You signed up for WHAT?!

So, have YOU heard of ToughMudder?  I hadn't until a week ago.  But once I heard it took me just a few days to determine that this was for me.  Then it took me just a few minutes to ask my self, "WHAT were you thinking?!"

This blog serves as an opportunity for others to follow and watch me either succeed, or fail wildly.  Either way, I'm guessing it'll be entertaining. All that I can say is that on May 5th when I have that orange headband in my grasp... I'll have accomplished something that's a little nuts, but a lot of fun! 

Here's a look at my Facebook post...consider it a toast to all of my great, crazy, wonderful, friends and family that thought I could do this!

 

Kirsten Smith

Seriously considering this... http://toughmudder.com/. I know... I KNOW, I'm SO not in shape to do this. But I COULD be. My cousin-in-law, Sarah Brian Bauch, is in it with me if I say yes. So that's a team of two. And Amanda German and Samantha Schulz are in. So maybe that's 4 people already on our team??? Oh my... am I REALLY considering this?????

A definition of "Crisis" btw,: "A crisis (plural: "crises"; adjectival form: "critical") (from the Greek κρίσις, krisis) is any event that is, or expected to lead to, an unstable and dangerous situation affecting an individual, group, community or whole society. More loosely, it is a term meaning 'a testing time' or an 'emergency event'." when the shoe fits. . . )
