Mud Run 2012
Saturday I am volunteering to help out with a trail half marathon. This is the guys first time putting on a race and I am happy to help him at one of the aid stations.
On Sunday our running group is running at the Merrell Mud Run.
I’m beginning to wonder if my body just hates me signing up for these damn things because since my 7 mile trail run the other day I have been having cramps in my legs. It started in my left leg and then moved to both. I thought it might be shin splints, but I don’t think it is. Today they are just sore from cramping. Hopefully by Sunday morning they won’t feel so crunchy.
Victoria and Katie are running in their first 5k at the mud run. I’m super excited to be running along side of them.
They are both nervous, and I am too, kinda. Even though I did it last year. I hate crowds and this one is a big crowd. The Color Run had so many people, but Lester was there with me and it made it not so scary. He’ll be running this year for his first time. He’s going to do fine because he’s a strong runner and there is something comforting knowing that he’ll be waiting at the finish line with a muddy hug. … or at least I hope he is.
Hope you have a great and muddy weekend too.
