Our 1st Mud Run

I knew I needed a little motivation to lose those pregnancy pounds, so when Amanda approached me about doing the Survivor Mud Run I knew it was the perfect opportunity.  I had been running for weeks leading up to the race hoping I'd be able to keep up with the team.

With 100-degree temps forecasted and starting the race at 11:00 we were preparing for the worst.  The 3.5 mile run was grueling with lots of hills but then lots of cool mud and obstacles to break it up and make it fun.  There's something refreshing and child-like about jumping into a pool of mud and crawling your way under wires.  Although I was the "dead weight" of the team (although I did run the entire time), we still finished under an hour.  Not too bad for 10 weeks out of giving birth.

Now we're all addicted to the mud runs......maybe Warrior Dash next!

Now I just need to keep the motivation and lose these extra pounds............
