How do you make a 5k run more interesting? Add mud and obstacles! Last Saturday I participated in the Marine Mud Run. There was no good way to prepare for this muddy 5k with Marine style obstacles and there is no really good way to describe the experience so I'll let the pictures do most of the work.
All smiles in the beginning!

Five obstacles in and feeling like a real champion- by this point I had scaled a five foot wall on my own AND my knee was bleeding. You can also see part of my personal support team/paparrazi in the background...my parents were in town and came out to watch and cheer!
Wrong way Lisa!!
Last leg of the race
Even though I consistently stayed at least 20 steps behind my boyfriend, we technically ran together and crossed the finish line together in 35 minutes. (The clock started when the first group began, 30 minutes before us.)
And surprisingly, all smiles in the end!
