The Ultimate Challenge - Insanity? Yes!

Yes indeed, I am officially losing my mind (and seriously questioning my mental stability).  I made a commitment last week to join a team of Tough Mudders.  Not just any team - a team that consists entirely of 20 and 21 year olds!  In hindsight I wonder if they invited me to race so a) they look really good beside a fat, old gal or b) because it truly is fun to mock the weak!  How on earth I plan to do this I have no idea.  My upper body strength is nil (think struggling through maybe five girly push ups).  Hell, I don't even like carrying groceries into the house!  Five months to train!   I had to honestly admit to a friend today that, yes I am stressing out about this adventure but my first and most consuming concern is how bad my hair is going to look.  What does that tell ya?  I might just be a little out of my element.  I will keep you posted.
