I hope to get to meet you too. I don't know what our plan is yet, I'm just going with the flow.
I'm hanging in there. My max distance in "running" is only about a mile before I have to walk, so I am relying heavily on the "small run-obstacle-small run" that I hope the mudrun will be. Our goal is just to finish, although two of my teammates are also far more fit than I am. The third one is probably a few steps behind me, and I have a hope that my all around strength/fitness will make up for my lack of being a "runner." As much as I keep hope I will get to the point where I *like* running, I just don't think it will ever happen.
We registered the first day it was open...one of the girls has done it before and she said we had to get an early start time. I wasn't that worried about it because I know we'll be slow, but she said as the day wears on the heat gets worse and the obstacles get all muddy/nasty.
It'll be an experience, and even if I am miserable I will still have fun. As long as I don't end up in the first aid tent...and even if I do as long as I can make it out for a cold beer afterwards! :-)

Sorry about your back!! If it makes you feel any better, I can't run a mile! I can do 5 miles on the elliptical, and I can do almost a mile on the treadmill, but put me out on the road and I am just miserable.
My strength training class at the Y is based on the P90X program, so its pretty intense. So far that is the only training I am doing other than working on running. I am going to be 20+ years younger than any of the other women on my team, so I have to get in shape. They're all training for a tri in the spring, so I am WAY behind them... but they have been running for 10+ years, so I don't feel so bad... 4367 days ago
