Friday Feel Good Feature- Tonight’s inspiring story:
You’ve heard of the Tough Mudder races, right? You do a rough obstacle course and run miles and get all beat up and dirty. Well, maybe not you, but certainly super healthy people who like punishment and……….. 83 year old Mildred Wilson. A couple weeks ago, Mildred crawled through an 60 foot, muddy water trench which had an electric fence above it in case anyone decided to try and stand up. She climbed over 12 foot obstacles. She ran miles across the course. Mildred is the oldest person ever to do a Tough Mudder. And this one was her 3rd.
Does she have super genetics going for her? No. She just refuses to sit still. Mildred says she walks a couple miles a day and plays Pickleball a few times a week. She ran this course with her son and with a purpose, to raise money for clean water wells in Africa.
She also said that anyone who wants to take on one of these courses should go for it, with their doctor’s permission.
