When first approached with participating the Tough Mudder Challenge, I checked out the website to see what it was all about. I found my heart racing and my breathing become rapid at the sight of crawling through darkened tunnels, darting through 110 volts of live wire and jumping off 15ft platforms! I was thinking, \u201cI\u2019m too old for this!\u201d Consequently, I declined joining the AVC Elite Tough Mudd\"Elite-Training-Happy-Hour\"er Team<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to about a month later to a happy hour with AVC Elite Members.\u00a0 After two Chardonnays, I was on board!\u00a0 I was still scared but committed! I knew I could run the 12 miles<\/a>, but all those obstacles!<\/p>\n

Amy created a comprehensive program to begin in October. Just prior to this I incurred an injury to my lower back, pirisformis and sciatica. Uh, oh, could I do this now?<\/p>\n

I attempted the training with Amy creating modifications for my injury. This assistance along with physical therapy, allowed me to pursue my goal. With persistent effort and Amy\u2019s guidance during training, I was able to run 13 miles and complete the obstacles she devised.<\/p>\n

\"tough-mudder-training-modifications\"Amy created tunnels, found fences for us to jump over, parks with monkey bars, climbing walls,<\/a> as well as, 6ft. walls to scale (with other members\u2019 help of course). She maintained constant communication, support and advice to the TM team.<\/p>\n

Amy’s technical guidance allowed me to cope with my injury and improve its status. On February 23, 2013, I along with my fellow teammates completed the Tough Mudder challenge without injury and with smiles on our faces! \"Happy-58th-Tough-Mudder\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I truly believe it was Amy\u2019s intense and supportive coaching that allowed for such a successful outcome for all. I felt an achievement in overcoming some long held fears and coping with an injury that could have side lined me for a long time. It was the best 58th Birthday present I could have given myself!<\/p>\n

Thanks Amy for your all your guidance and support!<\/p>\n
