San Diego-Mud Run

Well well well. I think I should do some belated blogging... This summer we decided to go to the annual Camp Pendleton Mud Run in San Diego with Russ' brothers. San Diego is A.K.A. our favorite place to vacation. We went there on our honeymoon, and when Ryker was 2. So fun. So when we heard we could run in the mud in our favorite place to vacation, we signed up. We actually signed up back on January 2nd. Long time ago. So June took forever to get here! Anyway, so we finally got to go.

Here is Russ and I before the race. Yes, I am taller than Russ, didn't you know? :)
Russ, me (I have seen better pictures of myself, eek), Russ' brothers..Myrick and Greg before the race.The people in Kilts were Greg's friends that came also. This is one of the MANY MANY hills. Jealous aren't you? I know. Well, don't feel too bad, theres always next year!! :)


Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of us in the mud pits, or lake, or mud hills, or rivers...etc, you get the idea. Russ' mom did take a picture of us afterwards all wet and muddy, but I don't have that picture yet. This race was my first organized race I've attended. Let me tell you, I am very out of shape. I thought I was out of shape before, really I did, but this race showed me how out of shape I actually am. I couldn't believe it. I have never felt so tired in my life. So on one hand, it showed me just how out of shape I am, but also showed me how much I could push myself to keep going. When I finished, it was a great feeling. We hope to be there next year to do it all again!
