Call me urbane, but until I saw this book I never realized that there was such a sport(?) as running mud obstacle courses! In fact, when I first saw the title of this book, I thought that this was some author's attempt to cleverly title a book for first time mothers on raising children! Mud bogging? sure, I've heard of that; after all, my roots are in the deep South. Mud wrestling? Yep, I know about that, too. But, running mud obstacle courses? Never had heard of it.
Yes, I know that there is likely no one watching this thread--probably no Mobilereader at all--who is a mudder or aspires to be one. But when I saw this book I thought that the premise of the book was so funny that I had to post it. And, who knows, some Mobilereader may download the book, read it, and decide that badminton and croquet is just not satisfying enough and decide to take up this activity. haha
