My first Mud Run

I just ran my first 5 k Survivors Mud Run in Seattle June 7th. Had a great time and hope to do another one soon. My friend that I went with told me it wasn't timed so we didn't go full blast and I will came in about the middle of my age group. I was able to do all the obstacles but the overhead ladder and so now I know I need to work on my upper body strength. I never would of thought a couple of years ago that I would be able to do this and I'm thrilled that I can and I didn't even get tired and could of run faster but my friend is shorter then I am and doesn't run as fast and we wanted to stay together during the run. She is better at the obstacles than I am so we kind of complimented each other with our strengths and weaknesses. For anyone that hasn't done a mud run give it a try it is great fun and if there are obstacles you can't do at least try then before walking or running around them.
