At least we won't have to do this one.

I am trying to figure out how it's possible to twist one's ankle and not feel pain. Are you human?

My wife asked that same question. The last time I felt pain with my ankle....I broke it.

I may get a quick, short, jolt of pain, not exactly sure, but it never stops me from continuing on with my walk totally pain free. However this time the pain apparently caught up to me.

OK, I'm going to say it...that is just plain crazy

@gpseymour did it when he did the full Tough Mudder. But that was in the summer.

I never claimed we were sane.

It is. And it's worse than it sounds - at least, worse than it sounded to me. I honestly thought for a moment I'd forget how to swim about halfway through that, and it took about 5 minutes of walking and jogging to start feeling normal again.

I think I get to skip it the next time I do a Full Mudder (there are privileges for doing it again), but I'm already considering I might just do it, anyway.

You realize if you decide to do this again, I'll have to go with you because I am more resistant to cold... And haul my Hobbit bum over the entire ten miles to get you out of that thing alive.

Yeah ice sucks

 

[AngryHobbit]

Yeah ice sucks

Not always. When applied to a bruised knee, it's actually a very good thing. But yeah... a full dip is a bit out there.

Just a piece of advice. If it's cold and downpouring outside DON'T go outside barefooted with shorts and a t-shirt. Not a good idea.

Yeah, that short submersion gave me an ice cream headache for a couple of minutes.

Nah, you don't have to do the 10-miler. I won't really know if I'm going to decide to do the ice again until I either climb in or bypass it. Far too late at that point for you to register.

It would be... interesting... I know I can walk 10 miles - theoretically. Well... not even theoretically - since I've done the 60-mile cancer walk, so 20 miles a day. It was insane - but I am in a much better athletic shape now. But the obstacles... UGh....

We are wearing the long-sleeve and long-leg stuff. Still gonna get cold and clammy since it's going to be... well... cold... and clammy... and we'll be dipping into some mud pools up to our chins. There is a reason one of the obstacles is called "Kiss of mud".

The added obstacles are less to your liking.

Things like that are often rough. Thumbs up for the confidence - I am sure you'll find your path.

Thank you, taking some time to really relax, meditate and eat cookies.

You sound like me Friday a week ago.
Except I spend most of the day trying to regain my composure.

Ah yep, I was a bit of a wreck at times yesterday, emotional about leaving, but I'm sure we both know it was for the best and out of a certainty in our decision

Just stopped at the village shop to pick up milk, chap behind the counter had tobacco out waiting for me...

Just about 28 years of smoking - not even tempted.



Yeah, ok, only been three days - but that's the longest I've not smoked (barring illness).

Awesome to hear man
