Mud....
I ran as Lara Croft this Saturday at the Runamuck festival in Titusville New Jersey. My teammates were Rambo, Indiana Jones, and the Terminator. We had a great time. It didn't feel like running to me- it was more of a fun bout through the forest that involved a willingness to get really really muddy. One of the spray painted water pistols fell out of my holster in the first mud pit. Midway through the run, I couldn't use my hands to wipe my brow to keep sweat from going into my eyes. I had to borrow the only clean space on the back of Indiana Jones' shirt. No one pulled a groin muscle or twisted an ankle, but Rambo (a non-runner) suffered 2 severe blisters on his toes because he opted to run in old work boots. I think we may do this again next year...

LOL. Great story! I did a mud-run in April, and if I ever do one of these again (I saved the shoes as my designated mud run shoes) I need to try to convince others that it's a good idea. Seems like more fun as a group.

ReplyDeleteI think it would've been much less fun as an individual. We had to finish as a group, so we stayed together for the most part- we occasionally stopped to allow whoever happened to fall behind to catch up. Rambo and Indy regularly "sang" their theme music throughout the run. Terminator and I did not know our theme music...
