Playing in the Mud


Welcome back to your regularly scheduled programming! While you were reading about Peru, Jo and I continued to do random activities for you're (and our) entertainment. One of those activities occured 3 weeks ago. We participated in the first Las Vegas Mad Mud Run. The run consisted of a 5 mile course studded with obsticles and ending with a crawl through a mud pit. One of the prizes given out during the event was for "best costumed team" so Jo and I went to Savers and the Party Store and came up with a Hawaiian theme.


Along the run we faced hay bails, a large mountain of dirt, balance beams, an over and under and a 5 ft wall. Overall we did well on the obsticles ( I struggled a bit with the wall) and ran it in to plunge in to the mud. As we couldn't take the pictures ourselves, Jo's friend Peter showed up and took photos as well as video of us running.

We had a great time running this little race and getting dirty.
Our next planned run is the Ragnar Relay in which a 12 person team runs 180 miles relay style. More on that in October.

Peas!
