For the longest time I’ve wanted to do some kind of crazy mud run type race but I’ve never lived in a city that hosts one or is even really close to one.  It’s been something that’s been on my bucket list (I really hate that term! What else can I call it?) for a while so this year I finally commited to one! The closest race to me is 2,500km away, but I don’t care! I’m sucking it up and travelling to Vancouver for the Warrior Dash.  And what makes this even better is that I somehow convinced the missus to sign up and do it with me.  She must really love me. Or simply be as nuts as I am.  Either way, we’re going to have a blast. Don’t know what the Warrior Dash is? Check out the course.   I’m so freakin’ excited to do this!  It’s the first weekend of August and we’re flying down to Vancouver and we’re going to be doing the dash of warriors.  We’re trying to get some of our friends that live in Vancouver to do it with us, but so far I’ve had no luck as they all seem to be a bunch of wusses. Yeah that’s right! I know you’re reading this.  YOU’RE A WUSS! Althoguh, if you read the first 10 points in their waiver, you can see why they may be a wuss. But that’s still NO EXCUSE!
