Warrior Dash 2011

After Finishing the Race

This weekend I Ran in the Warrior Dash.  It was so much harder than the dirty 30! Almost the whole thing was up hill! My calves are still burning! I did not do as well as I wanted to go, but I will be better prepared next year! After the race we also made the dumb choice thinking it would be faster to walk to our car then to wait for a shuttle.  We needing up walking/running around 3 miles to our car after the race in only socks because we donated our shoes.  It was a very very long day.  
I am now training harder and looking for a new race to enter and prepare for! It feels great crossing a finish line!

Got Dirty....Really Dirty for a great Cause!

WHAT IS THE DIRTY 30 YOU ASK?

"It’s more than just a mud run; it’s an event you will never forget. The Dirty 30 may not change your life, but it will at least change it for one day. Who doesn’t want to run a 5k in the mud complete with 15 obstacles along the way? Obstacles will include mud pits, fire jumps, walls and more.
We would love to tell you that it is going to be easy, but we wouldn’t want to lie. Challenges like this show us just how much we can accomplish."

Oklahoma's First Dirty 30 Race was this Saturday and I am STILL sore from the race! 
The money raised went to two different charities WATERisLIFE and The Spero Project. You could also donate your shoes at the end of the race which I did because I hate cleaning Mud of shoes, oh and for people who needed them I was more than happy to do so!
Honestly I was so scared about this race.  I had been running but I was falling behind on workouts and I was prepared to look like a fool and just do my best because I couldn't not try!  Plus Christina was going to be there and I had to compete to win against her! We all decided to dress up in tutu's and fool people into thinking we were just some sassy girls then get out there and rock it in the mud! And I think we all did better than had hope!  I was so proud of myself and our group!
The only part that was awful was the heat and the the lack of shower space! They had the ONE HOUR long line of people waiting to shower off! By the time I got there I was trying my best to get the dried mud off!  Christina and Jess rode with me so I still have some dirt in my car to prove how dirty we got! It defiantly open up a desire in me to enter more races like this one.
The Next Race to sign up for: THE WARRIOR DASH IN TULSA ! SO EXCITED!!!

{ I look funny because Christina told me to look serious,something I can't do well-hints the cracked smile} 


 

*Can you see the Neon Colors Running to he last Obstacle?*Then Mud Wrestling Broke out*

 Once Christina and I go to the very last Obstacle she decided to wrestle me in the mud so she could pull ahead.  I did not see it coming! As you can see from the picture see was at one point sitting on top of me as I was buried in the thick mud! Once I got a hold of her we had a pretty good mud wrestling match going on and all the sudden we hear voices from the crowd; "Get her ... tackle her back down..... " along with clapping and yelling.  I don't know if Christina realized what a positive reaction we would get!  I had never been so dirty in my life and I'd do it all again next weekend!
Then we cheered Jessica On as she finished the Race! 
"Go Blondie!"

My Best Friends and I after the Race!
