(That was last month, right?)

It was about 4.5 miles long. We were in the last heat. So. Many. Walls.
My team, Gordon Bombay Taught Me How To Quack, was awesome. We stuck together. I won't mention how much of the race I did not run. Those obstacles were hard, but when else would I have decided to crawl underneath a football field length of barbed wire or carry oddly shaped 50 lb sacks of sand? I definitely got over my thing about being self conscious about people watching me climb over stuff.... I used to make people turn around and not watch when I was climbing over things. Here is our post-run pic:
Here is one I am doing in May:
It is a mud run. There are options to do a 5k, 10k, 19k, or marathon. Yes, you guessed correctly. I will be doing the marathon, of course. Who needs toenails anyway?

[ok. so no marathon for me right now. i lied.]
Here is the race I am particularly excited about...... THE COLOR RUN!

Its only 40 bucks and its a 5k, so do it with me! Who doesn't wanna get sprayed with colors? I need a good something to wear... I'm thinking I want lots of color all over, so I am thinking about trying to find some white knee high socks or something crazy.... we shall see! (Maybe I will break out my Mighty Ducks headband from above pic. Haha!)
