So yesterday was this long anticipated 'Dirty Girl Mud Run'. My lovely friend Anne Begley talked me into it and how happy I am that I joined this wonderful group of five women to race in support of Breast Cancer.
There was so much Camaraderie, Laughter and Friendship, even thought most of us only knew one or two of the group, well except Anne who of course knew everyone ;)
I admit I figured it be about the same as the Color Run, expect we would be getting muddy instead of colorful. Trust me, by comparing the two this one was by far harder and tougher on the body!
There were so many obstacles we had to crawl through (Mud) about 4 or 5 times. Climb over Walls, climb over a robe obstacle, huge tires, jump over haystacks and possibly I am forgetting a few.... - oh yes! We had to run about 300 meters through deep sand, now having wet and muddy shoes on that hardly wanted to leave the ground this might have been my hardest obstacle to over come of all - haha
Truly, the mud was also something else, thick with rocks and poky things inside. My 41 year old body came home with cuts, bruises and a couple of splinters ... and of course VERY dirty cloths. BUT in all strange ness I am counting on doing it again :) I just figure I have to get some motivation from Dana and workout more - haha
My three men had a fabulous time at the movies, watching Nemo again in 3D this time around. They wanted to stop at Bierwerks afterwards but it was packed due to the Oktoberfest in WP so they headed home.
I on the other hand got a nice ice cold beer right after our run, Thanks to the people that sponsor this race!!!! Every runner over 21 got one free alcoholic beverage and if that was not motivation enough for this German then I am not sure what is ... oh yes ... CHOCOLATES would have been great as well :)
So Thank You to this amazing group of women for letting me join you :)
See you all next year again :)
Hugs,
