 Running a Tough Mudder had always been one of my bigger life goals and it was truly a mountain peak moment when I finally got to do so! You see, I had previously trained to run one and tore my acl shortly before it putting off my completion date indefinitely. I even called in to get a credit for the next one that I promised myself I would do. For fear of reinjury, I had somewhat let go of that dream. When Bob Conlin and Ryan Heywood invited me to run my first Mudder with them, I knew there was no better team or support structure to make it to the top of this personal mountain. To be quite honest, I was nervous and scared at the start line. I tried to hide it and take this challenge on fearlessly. However, it took a couple miles in to really catch my stride emotionally. Once I did, there is no turning back! Besides each other's accountability pushing us past where we would normally stop, I got to know them on a whole new level. I met myself on a whole new level because of their partnership! I knew I wouldn't ever be the same after those 12 miles and 20 something obstacles! It takes something to complete a challenge like that. I'm ever proud and grateful that I did. I am one Tough Mudding mother f*er! And I know SO MANY of you are toooo! Post your picture of your mud runs!! I absolutely love seeing them! I know what it took for you to complete it! No matter the distance or number of obstacles, there is just something special about getting dirty about your goals!!! Let's see them and don't forget to tag your rockstar teammates!!
