I did a Mud Run!

So on Saturday, the 15th, my roommate Courtney and I ventured to the JCB plant in Pooler, and did a Mud Run.  Our thought was "I used to do cross country/I run 5ks, this is just 4.3 miles with a few obstacles".  WRONG.  It was grueling.  We didn't run any of it, except from the start to the first obstacle.  By the end, we literally didn't know how our bodies were working.  Granted, if we had trained for it, it probably would've been okay, buuuuut .... we didn't.

We were boring and didn't even wear coordinating outfits, let alone cute things.  It really didn't matter by the end! 

I have cuts in places the sun doesn't even see.  I have bruises (that's not a shock, I bruise if you poke me with a stuffed animal, but shhh).  My body aches on every inch.  But with some training and preparation, I'd take it on again next year. 


Have you ever done a mud run?  Would you ever?


Now I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves.

Before bibs

One of three horrible hills we conquered, then had to slide down over sticks and rocks

This was also one of the few places they let spectators through

Right after the finish line!

Courtney made a smiley face on her tummy

I broke a shoe about halfway through getting stuck in the mud

Shoes about to get thrown out!

Glass Slipper Challenge

Welp, I'm registered for the Glass Slipper Challenge.  Considering I've never even done anything higher than a 5k, I should probably get started on training....

I'm already a week late on Galloway's ToT training plan, but I kindddd of just got a new tattoo and it's been too sore to run.

But it's cute and totally worth it! But it hurts enough walking around, let alone running with tight shorts!

 I also had my 21st birthday, for which my boyfriend took me out to the Melting Pot.  I had entirely too much fondue/food and I had a watermelon martini.  (I forgot my ID.  I don't look 21.  Don't tell on our waiter!)

And then on Saturday my parents took us to Ruth Chris.  We also had a drink at Rocks on the Roof first, which I forgot to take a picture of...It's on top of the Bohemian hotel and super expensive and overlooks the river.  (And that bridge in the background is the one we run over for the Bridge Run in December!)

So I stole this one from Google

I've also been doing the whole school thing, which is super time consuming. 

And failing at streaking (oops!).

It's been a good week or two, just not running wise =)

Is anyone else slacking off?
