Here we are just before the race, all clean and stuff (and practicing for the "carry your partner" obstacle).

I was so nervous the night before Mudderella that 10PM found me pacing around the house, packing and re-packing my tote bag, checking and double-checking whether I actually owned running sneakers (somewhat surprisingly, yes), and obsessively drinking water just in case I arrived at the location of the run only to discover a desert filled with race organizers who had been replaced by water-depriving gremlins.

I was actually less worried about the obstacles themselves - climbing over walls and mud-hills, crawling under nets, sliding into pools of water (mud) - than I was about the running...because for real: I am not a runner. I feel like I look ridiculous doing it; I'm virtually guaranteed to get a stitch in my side after .5 seconds; treadmills are my Angry Place; et cetera.

So there's this quiz that you can take on the Internet, and it might just change your life.

No, I'm not talking about the "Which Cruel Intentions Character Are You?" quiz, although that one's pretty great (I'm Annette, which is annoying, because obviously Kathryn would be much more fun). I'm talking the Five Love Languages quiz.

I'm a little embarrassed about jumping on board the Internet Armchair Psychology train, but for real: it's kind of amazing.
