This weekend I went to Austin with my parents and sister. I also…
- Climbed over rusty old cars and wooden barricades
- Scaled a hay bale stack
- Walked the plank across a gully
- Trudged through an almost knee-deep creek
- Climbed up a steep ravine
- High stepped through hundreds of tires
- Maneuvered over cargo nets and through a spider web of ropes
- Jumped over fire (that’s my sister in grey and me in black)
- Crawled through a mud pit (That’s me again, in black; I’m about to get out of the mud pit. This is right before I fell down getting out of said mud pit.)
And I ran a good deal more than I have in several months. Should have trained more, but I did complete the course…not before barfing a little bit, but that’s beside the point. It was pretty intense…I had to sit down for a bit afterward.
All with my sister. And my parents were there cheering us on and taking pictures!
Thankfully the worst injuries I have are skinned knees and sore muscles.
Here’s us before…
And after….
It’s called the Warrior Dash and it was so fun we think we’re going to do it again in March!
Wanna join us?

Did married life shrink you? Jac attack is taller than you. How did you just get mud from the waist down? That mud pit looked deeper than that.
I ran across a link to your blog while going through old e-mails. The Warrior Dash looks awesome! Fire, mud, and cool hats – what a combo. Was it Jackie’s idea or yours?
