Trouble

My wife is worried about the "could result in death" part of this activity and fears that I will die a young age and my kids will not know their father.  I am still in the process of convincing her to let me participate and assuring her that I wont die.  Some of her concerns stem from the fact that I do not have a very high tolerance for pain.  It is not that it hurts too bad it is that my body shuts down for some reason.  Once when I was nine I was kicked in the shin by a little girl I had been teasing.  Next thing I know I am on the ground looking up at her.  My body shut down and I fell to the ground.  In chemistry my sophomore year in high school I was pestering Ant Hill to the point that he felt it necessary to stab me with a pencil and I nearly hit the ground.  Age 19 I was hit with a ball of Silly Putty, yes I said SILLY PUTTY, and I started to have convulsions.  Are my wife's concerns legitimate?  I would argue yes.  But I cannot allow Silly Putty, pencils, and/or mean nine year old girls keep me from living life - I cannot allow the fear of pain to keep me from running through fire or electrical lines. 

The real trouble I am in now is that my wife just found where I had charged the Tough Mudder sign-up fee to the credit card she thought I had closed.
