Psh, like I think I'm that epic.
Nope, this isn't an epic story of space battles and vaguely magical powers. It's just the story of one nerd who has taken on a quest of utmost importance to very few people other than herself:
To kick major ass at the Tough Mudder challenge in January, 2012.
For those of you who are not aware, the Tough Mudder Challenge is a grueling, messy, painful, positively masochistic race and obstacle course held in various locations throughout the year. Since Austin is closest to me, and I couldn't possibly be ready in time for the 2011 challenge, I'm shooting for next year. You know, next next year.
I know that the boundaries between geekdom and jockdom have long been shattered, but I never really got that memo. Basically I just want to sit and watch Quantum Leap or play Fallout: New Vegas - I don't really want to exercise. I mean, I like it all right, it's fun and gets the endorphins going, but when it comes down to just deciding that you're going to do it, well...that's when I get distracted by a shiny modded shotgun or a new trailer for Cowboys and Aliens.
I'll be chronicling my journey (aren't you just sick of that phrase?) with this blog. Aren't you lucky? You'll get to follow me every step of the way.
Watch me go from a flabby, lazy, non-committal, lazy, non-athletic geek to a smoking hot, muscular, ass-kicking, awesome...geek.
Oh, and because I've decided I hate all athletic wear everywhere, so I have opened my own line of geeky running apparel, which you can find HERE. Check it out! I take only a small commission, because I'd like to see people wearing these. You know, for posterity.
