In 12 days I will be doing a Mud Run!! It's getting so close!!!
Right now I'm not that nervous. The few days before the race I know I will be a nervous wreck though! It's slowly starting to sink in that I'm actually doing this.
Yesterday I met with some people running the race with me and we went to a local school. We ran up and down a crazy hill. Then practiced crawling on the ground and attempt to go across the monkey bars. Most importantly, we practiced lifting each other over the monkey bars. There will be high walls that day and I wanted to make sure someone would be able to lift me up!! It was something I was really nervous about! Even though I'm the smallest I've ever been, I still have a good bit of weight to lose!
After we practiced I felt a lot more confident about the race. I felt more comfortable knowing these women are going to stay with me the whole race.
After that, I went to get my compression clothes for the race. I needed something sleek that will keep me warm. And also be able to dry fast. Which is why I had to get compression clothes. They are the most unforgiving clothes you can imagine. They show every lump and bump!! UGH! I wish I was way smaller. However I didn't look as terrible as I thought I would. Plus I know how happy I will be that I wore these the day of the race. I'm going to get muddy and very wet. I need something that will not weigh me down and keep me going! I look crazy though. lol
I can't wait for the race to happen already! I know it will be an experience to last me forever!

Wooooo! Enjoy your last few days of training for it!
My sis in law does Mudder Events and there is always a run a through LIVE electric wires! You are clearly wet (they wet you right away) and then you run through electric?!? LOL I guess the voltage isn't enough to kill you.
Good Luck!! How exciting for you. Mudders are supposed to be the most mentally challenging things out there. Keep your mind in the game!
