Literally “lets get dirty.”! In a constant effort to stay healthy and fit, I could not back down, when a friend challenged me to complete the Camp Pendleton 10k Mud Run. Since I have completed in marathons (26.2 miles), one on foot and the other on bike, I figured how hard could a 10k (6.2 miles) race be. As I sought information on this “Mud Run”, I learned that the course was equipped with tire obstacles, river crossings, tunnel crawls, slippery hill climbs, and the final 30-foot mud pit. Needless to say, I think I have a found a fulfilling challenge.
The Mud Run is October 18th, which gives myself and those who dare to accept this challenge more than enough time to prepare. Registration is $55 and as this is a popular event spots fill up months in advance, so sign up early! If you are content with the treadmill as your work out, be sure to check back later this year and see how team Elevated survived the Mud Run.
Good luck with that! I wouldn’t make it past the first mile. Plus…you can forget about me ever messing up my hair like that (yes I do realize that is vain).
