I ran my Tough Mudder in the following… Adidas Climacool Fitted Jersey (team uniform). UnderArmour ColdGear long-sleeve top underneath. Brooks quick-drying Running Shorts. UnderArmour ColdGear leggings underneath. A pair of lightweight Nike Dri-fit fingerless workout gloves. Dri-fit socks. New Balance Cross Country Racing flats.

And so begins the final chapter of the Tough Mudder saga. Refer to Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 for the rest of this story. I had just gotten out of the Electric Eel obstacle and felt something similar to a sheet of ice on my chest. In reality, crawling in the obstacle’s super-shallow water (heated by [...]

So we continue with the third chapter (of four) of my Tough Mudder saga. Refer to Part 1 and Part 2 for the rest of this story. And yes, this story deserves four posts. We left off with some slight aches and pains in my joints and me hoping for some water soon. I had [...]

We left off Part 1 with a teammate on the ground clutching his ankle, and the frigid waters of the Arctic Enema awaiting.

Tough Mudder Tuesday #5

---

Less than two weeks to go and I’m finally kicking my ass into gear. I’ve been lifting, running, or biking almost every day and I’m feeling a little more confident (though not much). My only hope is that I’m not the slowest on my 11-person team. I am not in prime shape for this event, and I [...]

Tough Mudder Tuesday #4

---

It has been a rough few weeks for training between what is going on at school and some personal things. I have not run in over a week, and probably only ran once in the week prior to that. I have, however, been strength training a bit here and there. I finally got out this [...]

Prosetentially Famous

I’m pleased to announce the birth of the creative lovechild of several bloggers, myself included. Teacher Girl and I, in our busy lives,  somehow managed to carry this idea from inception all the way to fruition (quite an accomplishment in the lives of 20-somethings).
