Mud...Dust Run













A few years ago, Brian ran a super fun "Mud Run" in San Diego(at Camp Pendelton ?). It sounded like so much fun so Marcelle, Michelle & Jared and Brian and I enlisted in the 2nd Annual Mud Run In Scottsdale, Arizona. The course was 4 miles long and at each mile there was an obstacle. i. e. hay hurdles, army crawl under a propt up tarp (where many stood up with bloody knees), balance beam (on logs) and a muddy swim to the finish line. We decided that it should have been called the "Dust Run" as we ran in sand and dirt the whole way and only got in the mud about 20 yards from the Finish Line. I attempted to stay as "least muddy" as possible once I realized we were at the end and still not muddy. However that thought didn't last long as Brian dunked me under right after the first rope. I promptly helped him all the way under the mud bath and we both left COVERED in mud...as did our whole group. Poor Marcelle got some mud kicked in her eyes by Brian who decided to the free style stroke on his way out. We had a good time running with great friends and having fun. Yahoo! Adam, Marcelle's husband was such a trooper as he took care of Talon while we ran. What a guy!
