USMC Mud Run

Against my better judgement the next race on our list of things to accomplish may juse be a mud run.  I know what am I thinking?  Possibly that I am 10 again.  I was the down in the dirt, play in the mud (more of a precursor to playing in the kitchen), trek through the old gravel pit, woods, down by the river type of kid.  And when I found myself playing he back yard it there was more time spent hanging from trees, jungle gyms or my knees than on the ground. 
However 10 was a long time ago.  The desire to play in the mud fell by the wayside when I realised that playing with eggs, flour and sugar was far more rewarding.  Playing with eggs, cheese, fruit and veg isnt bad either.  Hanging from my arms and legs - dont know when i did that last.  I can say I had incredible upper body strength including arms and hands.  Oh and those nasty callouses - childhood nervous tendency - chew on the callouses - HOW GROSS!! 
The race if we were to do the fall race is 6 months from this past Friday.
I suspect that is enough time.  Heck I have a triathlon in 10 weeks - I better be in shape.
Now to find others to join me :)
