Ramping Up Again


It has been a while since I have last posted.  DC and I are running neck and neck in blogging proficiency or lack thereof lately.  Part of that is due to the long layoff combined with the cancelled Virginia Beach Mudder. Another part is due to the start of school and a very busy time for the three of us.  With all that being said we are staring directly at another mudder in less than two weeks.

Actually the rumor is that Patrick will be taking the headband lead by running/walking/limping the Seattle Mudder this weekend.  It is likely the flowing locks but he is actually ahead of Kobe Bryant with his recovery.  DC and I will be traveling to the Tri-State Mudder to attempt three laps during the weekend.  This will be immediately followed by running the Mid-Atlantic Mudder the following weekend.  Just typing these words make my shin and foot start to throb.

In a sense I am nervous about ramping up again because it has been so long since we ran a mudder. Training has stayed intense as I have developed a love/hate relationship with Crossfit but nothing compares to actually running in the mud and being electrocuted.  From this point on running mudders will be our official training. We have a total of somewhere between 6-8 laps ahead of us before we hit the World's Toughest Mudder. None of us have pulled the trigger on that registration but all it will take is one.  That's just how this group operates.

While this is more of a ramble than a post you will begin to see more action on our blog.  A lot will be answered in the next few weeks.  Will Patrick and his achilles survive Seattle?  Will DC and I survey the New Jersey Turnpike and the three laps that await us?  Will any of us make it World's Toughest?  Stay tuned.  I see a T-Minus series coming up...
