Running Dirrrty

Picture this: Halloween Morning in Madison. Approximately 0 degrees*. 1300 people dressed up and ready to run.

And not just run through the beautiful campus. No, this was a slightly different type of running. It involved 15 obstacles. The FIRST of which was crossing a stream of moving water that went up to my armpits. Which meant the remaining 4.6 miles were done soaking wet.

Fast forward through some walls to throw yourself over. Hay bales to jump over. Tires to run through, etc etc etc and the grand finale was crawling through a massive mud pit.
Oh. yeah.

Check out Emily's diver pose. You just can't compete with that.



 And the after-effect is exactly what one would imagine. Messy. Dirty. Sloppy fun. Oh and freezing cold. But mostly just fun.

**Note: temperature may be slightly exaggerated, but this is what it felt like.

When I was a kid we had to walk to school too, but it was up hill both ways. I guess when you go to a work out class lead by a weiner on a bike it prepares you for most anything. Looks like you kids had fun.
