6. Wiggle Your Toes Day
In general, improving your fitness is a solitary pursuit. You may have a group of gym regulars you see frequently, but it’s rare for you to all be doing the same exercises at the same time. While this personal journey has its own rewards, sometimes you want to test yourself against others. Many people enter a 5K or other race to see how far they’ve come, but the most exercise-obsessed among us may want to seek a greater challenge. If you fall under that umbrella, consider these over-the-top events that aren’t for the faint of heart.

TOUGH MUDDER
9. Book Lover’s Day
The Tough Mudder is so difficult that it isn’t even considered a race; it’s simply a test of endurance over a grueling 10-mile course filled with various obstacles. Per the organization’s website, “Tough Mudder isn’t about how fast you can cross the finish line. It’s about pushing yourself — and your team— to discover what you’re really made of.”While there are 5K and half versions of the challenge, the Tough Mudder Full is the main attraction. While obstacles vary from event to event, you can expect to see a few signature challenges on every course. These include “Arctic Enema,” a dive into a dumpster filled with ice water; “Electroshock Therapy,” a trudge through a pit of mud with live electrical wires hanging overhead; and “Everest,” a climb up a quarter pipe slicked with mud and grease.
