Didn't know you were a Marine. Thanks for your service.

I want to do one but don't think I have the stamina. I have friends who have done it and loved it. Pictures are great. Everyone gets covered in mud and there's a mountain pile of shoes at the end of the event. I'm jealous and want to do one.

thank u for your service; impressive!

I will have to train for this and I appreciate the support. Once I decide to do something, it is gonna happen. I just need to figure out the venue, since I have options. I know I can't do it this year : (

**phoenix44** · 06-22-2012, 09:59 PM

I did one in April and we are doing the KY one in Oct.
They are fun. Not really that hard if you are/were an athlete. Worst part is the 10,000 volt shocking. Monkey bars and rings were tough mostly because your wet and freezing cold so it's hard to grip. The Artic Enema was rough that water is amazingly cold

I don't understand how people don't finish. But it's a great experience every helps everyone.

**DSM4Life** · 06-23-2012, 05:56 AM

I will be there this oct!

**stpete** · 06-23-2012, 06:34 AM

**DSM4Life** · 06-23-2012, 06:41 AM

Looking for a new challenge.

Hey I hope you can get some from here who live nearby to go run with you. Take some pics too and post them. And if it goes over well it might be able to turn into a yearly event. Eh who knows?

PS I can see it now our very own AR Run-A-Thon...

**Times Roman** · 06-23-2012, 10:44 AM

used to train with the army rangers when i was younger, most of it was fairly easy.

would be cool if you let us know how it goes?

Actually not a bad idea to recruit military types. I will not run alone - this is certain.

I can't image "outfits" for tough mudder! I saw some crazy costumes for warrior dash tho....too funny!

I know I can't do the TM alone and I don't think I will have too : ) Just need to market this to the right peeps!

300 leg presses to 90 degree with 1.5x your body weight.. your stamina will be just fine..

hmmmm, not sure I can do 300 in one workout...and I don't really want my quads to get that big, but thanks.

unless you are taking test and or consuming 200-300 g protein in a day everyday you will not.. what it does increase mitochondria count and capability,

example my wife lost 2" on her inner thigh doing just this type of training.. 125g protein per day 135lbs 5'9"..
