Three Time Mudder.......Should she go for a 4th?

After three consecutive years of completing Tough Mudder Wisconsin, I took this year off with the intent to go into permanent retirement.  I even took the orange headband down from my rear view mirror in the mini van.  Yes.  I had a Mudder headband hanging in my mini van.  It kept me going some days, I'll tell you.

I love Mudder.  There is NOTHING that makes me feel so alive and bad-ass.  I am proud of my marathon completion and plan to run another, but Tough Mudder is in a different league.  I'm sort of a loner.  Mudder Nation embraces the TEAM.  I loved that part, surprisingly.  In fact, I was just reading this blog post after completing the first one.  Such memories!

My most recent team included some great friends, including Rob!  Running it with him was a wonderful experience.


Even though Electroshock Therapy left him a little dazed....as you can see.


As he was every year, my dad was among our spectators, and I got him muddy this time.


Made it up Everest!


Got to do the Legionaire's Loop obstacles


And I was airborne for lots of yardage


Three-Time Mudder!


Taking the leap....quite literally


Thankful to have all completed in one piece (except for a broken bone in my foot that happened on Mile 3 but was not discovered until almost 4 months later.)


Quite a team - Your Mother 2014



Bad Ass


Yes.  It was very cold.  Debilitating.



I'll let you know what I decide.
