Hello fellow Primers,
I have just registered to run in the Tough Mudder race being held at the Beaver Creek Ski Area this June 26th.
What is the Tough Mudder? Other than my possible death, the Tough Mudder is an endurance race. The course will cover approx 8 miles, during which I will run up a ski mountain, climb over 12ft walls, squeeze through plastic tunnels, squirm through the mud, climb cargo nets, swim under obstacles floating in cold water, run up hill carrying a log, swing like a monkey, wade in a creek, get sprayed by a fire hose, ride a slip-n-slide into a cold pond, wade through a swamp, climb over 8ft obstacles, run down hill, climb over large stacked hay bales, crawl through a snow covered half pipe, ride down another slip-n-slide into another pond, subject myself to some sort of mystery obstacle, get tazed, and then finally finish by running through a corridor of fire....
Ought to be a good time.
As a bonus- I will do all of this at a mean altitude of 9500 ft.
So where do you come in? Well, as part of my commitment to participate in this event it is my distinct honor to be raising funds for the Wounded Warrior Project. Wounded Warrior Project began when several individuals realized that something needed to be done to help our wounded soldiers returning from Iraq, and Afghanistan . The resulting objective was to provide tangible support for the wounded and help them on the road to healing, both physically and mentally. Wounded Warrior Project is a nonprofit organization. So give whatever you would like. All donations go to this great cause. This is one way to say "THANK YOU" to those wounded soldiers who have given us so much.
I do not have a minimum objective for raising these funds, but I set my first personal goal at $1000. As of this posting I am proud to say that I have raised $830 toward the cause, thanks to the support of several friends and relatives who apparently want to see me put myself through this meat grinder of a race.
You too can donate HERE. The fundraising site is run by the organizers of the event, I would prefer not to accept any donations personally.
I am currently training 6 days a week in preparation for this event. I will post pics, and maybe some video of the race here in the aftermath.
Thanks everyone! Tell your friends!
Sincerely,
Philip Glorioso
