Tough Mudder - Can I do it?

When was the last time you did something you weren't sure you could do?  For me, it has been a long time!  I mean something that you said, I really don't know if I will be able to physically and mentally complete this challenge.  I have a friend who wanted to complete a Tough Mudder competition before she turned 50, but she didn't want to do it alone.  When she asked me to train and do it with her, my first thought after watching footage of these crazy people was, does she really consider me a friend?  What friend would ask you to run 12 miles through 27 VERY challenging obstacles - including running through a tunnel of electrodes?

I realized I would need a significant reason to train and complete this course, because I was not the one turning 50 anyway! And one day it dawned on me, you are actually afraid of this challenge.  I had to give pause and realize, it has been a long time since you were afraid you couldn't do something.  Isn't this what you encourage clients to do everyday?  Well, there is my motivation.  I am going to train for and complete this Tough Mudder, simply because I am not sure I can.  I will prove to myself that I can go to the next level.

  When was the last time you attempted something you didn't think you could do?

 Go to the next level.  Take a risk and see how strong you really are.

  Event training puts a deadline on your goal.
