Mud Run
Brenda, Alex, Lisa and I got down and dirty and ran the Ft. Lewis Mud Run this morning. It is an 8 k romp over hill and dale, mostly hill as there was very little dale in sight, and under, over and through a variety of obstacles to include 3 sets of mud pits. One was a knee deep mostly water walk through that I dived into to cool off and two low crawl mud pits. Lisa decided at the last second to do tha race and ran in what she was wearing but her time didn't count...which sucked because she beat us all and may have been the first female...I say may have been because I was no where near fast enough to stay up where she and Alex finished. She was done in 45 or so and Alex was 46. I stumbled in at 49 and Brenda was 53. We got some pics of our post race state of filth but no hardware yet. Their computer blew up or terrorists got it or something but in any case they didn't have the results. We'll check in on that later. Emily 1 did her first 5k race today called the City Blast complete with what she called "The Gnarly Hill" and she finished in 32:22.
