Weekend Warrior

Sunday I ran the Warrior Dash at Budd's Creek, MD with some of my running friends. It was a great day and a ton of fun!
My hubby and kiddos came along for some support. Here we are heading to the race.

 

 

 My little warriors...

 

 Posing with the girls before the race. Costumes make everything more fun!

Our nice clean feet...

Let the race begin!!!

 It was a tight squeeze at the beginning...

 I'm at the bottom of the picture here...trying to get through all that mud!

Stephanie's husband came along as well and took many of our photos. He got a media pass and was able to get some shots of us on the actual obstacles.

 

It was a very hilly course! Here we are at the waterslide...

 

Chris got us coming down the hill at the very end...

 Ugh - the mud pit! This thing smelled horrendous (and that's being nice). The darn girl in front of me was trying to swim so she kept kicking the crap in my face. It was so deep at parts that you had to bear crawl. It was insane.

I'm in the picture above. In the top right side there is a girl turned around facing a big pile of people. Well that's the girl I got in behind. She decided that swimming wasn't working so she flipped over and said, I give up, I just can't. The guy next to me and I "stood up" and went around her. Katie, Steph, and I entered at the same time. Katie is almost in the front of the photo, and Steph is wearing the white bandana (they are both on the left side). I guess I picked the wrong person to get in behind. LOL!
But I finished it!! Here's Steph and Me walking out of the pit to get our medals.

We all did!!

 Katelynn gave me a handful of flowers. She's so sweet!!

 The Warriors!

Our feet afterwards (I love how I look like I have scales on my legs - ha, ha).

Getting hosed off at the end.

 Trying to take off my shoes. They had a place you could donate them...good-bye Saucony's!!

The race really was a lot of fun, and I will definitely do another one.
