    There's nothing quite like that "badass motherfucker" feeling that comes after a good workout.

    For me these days, it's more a feeling of being schooled as I hobble home.

    This morning was arms, along with my bodyweight legs exercises. I wasn't great about doing those in Toronto/post T-dot, so my knees were hating me for a while. It really makes a difference when I do my squats, sissy squats, in-place lunges, and calf raises everyday. I foam rolled everything out after my leg stretches. Tight IT bands suck. Rolling that shit out hurts so good.

    The squats are killing my arms... Yep, I forgot how much flexibility it takes to do low bar squats. You really have to squeeze your arms into a fairly uncomfortable position. Funny, up until yesterday ( my forth squat workout ) my arms were handling it well. Today I can barely drive from the pain...

    I still managed to squeak out 325 for 5 on the bench, but curls were near impossible.

    I'm considering—more strongly than I had anticipated—doing a Tough Mudder in mid-October.

    Time to get my ass in gear, I suppose.

    A friend of mine does Tough Mudder. Looks crazy! Her HLP was in the Army and he got her into them. I think you've got it.

    One thing I learned after doing the Dirty Dash is that finishing these things-whether they're designed for fun or punishment-is really about mindset.

    I was totally about to commit to one of these before I learned all the details. The electrification part gives me the heebie-jeebies.

    One day I'd love to do the Tough Mudder and Baraka_Guru I can totally help train you for the electrification field. #electricnads

    Having accidentally grabbed an electric hog fence, you can keep all that electricity to yourself. I'd rather be kicked in the nads

    I read somewhere today that you should skip the electrified obstacles if you have a problem with them. Is that a possibility? I mean, what tough mudder skips things, right?

    The Tough Mudder ones apparently max out at 10,000 volts.

    I may have to run one of those. There's a Zombie race near here in September.

    I don't know anything about Tough Mudder, but anything that DamnitAll needs to get her ass in gear for is probably way outside my reach as of now.

    We used to play with electric fences. Link hands and let the electricity run through us. Occasionally the last person on the chain would shock a passerby.

    ...this explains quite a bit about my childhood. Hmm.

    In other news, I've discovered that morning runs are good for getting it out of the way, and not having to worry about planning around errands and working late. If I am able to go after work, though, I have more time, and I can push myself a little more. Last night I went 3.9 miles. w00t! I wanted to eat EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD when I got home, but it felt pretty awesome.

    And despite having who knows how many bourbons, DamnitAll can still burpee like a NYC breakdancer and could tear the arm out of your socket.

    That is, of course, your Achilles' heel. I'll have Plan9 help you take care of that.

    I bought some socks for running tonight. Cushioned sole, arch support, wicking material.


    I am excited about socks, you guys.

    The obstacles in these kind of races can be "walked around" if you aren't keen (e.g. the electrified ones). I'm just not sure electric shocks sound that fun. Friends were saying one of the adventure races here (run during summer) has an ice bath (not sure how big) with a bar over the top - you have to hold the bar, lower yourself into the ice water then chin up to get out again. I'm not sure that sounds like too much fun either.
