MUD RUN 2008

A group of us got together this year for the Camp Pendleton Annual Mud Run! (Brad and Stephanie Jensen, Byron and Chessa Konold, Debbie Asplund, Julie Lundquist, John and Lisa Bray, Chad and Rachel Gharring, Jon Warrick, Brad and Chelsea Gharring, Jason and Jennifer Fifield, Jon and Susan Billing, Matt and Luella Downs and Bryan Downs) This year Jason and I have been exploring the world of "running"... can't say that I'm a huge fan, but it's good exercise! In November we started with our first run, a 5k called the "Turkey Trot". I actually really enjoy the whole "race" aspect of it though... their is a huge sense of accomplishment as you cross the finish line. The Mud Run is a 10k obstacle course that consists of hills (about half of it uphill), mud pits, walls, tires, tunnels and a lake you have to swim through.
Practically every team had a theme! Luella and I were fond of the "Speedo Tribe"... so we snuck in a picture before the race! All I can say is... their had to be some serious "chaffing" at the finish line. What will our theme be next year?

What a blast! Wow, how did you run with all of those distracting teams. Hopefully you weren't running too close to the speedo boys. Looks like you guys had a really great time.

Wow! That sounds like a lot of fun! You can tell how hard you worked from the color of your shirts before and after. A little bit of a difference there!
