Yesterday we completed a muddy mess of a run. It was a 5k mud run. I wanted to sign up for something that was shortly after the marathon to force me to keep running. Last time I ran a marathon I didn't run again for over a year and this time I wanted to do something that would keep me going. I thought this mud run would be perfect. Something fun and not at all stressful yet somewhat challenging. I recruited a lot of family in the process which makes any run funner!
I'm including this run in the daddy daughter journal because Tom was supposed to run this with me, but at the last minute things came up and he wasn't able to join us in the muddy fun.
**STATS**
Distance: 3.1 miles
Time: 55:09 (Me) & 55:12 (Jer)
These are our really good friends, Dan & Julie and their daughter Emma, we met in California. We have been friends for 5 years now and Ava and their daughter have been freinds since they were 2 1/2. They were excited to get down and dirty with us.
The beautiful course
Our audience and babysitters are in place
And we're off! We were 1 of many waves.
Getting ready to make our way up a big climb to the slip n slide
Heading to the finish line
Mom, Stacey, Jodi, Erin & Todd making their way to the final mud pit
Mom made it through the mud pool to the top of the hill, now she just needs to go down the mudslide and she is home.
Aunt Jodi and cousin Skyler
Todd & Erin. Todd was determined to get everyone but himself muddy by kicking and throwing mud but at the end he did a cannon ball into the final mud pool so I think he was the muddiest.
Cousin Cari and her friend
A huge reason I wanted to do this run was because they offered a Piglet Plunge for the kids. At our last mud run in Monterey we thought there was a kids mud run and Ava was so excited for it, she even "trained" with me at home. It turned out to be nothing. I couldn't wait for her to finally get to do her own mud run. The kids got to run up the same muddy hill we started out on and then took a short cut over to the slip n slide and then ended by wading in the last mud pit. Ava loved it. Ady wasn't so sure.
Tanner wasn't so sure either
