the one to get dirty for the hoorah.

On Saturday, I took part in the USMC 5k Mud Run! :)  I have participated in a bunch of Race for the Cure and YoungLife 5k's but I have never actually ran in a 5k.  I was so excited to do this with two of my really great friends, Brooke & Kaitlin.  We had such a blast and were proud to support our Marines!  Hoorah!

Quick side note:  my dad is not savvy with computers or cameras.  && he came to watch us and took pictures with my new slr camera.   I am so proud of him.. he did a great job! 


before..




the final pit we had to crawl through...







after...


&& me afterwards...



bahahaha.
  Just kidding.. but dad got a kick out of how animated she was telling her  big ol' tale after she finished the race & got this shot.  Too funny, but for real: me afterwards...



Afterwards we were allowed a short time in these "wash off" frames.



The three of us afterwards...



We had a great time getting dirty and supporting our Marine troops!  I can't wait to get involved with more 5k's and hopefully get up to 10k's, half marathons, & full marathons!  It looks like I am revealing some of my bucket lists... will share more of my bucket list this week! :)

Happy Monday!
Hoorah!
