(Just a quick note: If you are landed here because of a comment I left on your book blog, you might be more interested in my review blog, Carstairs Considers. But you are very welcome to stick around here, too.)
I was doing so well, but now it's been a while since I posted again. Let's get at least one post in this week.
Back in May, I did my second mud run for the year. And possibly my last one, sadly. Rugged Maniac was back in the area, so naturally I did it.
I actually did it with a friend. He signed up at the last minute (like the night before). Despite the fact that they didn't seem to have a wave time for me, we got signed in and registered rather quickly. In fact, we had a little time to kill before we started running. We played a little cornhole before we started, and I wound up winning. He couldn't handle it well, which I found even more fun.
Of course, once we started running, he left me in the dust right away. No surprise there since I'm only slowing down from my already slow speed. It was hot that weekend, which didn't help. Then my sun screen was running in my eyes.
But I had fun. They had great obstacles. We got muddy. Although one trench we went through really stunk. Didn't like that as much. Overall, it was a great morning.
I also hurt my shoulder from people trying to help me up the warped wall near the end. It was funny because I felt something at the time, but it didn't bother me that much. It was a couple of hours later after I was home and showered that it really started to hurt. It bothered me for a couple of weeks, but it's healed up now, so no permanent damage, which is a good thing.
