This story is fantastic. I teared up towards the end - I am making it one of my goals to have determination like that. Good on you!

Thanks for sharing, you have inspired me. I am registered for the Carolina's Spartan Beast (same idea, a couple miles longer) next week and I was starting to get worried. I will think of you every time I start having doubts on the course.

I am so incredibly impressed right now! I think I might set this as one of my goals!!!
by one of my goals, I mean one of my ultimate far off bucket list kind of goals.

LOVE!!
I've already pre-registered for 2013 in the hopes of doing more than one. (I'm hoping to do one with my honey and one with a cousin) and I'm giving myself a year to prepare and get badass. Not that I'm not badass now, but I want to be able to do a pull up. This story got me SO psyched for it and so ready, I wish I could go do it now!! :)

OMG, what an inspiration. Reading that gave me a lump in my throat, that boiling water feeling in my belly and I started to tear up. I know how you felt when you wanted to give in and that Marine that gave you that last push that you needed, made my intense feeling of "military family" (i'm a navy wife) surge, giving me goosebumps. What an amazing experience you should be OVERLY proud of yourself! GREAT WORK!

Outside magazine has a great article on the Tough Mudder/other mud runs. The full article is in the November issue. |

You are an inspiration! The tough mudder is on my bucket list. I will start out on a much smaller scale doing the mudathon, but I can't wait to accomplish this feat. Congratulations to you! Seriously amazing journey.

Girl you are way more awesome than I can even pretend to be!! My friends and I were just talking about doing a Tough Mudder yesterday, since I think it was going on this weekend here. We all agreed we probably needed to take baby steps and do a smaller, shorter one first, but you're definitely an inspiration!! Maybe next year I'll finally work up the nerve (and the upper body strength) to do a Tough Mudder too

Amazing account. I've always thought that the people I meet on the course at these events are the reason I keep doing them. It's amazing how a total stranger can say the right thing at the right time to make you keep going.
