I signed up, not much training tho

Ran the BMO half to get an idea of how far 10 miles is....its fucking FAR. Simply moving 10 miles is tough enough let alone the obstacles. I get back from Europe the previous sunday so I will try to get some running and lifting in before that.
Did anyone buy gloves for this? It seems like everyone wears them but I can't figure out what type to buy (UA Tough mudder ones don't seem to be in Canada).
