Today's Thought

"Neither Satan nor any other power can weaken or destroy your growing character. Only you could do that through disobedience. That is why Satan is so intently focused on tempting you to make decisions that will undermine your character. Satan is an accomplished master at making devastating choices appear attractive, even reasonable. So be careful. At this critical time of life you will be faced with many choices. The decisions you will make will profoundly affect life now and for eternity. Make them wisely and prayerfully."

Man vs Mud

A couple of weekends ago I had the most wonderful, fantastic, fun, eventful opportunity to run.....in the mud.
We were the Hot Mudders!
And YOU....get to enjoy all the pictures because I could not leave ANY out...ok maybe I left a few out.
And why did we get SOOO many wonderful pictures? Because Doran ran along with us or should I say ran ahead, snapped some pictures, then ran ahead snapped some pictures...you get the picture..eh heh.
There were only two obstacles that he didn't dare participate in because he didn't want to ruin the camera.

ENJOY!!
The first slide. All the slides included soap, I guess to get the slickness.

Run to the next obstacle. There were people lined up right about here shooting water guns at the runners.




Heidi, Dawn, Jen, Jodi, Me, Tori

First mud bog...stay with us










Too bad we missed the splash but that is what happened...so fun!


This was a 5k and I am not sure how long it took us but they didn't time you. So I paid everyone a dollar to walk. Ok maybe not, but I offered to.



A couple of guys before us were able to run all the way across but not us. However, I was so glad that I didn't go all the way under like a couple of our Mudders did.
At this point Doran is in the water up to his chest trying not to get the camera in the water. He just jumped in and not tried to go across the floatiethings.

Another splash moment and this stuff was slick. Just as we were getting out I tried to help Jodi up and I went down.





Getting close to the Finish Line

The last slide and it was the BEST!! Notice the big splash at the end. There was no way you could NOT splash on this one.

Jodi was laughing at everyone and pointed at the mud in our teeth.


The Military Crawl

And we are done!!


This guy actually proposed...and she said YES!
Here she is putting on the ring and holding her flowers.





Mud is just caked up her nose
Look at those fingernails. NOT finger lickin' good.
The "showers". This water was fffaarreezing cold but it washed most of the mud off.
Gotta be thorough
Would I do this again?

In a heartbeat!!!
