That's right - I'm dirty. I'm muddy. I'm freaking AWESOME. This hot mama just ran 6.2 miles and completed 29 obstacles in (approximately) an hour and 5 minutes. I was worried, not even looking at the website to see the obstacles before hand. However, I showed up in the brightest shirt possible and the tightest shorts imaginable (to protect the lady parts from the mud), and I FREAKING ROCKED IT. I had a blast. I ha so much fun that I decided Sunday's Resolution is to sign up for another mud run!!!!!
A few pictures:
5 miles in and just out of the woods/trail area... into the open field (hence the ability for a picture) -- waiting for the next obstacle...
Getting hosed off! I had so much fun!!!
We had a wonderful (and emotional) weekend. We signed our house away. I cried. A lot. We did one last walk through and wrote a letter to the new owners. They are a young couple who are getting married in the upcoming months. They will be moving in April 1, 2012. It's bitter sweet. I will always love and miss that house, but I am so happy that it will have life in it once again!
Saturday was the mud run. I knew it would be 6.2 miles and 25-30 obstacles. The night before, we were at my in-laws drinking a beer and having a fun night. It was pouring. I mean monsooning outside. At that point, I basically said screw it and had a few more beers. I knew the course would soon become a lake and just laughed it off, thinking there would be no way to run it at all. Somehow though the woods were not flooded on Saturday morning, and I became a bit nervous. I used the restroom a few times.... cleared out the pipes, and swallowed the nerves. I entered the race with the mindset of "I will not compete... This is just for fun" Then the damn gun blew. I cannot not compete. There's something about 100 people being let loss at the same time with a finish line to cross. I just can' not try to pass people. The friends I was running with with were just running for fun, and I annoyed them to the point were they told me to just run ahead. I sprinted ahead and loved every step of the run! I crawled through, swam through, and jumped in and out of MUD. I cannot wait for the next race!!!
We spent Sunday at an art festival and playground. John took a few great pictures of me with the kids, and because I'm always the one behind the camera, I'm going to share them!
Sunday's Resolution: Sign up for another mud run! DONE ---- John is joining me this time.... April 14, 2012 in Savannah. The Big Nasty Mud Run! Come get dirty with us!!!!
Monday's Resolution: Learn how to use the grill.
John started with the regular ole charcoal grill. I learned how to add charcoal, start it and cook some hot dogs. (yes hot dogs... I guess they are fool proof!) I'll learn the smoker someday - MAYBE - if he ever wants to share those secrets!
Tuesday's Resolution: Get a tan...
How the hell do I do that with two babies running (crawling) around?!?!?!?
