The Warrior Dash

My friend, Stephanie (on my left in this picture) had run a mud run the following year and was excited to try it again this year, too. After many e-mails back and forth, we finally assembled a team and came up with a plan of action. We all registered to run The Warrior Dash in East Texas in April and all carpooled the 1 hour+ drive up to the race site.
 It was quite a race, let me tell you! I had the torture pleasure of running with my personal trainer who cracked the whip encouraged me and kept me in line for the 3.2 mile trek through woods, over cargo nets, hills, balance beams, lake wading, mud running, barbed wire avoiding, as well as the flaming fire-y, mud-water/pit-crawling finish.

 At the end, you can look forward to things like free beer {if that's your thing} or crazy characters like this one that is wearing flesh-toned pants and a hot pink g-string complete with bunny tail!

All in all, I would totally do it again-- even though it took me a half hour to successfully wash out all the mud that had dried in unmentionable spots everywhere! :)

Just caught up on your blog! You are awesome doing all those races! Jeremy and my brother are doing a mud-run type race in September (I think). There is a kids 1 mile run that Shelby is doing. She is so excited to get to run in the mud. If only I could do it with them! Anyway, good to see you guys are doing well!

This morning I decided to catch up on the blog reader. I had 236 new posts to read!!! I guess with FB and Instagram I'm neglecting the blogosphere:) Thanks for the catch up! I need to update mine. I guess:)

Um..., that's crazy!!! I have a friend trying to talk me into one of these. But I have a feeling this would be my cause of death and I have. 4 kids who depend on me ;)
Great job, I am thoroughly impressed!
