As we've been at work, at home, and amongst our family getting excited and talking incessantly about Tough Mudder, lots of people have been saying lots of nice things about how impressed they are with our decision to enter...
Which while lovely to hear, has started ring alarm bells for me after watching this video about how telling people your goals actually makes it less likely that you'll achieve them. Wise words of warning to those of us blogging about the experience of preparation:
I'm almost wishing I was like some of our team-mates who are having friends laugh when they find out, saying "Oh, you can't do that!!!" - And when you see the steely determination in their eyes to prove them wrong you can understand how, in some ways, that could be a better motivator.
