Are you TOUGH enough?

Apparently Rob is TOUGH! He participated in the TOUGH MUDDER in the Poconos. He completed a 12 mile course with 27 obstacles in about 4 hours. As a spectator I was only able to view a few of the events, but I was Rob's biggest fan.




Getting PUMPED! 


Men will be boys!




Pep Talk



Here they are dumping ice into a shipping container that is filled with water...


... they had to immerse themselves in the icy cold water, thus the name - Arctic Enema



Walking the Plank (15 ft. high)




Mt. Everest




Some obstacles were harder than others ;)


Rob got zapped pretty good by the Electric Eel 


Watch out for Twinkle Toes


Waiting for the group to finish together





Electroshock Therapy



Everyone finished




Everyone is feeling a sense of great accomplishment


Rob trained hard for this event. He came away freezing cold...


... muddy, and tinted blue. He is ready to do the whole crazy thing again.


What's even more crazy is I am seriously considering doing it with him down the road.

Yeah he looks cold, but that is awesome! And Steph, you are crazy thinking about doing it with him. Ha ha ha!!

Oh my gosh - so much to say here and I have no words.

We're really proud of Rob. Proud and shocked - because there's no way we would talk ourselves into doing that one. You go Steph if you're contemplating it for next year :)

It was great to see Steve and Hillary in the group - so fun! But it looks SO cold. Oh gosh - I would never survive that.

So glad he survived...
