Saturday, the 25th, was my first time ever running in the USMC Mud Run.
This course was very challenging and so much fun! I really enjoyed myself, even though at times I was hurting. I have been wanting to do this for 2 years now! I was really scared of it, but it wasn't that bad to be quite honest. Most of it was mental. I like getting out of my comfort zone...even if I am scared to do things. I still learn a great deal about myself. And most of the time, I learn that I am quite capable. That's an awesome thing to learn about yourself!!!
The team I was on was completely awesome too. Our team work was amazing. I'm so proud and honored to have such awesome friends in my life!
This was the 10 foot wall that we had to get over as a team:

We got Anne up first.
I was second to go. Oh my god! It was so hard getting over on top of the wall. Really? I thought this obstacle was going to be easier than it was.
Even getting Lauren up was pretty tough, and she weighed like nothing!
At one point, to get Lauren over the top, I pulled on her pants! LOL
None of us had ever done this race before. This was so much harder than the Warrior Dash back in May. Twice as many obstacles and more miles to run!!! All of it was marine style!!! hahaha
They were yelling at you at each obstacle. Crazy!

We did not skip any obstacles. Even the ones that were really hard...we spotted each other on all of them even if it meant only one person can do the obstacle at a time.
A lot of the teams got a faster time, but I personally think they skipped some obstacles?
;)
I was surprised at myself though and how much energy I had. Maybe it was the adrenaline? But I had so much energy. I also jogged most of it. I wasn't sure if I would be able to jog or run it, so I was really happy.

This was one of the best days ever!!! :)
I will definitely do this again next year.
