TOUGH MUDDER .....WITH ROBIN !

Tough Mudder was designed by the British special forces it is made up of about 17 obstacles and the course is about 17 km in distance ! True test of strength both  mentally and physically .What I loved was   how they stress that THIS IS NOT A RACE  THIS IS A CHALLENGE ...help everyone around you  !! I have always believed that a great adventure is always better then the personal best race.For some people they  probably wish it was a race or think whats the point if you aren't timed , but I think those people are missing the point and what important ...team work , love for the people around you ! wanting to see them do well  and most important seeing them complete a goal 
.Our team name was Average Joes  I got this name idea from the movie Dodge ball one of mine Robin , chandlers favorite movies . To me this name  explained our team the best  .We were all  just out  there to have fun work as a team and finish  . Robin recovering from a broken hip that happened few years ago from a car accident and recently  he needed to take the metal plates , screws out of his hip because it was hard for him to walk , run or even sit for long periods of time . I also was still injured form tearing my AC joint in the shoulder from a bike accident and up until a few months ago could hardly do a push up , but thanks to training with Hailey and Courtney I have built up the strength in my shoulder from our boot camps ,. Also with the recent heath problems with my thyroid and low energy  I really was there to  just finish this challenge and with Robin by my side  I knew I would ...together we always get through everything
On our team  Average Joes  :  Tami  my sister , Domo my brother in law , Derek that is Robins best friend , Robin and I 

We started our race at 9 am and finished 4 hrs later . The course was tough .Jumping off the plank that was  15 feet off the ground   into the water  was my favorite event  even though I blew my ear drums once I hit the water from  the pressure of the water and the fact it was ice cold which made it hard to swim and breath . The high light of the day was my sister getting stuck in the mud waist deep and it quickly sinking deeper and deeper , but Domo was able to pull her out . The scariest event  for me was running through the electric wires I was so scared of getting shocked  .  Thankfully I missed  all the wires I felt like I was part of the game frogger or in the matrix tiring so hard not to hit the wires , but Tami and robin got zapped . Robin said he felt it run through his body and exit through his feet .....  I am still amazed by Robin his strength and endurance  he is so strong for someone that hardly trains . I could only imagine if he put his whole heart and effort in to it and trained hard what he would be able to do .what I love is how  not once did Robin complain he just made jokes the whole time and had me smiling laughing and falling more in love with him each second . I honestly can say Robin never looked so sexy , wet ,dirty and full of mud ....I love him with all my heart .
