Tomorrow kicks off the 2011 Tough Mudder Florida in Dade City. Hundreds if not thousands will test themselves in an extreme race that has lit itself on fire (literally) over the course of the last decade. It's an awesome way to re-motivate yourself and keep your fitness alive.

Tough Mudder events are hardcore 10-12 mile obstacle courses designed by British Special Forces to test your all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. With the most innovative courses, half a million inspiring participants, and more than $2 million dollars raised for the Wounded Warrior Project, Tough Mudder is the premier adventure challenge series in the world.

I'm very proud my clients Jason & Tricia Will, and Erika Sanjuan will be grinding their faces in the mud this weekend at Tough Mudder. These three are exceptional people not because of their natural athleticism but because they have a trait that only successful people have: the desire to conquer new things. I always say, if you are simply training for the sole purpose of a better physique, happiness will temporarily come. Such a goal carries little freight in your heart and you are on a track that will surely derail. Get out there and DO, form will follow. No fat man has ever seen the top of Mt. Everest. If you want even a glimpse, get your can outside and learn to have fun. This is what life's all about and I'm reminded of a favorite quote that I want to share:
"There is no greater joy in life than doing what others say you cannot."
