Well I suppose I'm doing it.

Suppose? You are. And if you get the logo tattooed on, I believe it's free admission to any of the US events, for life!

Buhhhhh...

No.

Here you go:

Are you really giving out Tough Mudder tattoos?

For most events, we will have tattoo artists on-site available to ink you for a $70 price. To date, over 1,000 Mudders have gotten Tough Mudder tattoos! In some cases, local law does not allow us to have artists on-site. We still encourage participants tough enough to get a Tough Mudder tattoo to do so on your own. Fill out a tattoo registration form and we’ll give you a free entry to a Tough Mudder of your choice in 2012 (sans WTM). Customize your tattoo by having the event date and location put on – keep adding as you go to record all your epic Mudder adventures.

Oh, and if anyone wants to do the Illinois Zombie run with me next year, the price goes up on Wednesday:

$67 until October 31, 2012 at 11:59pm EST
$72 until November 14, 2012 at 11:59pm EST

Way to make me a liar! I guess I heard wrong I did see people getting them when I was at the MN one last year though...nuts.

Sorry Matt Now...decisions, decisions, do I enter as a runner, or as running zombie or as a staggering zombie?

RUNNER! RUNNER! RUNNER!!
Its so fun!!!

Day 306.
Its not the 306 pushups. Its having to use a calculator at 5:00am to figure out how many sets of 50 it is because of the brain fog!

I'll be doing the one in Chapmansboro, TN next year!

For some reason, in my head, I thought "300" would be like a hump and once we were over that it would sort of level off.
Nope! Not a hump! Its a hill!
Happy day 314 everybody!!

HA! I did 200 one day last week and my armpits hurt for three days. That's what I get for doing them once a quarter.... I'll try to do at least 300 one day over the weekend just for good measure.

Insanity - day 2. Moving is hard.

Yay! It's a good kind of debilitating pain though, right??

No, it isn't!!!

Listen to your body, don't rock it!

Way to go QCL!!

ah, Big Mac curls..........feel the burn!

That's prolly just acid reflux...

fixed.

I'm on Insanity day 9. Moving is ok...getting a bit easier to make it through the workout.

Cool!

My trainer went a little crunches-and-lunges-and-squats crazy on me on both Saturday and Monday at the gym, and I am "feeling the burn" today. Good grief. I can walk ok, but up and down stairs and getting in and out of the car let me know my muscles are not happy with me today haha.

I love that feeling!

Hit the "gym" this morning for some strength work...boy have I gotten weak in the last few months. I've focused almost exclusively on running, what I actually have a drive and motivation to do, but with it getting frosty and such, I think I can move some focus off of my speed work and onto strength again. I really hate sitting around doing weights and stuff, I don't know what it is, but it bores the heck out of me (doesn't matter what type of music I blast even!). I used to have a partner to lift with, he's now doing everything from home since he had a kid, so I think that's part of why I have no interest in it.

I hope I'm sore tomorrow! Only upper body work, I don't want to mess up my running by tiring my legs out any more than I already do!

Matt, take a cue from the 45 year old Mudder. Mix up your workouts and add off the cuff, out of the box, practical strength exercises. You will get strong and still stay lean.
Keep one or two days of weights in there and go hard on those days. I dont think you will be totally disappointed with the results.
My workout last night included, weighted twists, pullups, dips, chin ups(over hand), military presses, lat pulls, sit ups, crunches, curls, triceps extensions and windshield wipers.
Never got bored and got very tired.

Also get a tire and sledge hammer! Its good exercise and screws with the neighbors heads!
