and, for my next trick...

My labmate, her boyfriend, one other friend, and I just registered for what appears to be my next race. It's called the Warrior Dash, and is a 5K run with 11 obstacles along the way. When I say obstacles, I mean...OBSTACLES:

*Warrior Wall - conquer the wooden barricade

* Breathless Bog - trudge through waist deep water and over the logs

*Walk the Plank - traverse the gully on wooden planks

*Knee High Hell - speed step through hundreds of tires

*Tunnels of Terror - burrow through the black tunnels

*Black Forrest - forge your way through uncharted forrest

*Hay Fever - hustle up and over giant straw bales

*Junker Jump - clamber over the rusted wreckage

*Cargo Climb - maneuver over the cargo nets

*Warrior Roast - leap over the warrior fires

*Muddy Mayhem - scramble beneath barbed wire as you near the finish
