Muddy Buddy

Well, I had been wanting to set some goals this year and one of my most anticipated ones has come and gone.  My good friend Amber and I decided in January that we wanted to try our luck at a 10K.  We chose the Camp Pendleton Mud Run because honestly, who doesn’t want to play in the mud?!  When everything was said and done, the obstacle course/run included the 6ish miles of running, a few walls to climb over, a lake that we ended up having to swim due to unforseen rains, a couple of river crossings and some huge mud pits.  The hills only killed on the way down…ouch my knees!imh_6919imh_6923Really, I don’t know what my deal was here, but apparently, Will says this face is normal when I talk to him…hmm I won’t try to interpret that comment.

imh_6931Will was great to bring the kiddlets to the race.  He said he waited faithfully for me at the finish to snap a picture.  He even let me hug him after it was all over.  What a great husband!

It felt so good to be able to run it and still have plenty of energy left at the end to do…I don’t know what.  Amber and I enlisted her sister, and my friend Amy.  We chatted most of the course and the time flew by.  Quite a few people in our church ward ran it too so we kept running into all kinds of people we knew, which was so much fun!

    I like the look on Will’s face. Kind of a “eeewww, I have to hug her” look.
