Dirty Dash

I participated in my first ever Dirty Dash run today, and it was a blast! A bit harder than I imagined, as there were lots of goat trails, steep hills, and gradual climb hills. Also lots of obstacles, and of course, tons of mud. I told my friends - chasing after three kids all day does not constitute training for a 5K race. Next year, I will definitely train for hills better. But how fast you finished this race was not really the goal. The goal was to have tons of fun and get dirty, and I am pretty sure I accomplished all that!

The finish line - I mean, the finish mud bog!

Slogging through!

All done - so much for a white shirt!

I had the kids put their handprints

with brown fabric paint on the 

back of my shirt.

My friend and team mate, Amy and I. 

We stayed together until the last mile.

Then I told her to go ahead, I needed to slow down!
