Dan and I participated in a 5K obstacle course last Saturday. One month before the race, Dan decided to do some 1-mile jogs around our neighborhood to prepare himself. He went 6 times a week, and I joined him about twice a week. We probably should have worked up to 3 miles at some point. But, too late! I know I held Dan back a few times(quite literally when I got a tow up a hill by hanging onto his shirt!), but he's a nice boy and stayed by my side for the whole thing. We weren't interested in being first place; we just wanted to have fun.
Some of the better obstacles included jumping over fire, going down a huge slip-n-slide, climbing over some junkyard cars, scaling up and over a cargo net, and crawling through mud! Oh, and we had to run 3.1 miles betwixt all those obstacles. Apart from the running, we really enjoyed the event. Our sister-in-law encouraged us to do it as a family, so there were 7 of us in our group.

So awesome! Was this the Warrior Dash?! We wanted to do that this year, but waited (as per my usual modus operandi) until it was too late to register.
