This past weekend was a part of an amazingly fun event; The Dirty Girl Mud Run. It is a 5k with crazy obstacles & of course mud & a portion of the proceeds raised are given to the National Breast Cancer Foundation..............so I got to play in the mud like a kid for a good cause & it was more fun than I could have ever imagined!!
My sister in law asked me to do it a few months ago with her & her friends from church & I agreed without really knowing anything about it but as I looked into it I got nervous & did I mention that I had NEVER run a 5k in my life?? I was pretty proud of myself when it was all said & done. I ran the majority of it & could only NOT to one of the obstacles; it was a tube & I couldn't make my claustrophobic booty get in it.
Here we are at the second obstacle...........getting down & dirty for the 1st time.
Not all the obstacles made you get messy but they were all a challenge.
Here I am crossing the finish line.............all dirty & smiley. I enjoyed it so much that I am going to look into running an actual 5k. Does that make me crazy??
If you have the opportunity to do something like this I would said GO FOR IT. It was a great way to give money to an amazingly needed cause like Breast Cancer, a great way to spend my morning & get some exercise too.
Congrats on your first 5K and no it doesn't make you crazy for wanting to do another! Have fun :)
