What a blast my friend, Tina and I had this weekend! We drove to Oceanside, CA on Saturday for the world famous Mud Run at Camp Pendleton Marine Base. It was only a 10K, but the hardest one I've ever run. I had been serious in the weight room for 3 months thinking the obstacle course would be the most difficult portion of the race. Boy, was I wrong! The run was mostly uphill in deep sand! When I say "uphill" I mean serious hills here people. Not at all was I was expecting. Of course, my little Tina chugged right up and kept asking "Are you okay?" I finally told her to stop asking because people would look at me every time she did. It was as if they all thought I would keel over face first in a mud pit and give up. By the way, the term "DNF" is NOT in my vocabulary and we finished together (which I KNOW bothered Tina, but I made her swear to do the race with me) with a respectable time of 1:13. The women's first place time was 49:52. All in all, we would do it again in a heartbeat. I've attached some photos. Keep in mind, they gave us baby wipes immediately after the finish which is why our faces look so clean :-)
