Warrior Dash is for Sissies!

I've been so bad at blogging but several weekends ago we ran in the Warrior Dash with our friends Chris, Brian and Ashley. To be honest I was SO nervous about doing this because I am not a runner not did I do much running to prepare myself for this. Not to mention Chris is a beast and runs half-marathons, Ashley is a runner and Brian is always in shape.

Luckily, I had nothing to worry about....this race was easy. You paid way to much for what you got. They claimed the course was 3.48 miles but there is no way because we walked some, you get stopped at obstacles and we finished in 40 minutes. The obstacles were also too easy. I really wanted to be challenged with the obstacles but they were a piece of cake. Ok, complaining aside, I really did have a good time. I loved the mud and the obstacles and I can't wait to run a race like that again. We already decided we are going to put together a team for the USMC Mud Run in Columbia on October 15th. Chris, Brian and Ashley all ran it last year and said it was awesome, so I can't wait for this race. I have to say, after running this race, I have no desire to run in a running only race. I just don't like running but I love the obstacles! Below are 2 pictures from the day. We had a great time with out friends and even went to see Bridesmaids that afternoon.
