A few weeks prior to World's Toughest Mudder I was at the Atlanta event, which was at the same venue.

We’re Not Nameless, We’re Not Faceless, We Were Born for Muddiness
I wish that this blog was about how I reached my goals and everything went perfect and I couldn't have been happier with how my first World's Toughest Mudder went.

In That Mud, Really Thick, Like I Like It, Tell Me Is There Any More Room For Me, In That Mud
Anyone who knows me would tell you that I'm an extrovert, through and through. I can make friends anywhere I go. I get that from my mom.

I know that it's just a matter of time until I find someone to … Continue reading In That Mud, Really Thick, Like I Like It, Tell Me Is There Any More Room For Me, In That Mud
