The Warrior Dash looks crazy but I kind of want to do it. You get to "Duke's of hazard" slide over 20 cars, repel down rocks, climb over hay bales, and crawl in the mud. My 50-ish friend did it and survived. Think I could?
I'm in training now if you count the obstacle course that the last 7 months have been. Here's that course description:
- Crash through the starting gate at full speed
- Cough your guts out the top, and give birth out the bottom
- Make 31 laps to and from the laundry room
- Tackle toddler eating crayons while holding infant at boob
- Push the stroller 5 miles in a rainstorm
- Stay up three nights in a row
- Dash 2 miles uphill to the office and convincingly make believe you are sane
- Recite The Cat in the Hat backward, from memory
- Strap on 50 pounds of kid and dance to the Grinch song
- Repel 300 ft down into a hormonal ravine and then claw back up using only your fallen out hair and diet coke
- Go on a nit hunt and clean all the bodies, furniture and stuff in the house with a toothbrush
- Recover from (yet another) bout of mastitis and cheerfully cook three meals no one will eat
- Change a diaper with your teeth while nursing a sick toddler
- Step over the "finish line" (where exactly do I find that?), fall over, and pass out
I love you, my little obstacle course buddies. You certainly keep life interesting.
Love,
Mama

I wanna do that!!! The muddy, hay bale one (not that the other doesn't sound fun). But seriously, I looked into it last year and thought it sounded so crazy awesome. When you're ready, let me know...let's do it together!
