The Dunlap Family Blog: Fun in the Mud

So I have told myself that I am going to get this butt back in shape no matter what it takes. Who cares if it seems that I have zero time during the day and my 9 month old decided to revert back to newborn days when she was up every 2 or 3 hours in the middle of the night. Who cares if I only have 35 minutes top at the gym before the nursery comes and gets me to tell me my baby girl won't stop crying. Who cares if I can't get through 40 minutes of Insanity workout at home without a child waking up, needing to be fed, wiping a butt, or just refusing to sit there and watch me and demanding on being held!!! I AM GOING TO DO THIS! So.... I talked a girlfriend into running the 8K Mud Run with me. Sounds fun right? Well it was but it also kicked my butt! Definitely didn't think through the whole running in sand thing. Did I train for this???? ummm did you read what I just wrote??? I have been trying to consistently take the girls out in the double stroller and get some miles in but usually only 2-3 miles tops before they are over it or someone has to pee and I have to book it back to the house before there is an accident! I totally jumped right into the race circuit picking this race to start off with but I am determined to do more Saturday morning races. It hurt like heck and I couldn't keep up with the girlfriend that I begged to do this with me but hopefully I will whip this body back into shape and consistently see some improvement. The competitive girl in me is mad at myself that I couldn't keep a steady pace. Then there is the out of shape mommy in me that is just happy I went out there and did it and completed it!

And what would this be without pictures of the Mud Run right?!...
