Mud Run


Oh. My. Goodness. The mud run was pretty brutal. Beyond the obvious mud, there were giant mountains to climb, crawling in pits, jumping walls and pipes, two thousand people to navigate around, and bombs going off in your ears. We did the 5k, a little over three miles. I have dirt in my hair still, even after much scrubbing. Shall I do it again?? I say yes. Camp Pendleton offers two mud runs a year, and the next one is in June! Brett said he would do it with me. Until then, we will find some new races to keep us busy.

These photos are in no particular order.

Sometimes I leap over walls.Desiree and her Dad, Casey. GO GO!

Desi and I, after it was over. Phew!

This must have been what the kids were busy doing while they waited.

This was out of the starting gate, look at all those people!

Dad its so hot already!

Bill and Priscilla came out to watch us.

Thats Brett's sister Michele, she beat me by over fifteen minutes. Michele runs half marathons and plays lots of soccer. She is fast.

Michele going up a woop-dee-doo, followed by her 17 year old son, Alex. He finished right next to his mom. Nice job!

jeniflower, the only way you would make the finish line is if i had a bowl of hotdogs covered in ketchup waiting for you.

Looks like it was worth all the effort you gave it. I guess now you don't need to pay for a mud bath at a spa.
