I first heard of the Tough Mudder from the Slate Magazine Podcast. I don't listen to it any more, (when they went from daily readings of their stories with a weekly discussion of the news to daily discussions of the news I stopped listening,) but it was pretty good back in the day.
Anyway, it's an obstacle-course race designed by former British Special Forces. (I'm not sure if i needed to capitalize any of that. Also, the Wikipedia article just mentions them being British Citizens.) Doing this is hard. It's just under a half marathon mixed with fairly punishing obstacles.
I was all psyched to do it this year, (I even found a team,) and then I got cancer. I'm not sure I can run more than three miles at a time on regular ground, nevertheless deep mud. So, I was all excited to check this one off for this year, but it's getting delayed.
