This past week I noticed a Facebook posting from a friend back in Fort Collins, Colorado.  This busy mother of six young children was a participant in something called a “mudder”, or an obstacle course run over some miles involving mud and all manner of climbs, scrambles, crawls and so forth.  Pictures were included.  Apparently she and her husband trade off in child-care and do these occasionally, otherwise doing more mundane lower-intensity work-outs.  During this big challenge experience, you could see the joy in her face lighting up all in her vicinity.

If you are feeling adventurous and wanting to ramp up your work-outs, perhaps it is time to participate in an event that brings on the “tion” – inspiration, perspiration, respiration and expectation for a fun time.  Below are links to upcoming events in the area such as mudders, triathlons, and so forth.  I hope you enjoy the journey you embark on.
