1. I'm not a personal trainer, professional athlete, coach, fitness guru, yogi, or whatever.
2. I'm not a gym rat, a weight lifter, calorie counter, or nutrition nut.
3. What I am is a fairly normal guy who turned 30 this year and wants to do something abnormal; some would say, insane: Tough Mudder.
For many out there who don't know what Tough Mudder (TM) is, here's a link: http://www.toughmudder.com. Check it out, it's awesome!
I'm writing this blog to chronicle my journey over the next three months as I prepare for the event on October 23, 2011. The course I'll be running is here: http://toughmudder.com/events/virginia/. I'll write about my successes and inevitable failures along the way. And hopefully, at the end of three months, I'll be trained and ready to participate and complete the event.
