I was wondering if any NJ area Banders would be interested in doing the Tri-State Tough Mudder in Englishtown, NJ this November. Check it out @ ToughMudder.com. Its an awesome event for and even more Awesome cause. Anyone interested in joining me, let me know! Ive done 2 so far and its by far one of the best post band things I have conquered!

Did you find it difficult? We are debating about participating in the Tough Mudder in Texas later this year - I am really intimidated by it I did the Warrior Dash without any problem in April, but the TM scares me.

Its def not for the faint at heart. Its not timed, so you have from when it starts to when it ends to finish. It was validating for me in a way. I've done the Warrior Dash too and TM is much more intense. Dont be intimidated! Even if you dont finish, you still have more guts than most people

Its funny you post this because I just saw an add for the tough mudder yesterday on facebook. I too was intimidated by it at first but I think my wife and I will compete in it.

Awesome! I'm not in your area, but I just made this a goal for myself! I'm getting banded at the end of this month, and I want to compete in one about a year from now. I haven't heard much about the Warrior Dash - is that less than 12 miles? Might be a good mid-point goal for me.

The idea of doing this excites me WAY MORE than a marathon.

Warrior Dash is 3 miles. The one I did had about 15 obstacles. It is timed but it really doesn't matter. I did it in an hour with my 14 year old daughter. So much fun. We are participating in Run the Jailbreak in September.

This looks fun. We have been talking about doing this as a fun way to lose more weight and keep active. We talked about training around town doing different things in order to prep for how hard it might turn out to be. I'm excited!

I did an 8K with a one hour boot camp last year. This year I did a run a Darlington Speedway and Gladiator 5K. Gladiator was about 3 miles with 12 obstacles. I finished 552 out of 776. In August I an doing the Warrior Dash near Charlotte
