Da Dash!

Two runs this weekend. One about 20 minutes on Saturday that left me with an awesomely un-awesome sunburn and then the Warrior Dash on Sunday which wasn't so much a "run" as it was a "hill workout."

A group of us signed up for the Warrior Dash a few months ago. It's basically a 5K with a bunch of obstacles along the way.

It turned out to be a mud run. The first half of the course was through the woods and it was sneaker-sucking mud. Literally - there were sneakers stuck in the mud. Not possible to run unless you cut through the woods (and we aren't cheaters.) There was a net climb (eh), a few tire things (meh), some fire-jumping (that was ok), a crawl through this dark tunnel thing through matter that had the consistency of something thicker than stew but less so than mud (my knees are raw), a massive slip-n-slide (again, please!), and then an alligator crawl/doggie paddle through a pool of muck under barbed wire (oh. heck. yes.).

We ended like this...

But were crowned with these...

Not bad for a day's work. Triny and I ended up sprinting up the hills so we could count it at least as a "hill workout."

Three runs last week. Not too shabby.
