Michigan's First Warrior Dash was held this past weekend in Mt. Morris and was the second largest attended 5K race sponsored by Red Frog Events read more about it here....
Months of training, and preparing for amazing good messy fun was well worth the skinned knee, bruised elbow, and blister on my pinky toe. My cousin and myself along with literally thousands of other fearless warriors ran through disgusting mucky water, leapt over fire, scaled 12 foot walls, and tasted victory (mud) as we were cheered on by my sweetheart, friends and family. Music pumped, beer flowed, costumes were outrageous, and we were warriors!
The most thrilling part of the course for me was after I scaled a knobbed wall, and was sitting on top looking over the other side as the man below is telling me to grab onto the rope and swing out and jump. Oh yeaaaa right! Hahaha! I shimmied down that rope instead. The grossest part of the course was the tar pit of really gross creek water mud pit (more like black dinasaur and leech pit) followed immediately by very gooey mud with many shoes stuck in it and about 4 very slippery hills.
Those were some of the highlights of the 12 course obstacles we took on, my absolute favorite was jumping into the cool mud and barbed wire just before the finish line :) That, and of course finishing. Participating in a fabulous life with amazing loving people. We win!
Life is so big, so full, I am loving this summer!!!
God Bless, I'll be back, Cathy
