MUD RUN

Part of my family came down from Idaho and we spent the weekend in San Diego to participate in the Camp Pendleton Mud Run. It was a great change of pace from the other 10K's. Throughout this course there were mud walls we had to climb over, a tire obstacle, river cross (you had to swim across), mud hill climb, tunnel crawl and a mud pit you had to cross on your stomach. Unfortunately we could only capture the beginning and the end of the run. 

You could compete as an individual or as a 5 man team. This was our team, the Muddy Spuds.



Crew was so happy to have his family around. Jason was the babysitter while we ran. 

The guy out of the mud flying through the air is Devin trying to take me down. I high stepped his arm tackle!

Whew! I don't know if this was fun or just plain torture. Can't wait to hear all about it. The pictures of Crew and Lily are the best.
