8/DEX 3/CON 8/WIS 3.75 + 1/CHA 4.75My 2nd 6 Week Challenge Link to post
