Mud Run- It was great!
I have seen people posting on here about different 5Ks and fun runs and have always been intrigued by the idea of a mud run, but never thought I would have the guts to do one. I finally did it today and it was FANTASTIC! I found one that had walk up registration so went on a whim this morning by myself thinking I could walk around for a bit and if it felt too intimidating, I would leave.
I ended up "running" it and was not the slowest, oldest, or most out of shape and even if I was no one would have noticed or cared. The only thing I will do differently next year is to bring family and friends because 1) this is a great thing to share with other people 2) you just can't describe how muddy you get and I want a witness 
.
I am becoming one of "those people" who get excited about exercise and I never thought that would be me, but I like it!
Just a tip if you do a mud run... It's probably not the best idea to wear any kind of fitbit like device, but I kept mine on because I didn't realize how much water was involved. It counted 16,000 steps and 92 flights of stairs because of the hills on the course. I made sure that I walked up another 8 flights at home after the race just so I could meet that 100 stairs mark. It might sound silly, but seeing that was just another bonus to the day!
