Muds To Suds

It is time for my bi-yearly post.  I like that my blog has turned into a way for me to keep track of all the times throughout the year that i exercise.  My last post was November 2011, that seems about right.  So to stay true to form, this post will be about my next exercise, the Muds To Suds Race.

This coming Sunday i will be participating in a "Fun" run called Muds to Suds.  I will be doing this with my brother in law and sister in law.  It is a 3 mile run with 18 obstacles in the mud.  First off, the last time i ran 3 miles was last week is something that i would never say because it has never  happened.  i don't know if that last sentence translated well being typed out, but in my head i thought it was funny. Anyhoo, i actually am really looking forward to it and i have been appropriately preparing.  I drink at least one beer 5-7 nights a week, i eat as much as possible in any one sitting, i haven't played soccer in over 4 months AND i get anywhere from 5-7 hours of sleep per night.  This course ain't got nothin' on me!  I will prepare race day in my ritualistic manner that i do before every soccer game, which means; i won't stretch for fear of pulling a muscle and i won't do a light warm up for fear of getting tired before it even starts.  I will stand there, jump up and down a few times (maybe), swing my arms around as if that will help my run, and maybe take a few deep breaths and shake out my legs.  That's how i roll and it's been that way for 27 years of playing sports.  I, we, will destroy this course.  Of course there is the added incentive of a beer garden and free message at the end.
