Mud Flaps Rule!

This past Saturday I did something that goes against all my standards of cleanliness. I participated in a mud run. I'm not sure how long they have been around, but this is the first year I have heard of it. So, without hesitation I signed up. They set it up at the Throttle 215 motor cross park in Rose Park. The track was already there, they just muddied it up. I spent the morning wading, jumping into and over, trudging threw, slipping in, swinging over, crawling through, splashing down in and throwing a lot of mud. It was hilarious fun. Although I loved making fun of the relay teams that were super intense, and in it to win it, I think my favorite part of the race was killing it on the monkey bars. Not once, twice, thrice, but four times. I was amazed! I haven't done monkey bars since middle school. Probably because I haven't seen any that are taller than me, but it was still amazing. I ran the 3 member relay race with Stephanie and Janae. We had a mud in places mud should never be. Good times! I will definitely do it again next year.

I'm just starting my first lap. Not looking too dirty yet.

My favorite obstacle was crawling under the chicken wire. This is Janae doing it!
