The Inauguration of El Sapo

Hola, mi nombre es El Sapo.  Also known as Loops, B-Turbo, D.Rama, and B-Unit.  Or if you prefer, Brittni. 

Last year I begun a journey to work out more regularly.  And after a few months of tough work, I was on the wagon and working hard.  Then LA Fitness bought out my poor gym and that rocked the wagon so hard I fell off.  After the last few months of sporadic workouts and even runs in the park (before the Valley of the Sun turned into Hell's trashy cousin), GOZO and The Compromise have FORCED me (which they will vehemently deny) into the Tough Mudder Chuckers Team.

I will admit...I was easily persuaded.  Because I have been known in the past to fail myself.  But now I have a group.  A team.  A family.  Who all want to do something nearly impossible and defeat doubts that they either have about themselves or that others have about them.  And I, more than anyone, know that.  I doubt myself all of the time.  In fact, I'm doing that now.  But how can I destroy others' doubts if I still have my own?

So this is the chance to work with a support group to push me farther physically than I could have ever pushed myself.  The ultimate goal is pride. But some strength (mental and physical) as well as weight loss are additional benefits to this project.  I imagine I'll be the blogger who vents and complains and might even be emotional.  Hey, I'm a girl so it's bound to happen.

I'm looking forward to this challenge though and I'm excited to stand by the people who are joining me.  We are Tough Mudder Chuckers.  And we're going to kick your ass.
