Before...

So I must start by saying, that in all my 29 years on this planet I don't think I have ran a full mile at one time. Saying that I still cannot fathom how I was persuaded to join my friends team on the Tough Mudder ten mile obstacle course race. Oh yes, I can truly say that I am a genius.

I am as I have already said 29 years old, am a mother of two children, and is pretty much a couch potato. The Tough Mudder is in October. So I am getting myself into a training with some help of my trusty pal Google.

My husband is a Marine and is in, as you can imagine, excellent shape. I want to prove to him and myself that I CAN do this. I need motivation though. I am the type that gives up easily (not the easiest thing to admit). But I also want my children to see that their mommy can do this!

Tomorrow will start day 1 of the training. I will pray for myself.
