I participated in the Mud Run MS 2011 at Harrah's Casino on my birthday with my running buddy, Emma! It was a GREAT time and there was only 1 time that I didn't smile - and that's as I was faced with the task to jump off of a platform and into about 5' of muddy water (which was actually more mud than water I do believe). I can't swim, so I was extremely nervous. BUT, I made it through! I was near the end and wasn't about to give up!
Before the run - all nice and clean!
First obstacle of the day - I really wasn't expecting it to be so deep!
Thumbs up!
About mid-way through the race! Muddy and still smiling!
One of my favorite obstacles!
Another thumbs up!
My favorite picture of the day!
The start of the monkey bars. Some had remnants of tape on them.
I waited until no one else was going before I started.
Not the prettiest shot, but I was making it through!
Almost to the end! By this time, no one else was going and the whole crowd was cheering me on! Apparently there weren't many women making it across it - and I know why! It was HARD!
Looking for Emma - and still in shock that I made it across! The crowd clapped for me as I made it through!
Worried about the jump that I have to make into the 5' of mud.
Decided to just go for it (after several minutes of worry and a girl telling me - "You just made it across the monkey bars - you can do this!")
Crawling out of the mud pool. So happy that I did it (but not too thrilled about the mud in my mouth).
Last obstacle of the day!!
