Mud Run 2009


Brent has been looking forward to this year's 10K Mud Run since last years! Another year older, lots of knee rehab, and a different pair of shoes later, he took it on this weekend with his sister, Jamie, our sister in law, Christy, and their friend Matt. They had a great time and Luke and I had fun cheering them on at the finish line.

The team coming down the hill toward the last obstacle (enjoy these pics... Luke and I had to trek it down a massive gravel laden hill in his stroller for these :)
Obstacle #16 (over, under):

Crossing the finish line:
The fire department hoses everybody down with ice cold water:

I think it may be a little too early to ask them if they will do it again next year... maybe after the swollen knees and scrapes from rocks subside, they might answer that question with more clarity! They had a great time and I am proud of them!!! They beat last year's time by 31 minutes! Wow!

Bog Bandits!! =) As of right now I'm retired from mud running, I'm sure Brent feels the same way too. I'm sure of a doc could fix our knees we'd be good to go for next year.

I'm really proud of them too! Thanks for taking the pictures, Abbey. I'll bet Luke loved the fire truck!
