Last week, I was filling Miss Pearl and glanced up at the billboard. Being in the media industry, I try to read everything and that includes billboards. This particular bigger-than-life advertising had information about a 5K mud run. It's exactly what it sounds like. You run for 3.1 miles and then there is a HUGE mud bath at the end. Count me in!
I casually mentioned this to Becca, a girl in my book club. Immediately she said, "Let's do it." Then I mentioned it to my other friend Brooke and she started training for it before I could finish my sentence. So, it looks like I will be competing in my first race in exactly one month. I have 30 days to train. Thankfully, I'm somewhat fit (I think) and I enjoy exercising. Brooke and I are taking a strength and conditioning class at a uni twice a week. We have decided to start training, no time like the present, ya know?!
Tonight is our first trial jog. I will keep this blog updated and let you know how it goes. If you have any 5K pointers, let me know.

sounds fun
Brooke, Becca, Becky...in Book club! Does everyone's name start with a B? :) Sounds like a rewarding race - who doesn't love getting covered in mud???
Is this the race called the "muddy buddy?" My sister and I ran the Muddy Buddy last summer in Boulder and we had a BLAST!!! I can't wait to see your pictures after the race is complete!
