Mud Run: 2012

Some days it feels like I just got here. Other days it seems like I've been here too long and it's time to hit a Target immediately. Days like today though, make me realize that I've been here over a year and in that time I've carved a niche out for myself.

Last year on the day of the mud run I had just moved into my castle, was Nico-less, and still knew very few people. This year's edition? Um, well my house may still look like I just moved in at times, but the Nico fur helps with that...but I knew a ton of people at the race! I even had friends and coworkers join me this time around for the 5K event.

The course was tougher than last year, but with all that running Lori makes me do, our time was an improvement on last year even with the increased numbers of obstacles like climbing a wall, tires, and sandbags trying to knock us out. Note to self: don't play video games the night prior that required throwing punches because you need your arms for the belly crawl! 

The course & all its challenges
So once we were done with the race (and not too muddy) it was time to get muddy and have some fun! Or you know, running partners- and friends need some therapy after all those miles in heat and if that's not enough...wall climbs are not easy for those of us with t-rex arms!
