MudRunFun Magazine 2014 January

already worn out, are running an extra 6 miles prior to the 10. We get to the starting line and we are off.

This is were I’m kind of at the quitting point; one guy had already quit do to injury and I felt at this point I’ve gone this far so second quitter does not sound so bad now lol. But I kept going.

So I keep going. The next 10 miles were pure HELL. I felt like I was on an episode of “I Survived”.

That means an outrageous number of burpees and more!!. After two miles of carrying the water we had only 8 miles left.

Now leaving the bucket behind we do an indian run UPHILL and downhill followed by some group pushups. Now we only have four more miles left.

Once again I say to myself, “ I am done and how did I get my self into this!” But I can’t quit now because the only way out is to finish because we are stuck in the woods. Through the forest we go over and under trees uphill and downhill and with my last bit of motivation and every bone in my body screaming, my brain telling me to move but muscles refusing to listen. The faster I try to move the slower I become to the point that I’m just walking at a very fast pace.

When we get to the last mile and half marker we realize we have 30 mins to make it to the finish line. Now this seem to be an easy task, but with 18 miles behind us this two miles will take everything I have in me and more!!! Once again, with the group
