We Did It!


Like I said on Friday, the hubby and I ran with friends in the Camp Pendleton World Famous Mud Run this past Saturday morning.

IT WAS AWESOME!

We spent 6.2 miles running up hills, climbing over walls, getting sprayed with fire hoses, crawling under nets and swimming through mud pools and everyone loved every second of it.


I have no idea how long it took us but we made it to the end and linked arms as all 10 of us ran through the finish line.

I CANNOT WAIT to do it again!

We couldn't stop laughing throughout the run and one of my favorites moments was when we were swimming through a mud pool with mud up to our neck and one of my friends yelled out "I cannot believe we are doing this!"

We are all excited about doing it again next year.

When it was all over, I took the best hot shower ever and kicked back at a friend's home with a big glass of wine.
It was the perfect way to re-cooperate.

In other news, I also found the triathlon that I committed to doing this year.
I am so excited and now have two months to get ready for it.

The Mud Run was I all needed for a little more motivation.

Happy Monday!

Friday...


We are almost there.
Baseball has now ended (with a 1st place tournament finish I might add!).
We are all over homework.
School is out next week.
The weather is warming up.
Summer, we are ready.
I mean, REALLY ready.

And as everything winds down, I embark into the weekend extremely apprehensive about tomorrow.  The hubby and I committed to running on a team for the Camp Pendleton Mud Run and now it is here.  Back on January 1st when we were asked to be a part of the team, it sounded like a blast.  Now, when it is a few hours away, I am beginning to ask myself what we were thinking.  Six miles is not the problem.  No, I am not worried about that at all.  It is the fire hoses, mud pools, huge hills, walls and crawling under wire that has me a tad bit nervous.  Everyone keeps telling me that it is going to be a blast, and I am sure it will be, as long as I do not pass out or break any bones along the way.  The plus side is that perhaps it will be like taking a very long, excruciating mud bath and my skin will look fabulous afterward.  Who knows.  Even the promo scares me.



I will be sure to update everyone next week if and when I survive.
