Rugged Maniac 5K Obstacle Race

I needed a new challenge, so when this opportunity came along, I signed up. I have a lot of time to prepare, but I am pretty freaked out by the obstacles.

Time for some C25K, followed by some I don’t know what.

Have you ever run a race like this? Any advice?

    OH…MY…GOSH! You are into challenges. Just the 5K part is enough for me. No advice, but I admire the heck out of you. :)

    Hey! I also just signed up for the Brooklyn race (my first race – 5k or other) ever! It looks like a blast when done with friends though:) Good luck with your “training” (I’m practicing pull-ups too, lol)!!!
