May 2023 - Rugged Maniac 2023

(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.)

In May, I did my only mud run for 2023, Rugged Maniac.  It was once again about half an hour from me.  I had an added bonus this time.  Since it was held where I paddle board, I didn't have to pay to park.  My parking pass worked for that!

Unfortunately, I really hurt my shoulder just before the mile marker.  I was trying to crawl across floating platforms that we are supposed to run across, and the last platform moved away from the side.  I was stretched out like Superman, and I fell off, doing something to my shoulder.  It was really bothering me, but did I let that stop me?  Of course not!  I still completed it, doing everything I could to not hurt my shoulder any worse.

It's hard to judge how much fun I had with it since my shoulder really dampened my enjoyment.  But I did finish it, which was nice.  And then I went home, cleaned up, and went to the game day my friends are still hosting.
