Another Total Warrior

Have just noticed that the Total Warrior (Leeds) is 27th June 2015 by a strange twist of fate guess what day my birthday is so as a 53yr old giving myself a birthday present guess what l am going to be doing on 27th June 2015 and if the answer is wallowing in mud then you guessed correctly     

Will also enter the lakes one in August as l want to beat my time and welllll l dunno keeping an open mind on things but Mudsticle is a good site if anyone wants to try some OCR l am not sure l wont do more  

wow, lol thats very cool and what a great way to spend a birthday, birthdays these days are non events so that sounds like a great idea and a great way to motivate for some fitness pain, you rock!

Thanks Andy l am using it as an excuse l have never been into birthdays, Xmas etc, they come each year so why get excited over them so never bother. My parents and Brian's mum the only ones l buy/bought stuff for at Xmas and Birthdays but l felt this was to good an excuse to pass up, l love a good excuse to do something   

Looks brilliant, how far is the course ? Looks similar to Tough Mudder ?

10km and 30 obstacles the lakes l walked so now working on my running to improve my time it was 3hrs 19mins l missed about 4 which were walls and l would like to have a go at takcling them. my PT says l have to build upper body strength.

The Sunday ones are 10 miles with same obstacles and the extra is as fell running as opposed to more obstacles.

l was sort of trying the running training before but hated it. Now l know what's involved l shall have something to build on, by the same token a lot of stress is off because l know l can do it walking if l need. I don't like running so it is somehow easier not HAVING to do so but doing it because l want to if that makes sense?

Makes perfect sense. I would now try to run a little, then walk, and build from there. Mind you, even walking the whole thing looks like a great workout and good fun. As for the walls, it's not all about upper body strength, there is technique with that too ! Well done, Mo

I certainly wish you ......
