Tough Mudder is a go

I will be racing in the Tough Mudder endurance race in Allentown PA.

In order to gain entry into the sold out event I had to record a video showing “What I would do to get into the Tough Mudder race”

So what did I do?

I ran over the Ben Franklin Bridge to Camden NJ, turned around and ran back over the bridge, up Market Street, through Love park, and to the Art Museum via the Ben Franklin Parkway. Finally finishing by running up the ‘Rocky Steps’.

You might think that isn’t very tough. Hell, it’s only 4.3 miles and I just ran a marathon in November. Well let me tell you the tough part:

I did id in the cold rain (38 degrees, 35 mph wind gusts, 2 inches of rain), carrying a 4ft log (31 lbs), wearing a blue tutu.

I hope you get a good laugh and enjoy…

Also, for the record it took me about 48 minutes to complete the run. I was bruised, scratched and frozen.

I’m excited for the actual event on May 2nd.

Now stop reading and give me 50 push ups!
