Dirty Man 6 Mile Mud Run!

I love spending time with my mom. I have the best relationship with her now! I can tell her anything. I am so blessed to have such a good friend who is also my mom. She always helps me whenever I need it. Like this weekend, she walked with me during the race when I got tired.
Of course being the trainer she is, she could've done that race 30 minutes shorter than what we did it, but she stayed with me. We did the race out in Rawhide which was 6 miles. We got SO dirty!
First thing, we ran about 100 meters, than ran through a wall of water. Ran about a mile-then ran through a river. Ran another mile & went through a giant blown up obstacle course! With about 200 people on there at once, it got pretty hard to get through. Especially if you were small, you got like sucked in! So we went through that first obstacle course, then ran another mile & did another one. Ran another mile-slip & slide with a pool of muddy water at the end. Ran another 3/4 mile & completed another dirty slip & slide. Then finished off the last 25 or so meters crawling flat on our stomachs through rocky, thick, heavy, mud! WE HAD TO CRAWL UNDER FLAGS THAT WERE ABOUT 6 INCHES OFF THE MUD. It was so hard!
You were like already dead from running 6 miles, then you had to lay flat down & crawl under flags through the most rocky mud ever. After you ran through it all, you gotta get into a huge line & wait 10 minutes to shower. You kept your clothes on which was kinda hard because the mud was literally in every item of clothing. Then you gotta go change in tents but then you realized you were so muddy even when you thought you weren't.
I really enjoyed this race! I didn't do good at all with my time & stuff, but I got 2nd in my age group! There was about 100 kids in my age group, so yeah, that's exciting!

Im so happy I gotta do this race with my mom. She won't leave me even when I tell her she can. She stayed by my side the whole way & I loved it. We work hard together which makes us alot closer. She pushes me to my limit & then some. She knows what I can handle. She knows me so well. I am so blessed to have her as my mom. I love you by the way Mom.
love love,
A
