2010 mud run

This past weekend was a fun packed time. I returned from KS to a house full of guests, which is they way I'd spend every day if I could. I just love when people come to visit. My parents and in-laws came up for a "just because" weekend. Since we've moved into out new house they have come for one reason only...work. We've worked them to the bone putting in a fence, sprinkler system, new grass, patio...you get the picture. It was so nice to have a weekend of naps, visiting & relaxing together.

We even decided to get dirty without them for a change. :) John and I were on separate teams, but we both participated in Habitat for Humanity's 5k mud run. It was a 5k with obstacles such as a 40 yard piggy back ride, jumping over hay bails, crawling through tubing, a slip-n-slide, army crawling through mud and so on. I was on team "Dirty Dolls" and we did it for FUN, not to compete, which was pretty obvious when we stopped in the middle of the race to pose for a picture! haha John's team decided to wear carhart overalls throughout the race, which he said felt like carrying an extra 30 pounds. I was really looking forward to this race, but it exceeded my expectations of flat out F-U-N! I think I'm hooked and want to do it every year now! Thanks, Lindsay for finding out about this and getting our team together!


For your viewing pleasure....
