Mud Run, Anyone?

So this past weekend was the Mid-South Mud Run at the Navy Base in Millington, TN.  It was scheduled for Saturday morning but the ground was "too saturated" so it had to be rescheduled for Sunday afternoon.  Well, after a few downpours Saturday morning and Saturday night, it was still pretty nasty on Sunday.....but the race went on!!

I had never done anything like this before, so I wasn't sure what to expect.  It was SO MUCH FUN!!  There were water crossing, crawls, a tire ladder up a steep hill (and let me tell you those were some big steps for short legs!), tractor tires to crawl over, a swamp to wade through, and just tons of mud.  It took us about an hour to finish the 3 miles and 13 obstacles.  We didn't care about our time - we just wanted to have fun and we definitely did that!!

I will definitely be returning to this race next year!

Here are a few pictures from the day.  I am in the neon shirt and turquoise hat.  What the group picture doesn't show is that I was solid mud from the thighs down as well as my hands.
