So, as I sit here relishing in my most recent accomplishment... I want to cry-- because I NEVER thought I would willingly sign up for a 'run' of any kind a few short months ago.

Here is the thing, if you haven't heard of the Dirty Dash... well number 1: you're missin out!!! and number 2: you will be suuuuuper jealous. It is a 5K(some locations have 10K as well) mud obstacle course. My shoes were water-logged, becoming 10lbs ankle weights, I am cut and bruised and scraped from all the different obstacles. EVERY muscle in my body is aching. IT IS A GOOD FEELING!!!!

But any race that has you drinking beer before you run, and WHILE you run (BEER CHUG OBSTACLE?!?!?!) AND AFTER you run.... well, I. AM. DOWN. :glasses:
*kitten*, the Dirty Dash team has NEVER run out of beer while conducting a race.... but the Billings, MT crowd managed to do that not only once but TWICE!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

I HATE running outside, or well, I did... I do believe this race changed me.

About halfway through the race, I started to think "What in the *kitten* am I doing??!?! Holy Hell this is hard!!" but then I corrected myself, "I'm running a F*****G 5K!!! That's what I am f*cking doing!!!!!!!" OHH YAA!!!:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Woohoo!! What an inspiration!!! You look absolute beautiful and nothing is better after working out than a nice cold beer!! For those on the East Coast in the US, there's a similar race on August 21 in Richmond, VA called Muddy Buddy. See you there!!

    Great work! I have friends that run tough mudders all the time and they always have a blast.
    I'm not a beer drinker but I hope to at some point run a race like that.
    Congrats!

    So impressed with your accomplishment. Way back in the day they used to serve beer at many runs. Not anymore. It was weird drinking after such exertion AND in the morning. Never had the chance to run in the mud. Quite an accomplishment for the first time. Congrats.
