NSV - Finally I have one worth bragging about!

This past weekend I participated in a 5k obstacle race - Warrior Dash. I had so much fun. I completed ALL of the obstacles and the course in 52 minutes! I even think I could have done it faster but I had my kids running with me and didn't want to have them running the course alone incase they got hurt. I did the Jailbreak run back in September and thought I was going to die - I didn't complete all of the obstacles back then either. Now I am so ready for my next mud run!

Congratulations.. That's awesome. I did my first 5K last Saturday. I was so excited about doing it that when I was done I felt like I had enough energy to do it over again. I'm actually thinking about a fathers day 10K. I couldnt even run 600meters at Christmas time.

It great that you did this with you kids. I saw a lot of kids running and thought how fun it would be to run with my daughters.

thanks everyone.

@ cunner - I was amazed at how I felt afterwards compared to last September. I felt good - although I wouldnt go as far and say I could have done the course twice I wasn't even really sore the next day. I am also running a normal 5K May 14th, I am real curious as to what my time will be.

So I never really heard about the obstacle races before your post Maggie. In fact it never really registered that you were doing anything different than a regular road race. I have since seen more info about them in my area and found a friend and his wife are into the Warrior Dash and Spartan Races. It looks like a blast. I am definitely signing up for them next year. Good for you for finishing that. I thought going up hills in a regular 5K was a challenge. I never thought about having to crawl through mud and over walls and carry 5 gallons buckets full of rocks in a race. Talk about a real challenge. Congratulations to you too Steph !!
