Type the word "Grueling" into Google and the above definitions are first few things that show up.  I would add one more - the Dirty Dog 15k Trail Run.

 The race is one week from today and I'm starting to get excited about it.  I know I'm not ready for it.  I know the course will chew me up and spit me out, like it did last year (2011 DD15k race report).  But still, I can't wait to get out there and try it again. 

 

You could say I'm a glutton for punishment.  I prefer to say I'm facing a challenge head on.  Bring in on Dirty Dog, bring it on!
