Hey ho everybody. Along with Mr Kwark and Mr Monkey, I am one of those rising to the challenge of Tough Mudder South West. I've been overweight for as long as I can remember. I never really thought I would be able to lose weight or do any of this kind of stuff before. But watching my corp mate Big Monkey go from couch potato to Iron Man in 8 months, I said "**** that noise" and committed to getting healthier.
Personal health issues, general laziness, visits to my doctor, reddit, a huge community on Team Liquid itself [dedicated to fitness], friends...none of that got me motivated before. A random guy I'd never met from a video game did. I know of others in EVE who are also partly responsible for this (though it's not my information so I won't say who) as well.
Maybe it's weird that a random guy 3000 miles away from a video game got me motivated at last. Maybe it's weird that I'm telling everyone about this, as I'm generally a pretty private person.
But maybe it's not.
We all decided to do the Tough Mudder amongst ourselves, just because. But when Kwark said "why not ask CCP?" we got all the more enthusiastic. Getting healthier was awesome. Meeting each other at last was going to be super cool ("fetch", if you will). Beating one of the hardest physical events was going to be even better. But if we can do all that and at the same time raise money to get other people healthy, that's just the ****.
We really would like CCP to help us out with this. And if they let us, we really hope the rest of the EVE Universe will help as well.
And if they don't, you can all still join us at Tough Mudder. We welcome any of you to join us.
And to start off the personal chronicles of our progress:
