My friends and I did the half Tough Mudder in September and I loved it and I want to inspire you to push yourself and don’t just settle for what you are doing now.
My friends thought it would be fun to sign us all up for doing the half Tough Mudder. My friends are not very fit and don’t train like me at the gym, but they thought it would be fun and something to aim for, so we signed up, got the team t shirts, and turned up, not quite knowing what we had signed ourselves up for.
It turned out to be one of the best things I have ever done and I was disappointed when it was over. I could have gone around again, (but my friends refused!).
So now I have started training for the full Tough Mudder in Henley in May which is 10+ miles and over 20 obstacles with 500,000 litres of grade A mud and 40 tons of ice, not forgetting the electric eel where you get electrocuted!!
Why is this pushing myself you may ask? Not for the obvious reasons of being covered in mud and doing obstacles, as I love that, and have since being in the army cadets at school, but because of the running. I hate running! So now I have had to put that to one side and start training as I want to be able to do the full tough mudder. 10 miles is really far for me.
This all goes towards spending my way to happiness. It is time with people that I love as it is a team activity and is definitely an experience that I will never forget.
