Mud Run

June 14th was our latest 10K down at the Camp Pendleton Marine Base in California. Not your typical 10K. First of all there were 1000's of people there ready to get down and dirty. Near the beginning were a couple of fire hoses, a creek to cross, a hill to climb, tire obstacle, and multiple mud pits to run through. Then a river to swim across and one last mud pit that you had to crawl through on your stomach. That being said I'm sorry that I don't have any after pictures, just before. Suffice it to say we were good and dirty. 3 months pregnant and a 10K through a marine base. Not bad, eh? And yes.... I walked nearly all of it.


After the 10K we really didn't have a game plan for the rest of the day so my hubby was pretty excited when Mom made the following suggestion, "I was thinking it'd be fun to find a place that rents long boards and the girls could sit on the beach and watch the boys surf." No one had any problem with that. So after a quick trip to the hotel and a bite to eat we were off to the beach for the rest of the day.
My hottie hubby was pretty dang happy.
We girls were pretty content too.


And then he was tired.

I am so jealous I have been wanting to do the mud run for forever!! I grew up down there and that was one thing that I never did, and now I regret it. :( What beach did you guys go to and what was the trip down for? Just the run? Oh, congrats on the second baby! how exciting!
