Today Andy participated in the USMC mud run. He was nervous being that he isn't the biggest on distance running, but he ended up kicking some major booty. His team was made up of two guys from our ward, Andy, and one of the guys sisters. They ended up coming in so early, that I wasn't even prepared to take their picture, because I thought it would be at least another ten minutes or so, so unfortunately all of the pictures with the sweet obstacles are of the girls team from our ward. The course was 4.5 miles long and included 40 different obstacles including a ten foot wall (which everyone said was the most challenging), water/mud obstacles up to 6 feet deep, over and under logs, 45 degree incline mud hills, etc. Andy had a blast and said he would do it again next weekend if he could. We look forward to participating next year, so after the baby comes, I will have some toughening up to do.
The girls from our ward about to start.
Ready, set...
GO!
Here is where I realized they were already passing me, as I was staring at the obstacle behind them. Brother Nininger yelled out to his son who was sitting with me, and so I quickly grabbed the camera and ran down to get some shots of them and the last obstacle including the finish line.
They completed the race in 50-55 minutes. Woo Hoo!
Here are the girls, and some of the "better for pictures" obstacles.

I enjoyed your blog, good job!
That looks like so much fun! I know Jon really wanted to do it this year before the baby came into play. Maybe next year we'll both be able to!
