First Annual Eldredge Dirty Dash

First off, running is not fun. I want to be a runner. I envy those that can/do run. But I am just not one of those people that enjoys running. HOWEVER, this was a great way to do my first 5K. We did the first of hopefully many family mud runs. We went up to Soldier Hollow in Midway and did the Dirty Dash. Our team name was "Got Runs?" (although me and Jodi thought we were pretty funny while we were making the shirts and put the boys as "Got Runs.") We also got us some sweet aerodynamic fuschia pants that were the only things that came clean after and the boys sported some awesome fuschia hot pants. Cory even won an award while we were there for his outfit, probably for having legs that any male, or female, would envy. (We also ran with Bachelor Bentley. My sister got mad at me for not kicking him down in the mud.)



Luckily my parents came up to watch so my mom got some awesome pictures. Unfortunately she couldn't see us during the middle, full of hay barrels to hurdle, walls to climb, tunnels to climb through, and tires to run through.

"You people are crazy. I'm definitely not related.""Do I have something on my face?" Ok, really I was asking if I had gotten all the mud out of my teeth. Disgusting! These were the most painful, powerful, cold showers!Even after showering in the torture showers, there was still mud in every inch of the body.
