On Friday, Heather text me and asked if I wanted to join her and 7 other friends at a mud race called "Jail Break". Without hesitation I said YES! Now mind you I had NO preparation for this, I had no clue what I was getting myself into, but I am soooo glad I said yes! Heather picked me up at 6:30 and I had a nervous feeling all the way up till we crossed the start line!
The obstacles are what made me the most nervous! I was worried I wouldn't be able to do them, especially since I hadn't done anything to prepare, but once I got out there, the adrenaline got me through them. The hardest was a slippery, slippery slope that you had to use a rope to get up. It required a LOT of upper body strength and I tried several times before FINALLY getting up! After that my energy was zapped, but I found enough strength to get through it.

After crossing the finish line, we were all super pumped!! This was the first time in my life, that I can remember crossing a "Finish" line! I've crossed the start line before, but never a "finish" line and I feel so confident that it was my first but NOT my last!!!

I am SO glad you joined us. I was so excited when Heather said you would be joining. I am so glad you had a wonderful time too!! It was definitely scary my first time. Now...I can't WAIT for the next one to roll around. Registration for it has been opened now. You ready to join us again next year?
