Another group run with the local chapter of Who's Up? One of the guys likes to document the weekly run to post to our Facebook page, so we get a picture of the beer and a group picture each week.
Tonight Bane decided to join us for the run:
Actually that's a guy who is training for the World's Toughest Mudder in November. The mask simulates the difficulty of breathing at altitude, and for tonight's run he had it set to 15,000 feet. I think this was also his third run of the day. And people say marathoners are crazy.
He finished 74th last year out of several hundred competitors, and is aiming to finish in the top 20 this year.
There was a time when I was thinking of trying to qualify for the World's Toughest Mudder. But now they've done away with qualifying so that anyone can sign up, which strangely eliminates the appeal for me. They've also moved it from NJ to Las Vegas which would make it much more expensive for me. The third nail in the coffin is that it is now the same weekend as the Philly Marathon.
Guess I'll stick to marathoning.
