This weekend I competed in a mud run in Lathrop with some of the girls. Leading up to it, I kept wondering what the heck I was thinking. I don't care to be dirty, but I kept telling myself it would be fun, a bit of an adventure. Plus, both my running buddies were going. And it was super fun. There were 16 obstacles (mud pits, monkey bars, ropes, etc) and the first one was a pool of super muddy water with bunting 8 inches above the surface so were were all getting down and dirty crawling through the mud. After that you're committed! I wore a pair of shoes that I just tossed at the end. Man, we were all dirty! Luckily there were showers. It was so much fun and I can't wait for next year! The total distance was 3.47 miles and It took me 45 minutes. Not very fast (I was there to have fun), but I ran pretty much the entire time! I had a sharp rock in my sock that was hurting my big toe so bad! I was 43 out of 244 in my age group, and 900 out of 4684 overall.
