We wanted to be sure to be at the start of the run, so we went right to the front before it started. They had some great music playing and a guy was working on getting us excited to start. We did a count down and we were off! We did run but we also walked quite a few times. It was mostly grass that we were walking/running in and it was tall so it was harder to run, especially since the ground was uneven. We did good though! Apparently there was 20 obstacles, some that you had to go over and some you had to go under. There was water pits with a bit of mud, but since we were the first wave going it wasn't quite as muddy yet so we didn't get overly dirty. There was a slide, nets to climb on, rope and wood to walk on, which the wood was more of a teeter totter. There was a spot that we had to walk in bubbles, a blow up tube was had to crawl through, a few pits with cords low to the ground that we had to crawl, and one part that had a heavy brick type of thing that we had to use our arm muscles to lift it to the top and lower it back down. It was so much fun!
I find this one didn't have quite as much going on then the other mud run I did, but it was so great that it was girls only, and that it was also going to a good cause, breast cancer. They did have a pretty good set up, but more food around would have been good, and more things to buy. I did buy a pink tshirt and I really wanted the hoody but all they had left was x-small and small, and we were the first wave to go and they were already out of the bigger sizes, that makes no sense! I'll see if I can get it online. It was a great way to start a beautiful day, we had such a good time and we finished it in 50 minutes.
What's next on the agenda. Well we were talking on the way back home and she's interested in doing a half marathon with me so going to check out to see when we can get our ticket for the Ottawa race. It's been on my bucket list for a while, I mean I live in Ottawa and I haven't done the Ottawa race yet so it's time!! I haven't done a half marathon in quite some time, so it will be a good push for me to get back into good shape. I really do miss running! I still run but not as much as I use to and I miss running. Now that I have a treadmill at home, I don't have an excuse of bad weather to stop me. I told her about the army run as well, it's a must! They have amazing shirts and it's a fun run to do.
I haven't been blogging as much but I do want to change that, I miss it. I for sure need to get back on track with healthy eating and keep up with exercising, which I definitely need to run more! I do eat pretty healthy most of the time but I need to do better so I can get back into better shape.
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
