The Misfits!

Yay! I did my 'first' 5k Mud Run, our team was in fourth place, there were five teams.. let's just say it wasn't fair! The three teams were Army, Marines, and the Fire Department! How is that like fair?! They run 10 miles a day, come on, give the lazy people a break! Oh and let's not forget, they were all dressed in the same uniforms, ha ha! Anways we ran it in 45 mins! -Not bad for being firt timers. The mud was so fun, we had to get on our knee's and go under rope/caution tape, then we had to run a 20-25 ft. ditch that was filled, (we kinda got stuck in that, and it smelt soo bad!), then we had to go over a log.. then a wall! And finally we ran through the mud pit, (I face plowed it),and we all got pretty much got stuck, but we held hands, and made it across! Great team support! Then we all had to hose off in the freezing cold water, then Jaimie wanted to go play in the mud, so we did that, had people take videos and pictures of us, then we had to hose off again, in the freezing cold water! As of right now, my ankle is in pain, my knees are aching, my throat is sore.. I'm ready for a drink! I hope all of you are having a great weekend!

Oh yeah and in March they are having another one, I will be practicing for sure!

How cool! I have been wanting to do this! Now I just have to find people crazy enough to do it with me! And the people who won was DEFINITELY unfair, although to give them credit they probably deserved it for all they do!

Hi Kristen:) I'm a new follower to your awesome blog (found you through the lovely Amy!) Just wanted to pop in and say HI and tell you how excited I am to read the rest of your posts. Your day looks like such fun! Sometimes it's great to just let your hair down and be a little grungy with the boys:)
