Run in Mud Obstacle Race Training-Winter Edition

I am writing this while thinking of our Winter warriors locked in their homes escaping the arctic and blizzard conditions. Never give up, stay warm, safe, and know many of us are praying for a quick thaw. For those of you experienced mud runners, you probably know what to do to keep motivated in the most austere conditions. For those of you just beginning, here's a workout to keep you motivated and less apt to cabin fever.

You can do this while stuck inside. It comes from years of travel, army training and many workouts in limited space.
