I just ran in the USMC (United States Marine Corp)mud run. This was my second year participating and i love it.! It is a 4.2 mile obstacle course full of challenging events. It is called the "mud run" for a reason. You are completely wet and muddy within the first 1/2 mile. There is everything from scaling a 10 ft wall, to running 1/4 mile up a hill called "heart attack hill", to swinging Tarzan style over a huge mud pit. I am happy to say that my mom was on my team this year. She did so well. I hope when i am a gramma I will be able to do something like this. You will see that we are clean in the before pics and VERY muddy and wet in the after pics. My team finished in an hour and 11 min. GO TEAM!
