Hey all. A couple of months ago I signed up with a friend to do the Dirty Girl Mud Run. Well Saturday was race day and I did it and it was awesome! It was probably one of the most fun events I have ever participated in. I do have to disclose that I walked the whole way (I have a bad back and the friend I did it with had pneumonia - but she wanted to do it). Although we walked we still did it - went through the obstacles, got really dirty, had a ton of laughs and finished. I cannot wait until next year. Ladies - if this run is coming to a city near you, I strongly recommend it. It is all women and not timed. Check out the website - www.godirtygirl.com Thanks for listening!!

    Great job!! Sounds like you had a great time! I have walked a few 5ks but not a mudder. I have a goal to run in the Turkey Trot 5k this Thanksgiving. Working towards that now.

    Outstanding....It doesn't matter how you cross the finish line as long as you cross it and you do it on your own. Congrats!!!
