I did the
Dirty Dash at Soldier Hollow in Midway today. It was a 10K (6.2 miles) mud run. A couple of my girlfriends and I walk 6 miles on Saturday mornings up Snake Creek Canyon - we figured we should work toward something so we signed up for this race. Did I mention that we
walk on Saturday mornings, not run! Yep, I don't think I have EVER run more then 3 miles at any given time..and...on top of that I don't think I have run since long before Bodie was even a thought. So as you can tell I had trained really hard! I actually surprised myself and did very well - and had tons of fun.
Pictured above: Chad Patterson and me {I look so clean...I wasn't - I was soaking wet and very muddy}.
His mom is one of my friends that I walk with - he was on our "Midway Mamas" team and smoked us all. This picture is of us at the end - I came in a distend second! {Chad has been doing races with me and his mom for several years now. The first race he did with us I told him if he beat me I would buy him ice cream - I think he was 8 years old and he killed me - so now I just know he is going to be at the finish line cheering us on!}

Gregg, Truman, Bodie and my dad were our awesome support team. I think there are more pictures on my dad's camera - I will post them along with the professional photos that were taken once I get them.
After the race I ran home, fed everyone, tried to clean off the mud and then rushed to Salt Lake where I met another friend for the Broadway production of Marry Poppins. Loved it {now I am watching the movie}.
I am exhausted and not sure I am going to make it out of bed tomorrow...
