I am doing my first Tough Mudder this weekend up in Hudson. I have kicked it around for 3-4 years now and decided last fall that 2015 was going to be the year. This has been a huge wake up call for me, since I signed up in December. I jumped on the scale in the middle of January and was actually shocked at the numbers I was reading between my feet. I was 15 lbs heavier than I even thought I was, and I knew I was heavier than I had ever been. No wonder my jeans were so snug…..I started a pretty strong change of diet on that day and also started a fairly tough work out program 3 or 4 days a week. With the support of my fellow Mudders and my family, I’ve dropped 35-40 lbs since the beginning of February and feel that I will be as ready as I can be come tomorrow morning. I’m very nervous about the day, but I am also syked to see what I can do.
Team Byron Fire Dept will be there with 9 Tough Mudder studs starting at 8:00 am.
But the obstacle courses look like they might be fun. You’ll feel amazing afterward! Good luck tomorrow and drink plenty of water throughout the day. It’s going to be a hot one!
