I was so torn. I wanted to be able to do it. I wanted to quit and not put myself through it. In the end, I decided I couldn't handle being so mad and disappointed with myself if I didn't do it. So I did it!
The Warrior Dash 5K Obstacle Course! I didn't run and I had to sit about three times to catch my breath up the long, long hills that started the course off that first mile. But, with a little help from my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, I did every darn obstacle!
The over and under walls, the gang plank (which I fell off of and a spotter caught me), the first rope wall, the military crawl, tire run, (a huge hill that almost killed me), the cargo net crawl, lake trudge, the ledge walk, the monster wall (that scared the crap out of me, but I did it with a push on the butt from my brother in law), the rock wall and pole slide, trench crawl, cargo net wall, fire leap, and horrendous mud pit.
I am so proud that I actually did it! Woo-hoo! And I might sign up for the Dirty Girls Mud Run in September. It's supposed to be easier and more fun and it raises money for Breast Cancer Research. I'd do the Color Run (which would be a color walk for me), but it's already got a wait list.
Here's a muddy picture of me and my team! Left to right: me, my brother-in-law and my sister-in-law.

I would die - both from 5K and from getting so dirty - I'm impressed!
