Obstacle Courses

I've always wanted to do an obstacle mud run.  Usually people get dressed up in costumes, run through crazy obstacles like hay bail hurdles, cargo climbs or wild water crossings plus the illustrious run/crawl through a pit full of mud.  I find my life following my desire to run through an obstacle course full of mud.

When my life is "safe" and I can keep going down the nice paved road with a 55 MPH sign, I decide to take a dirt path with bumps and "DIP" signs that suggest a speed of 15 MPH.  Sometimes the dirt path looks harmless enough, but when I get on it, boy are the bumps rough.  I could have stayed in Reno with my safe life and my safe job with my safe income.  I decided to take the bumpy road to the LA area and although the bumps are rough, and they come up out of nowhere I will make it to my destination.  It's time to fasten my seat belt and hold on!
