Rugged Maniac

Yesterday I was on facebook and I saw this advertisement:



Now, that normally doesn't sound like my thing but for some reason I checked out their website. Apparently it is a 5K race that also has obstacles like climbing over 3-7 foot barricades, mud and water in various situations, crawling through tubes, tires, jumping over fire, up and down hills, and you get the picture...

I keep thinking about this and wondering, well, lots of things, but mostly things like "Why am I still thinking about this?", "Would I want to do that?" and "Would I be ABLE to do that?". Now, I don't yet know the answer to any of those questions but I will continue to think about it.

Pros:
Have a reason to exercise and get in shape
Have something interesting to do and look forward to
Have fun with friends and family
Get an "I am a Rugged Maniac" shirt

Cons:
It looks really hard and I can't currently run 5K.
Get muddy and dirty and wet and probably cold
Pay big registration fee (like $60/person)
Potential for injury

Anyways, for some reason or another, I'm seriously considering it. Any thoughts? Anyone up for joining?
