A few weekends ago we went to CA for a family vacation, and to start it off we ran in the World Famous Mud Run at Camp Pendleton. IT WAS AWESOME!!!!! This is now be a tradition we do every year, so if any of you want to join us, please do. We ran it with my brother Scott and his wife Tami, and a couple from their ward. It is a 10 k (6.2 miles) and there are obstacles throughout the entire race. You are sprayed with fire hoses, crawl through river crossings, go through mud pits to get to 5 ft walls to climb over, swim through a lake, go through tires, crawl through a metal tunnel, and army crawl through the mud. It was the funnest time I have ever had running!!! Ryan ran it in 58 minutes, Scott & Tami ran in in an hour (Tami placed 3rd in her age group and received a metal) and I ran it in 1 hour and 23 minutes - I am pretty sure I have a stress fracture in my left foot that really started to hurt around mile 2, so I ended up having to walk a little bit and then stopped and tried rubbing it out (I thought it was a cramp) - but it still hurts today, so I'm thinking a stress fracture. But that's okay, that means I will be able to beat my time next year!!! After the run, we went to In-N-Out, I love this place! Then we stayed for a week in Newport (more posts to come on that part of the trip)! Here are some photos from the race.
