Survivor Mud Run

 June 18th was the Survivor Mud Run at Remlinger Farms in Carnation. Even the  name sounds cold, wet and hard. It's a 5 K obstacle course in the mud. Sounds like fun right? OK, this is not something I would do, but Jennie and her  friends did. They started out with such enthusiasm and looking so cute...
and ended up a muddy mess. I don't see as much enthusiasm now either. The course was quite hard and very muddy. At one point Jennie and Nicole got stuck in the mud up to their knees and couldn't move. Someone had to come and pull them out. Since this was an obstacle course they were crawling under ropes, over walls, through culverts and tires, climbing up cargo nets and over mounds. Ah, did I mention this was all in the MUD! When Jennie got home she took a nice long, hot shower. It took a lot of scrubbing to get the mud off. She was still getting it out of her finger and toe nails the next day. The girls are now much smarter and wiser and probably won't do this again. Girls and mud just don't go together.
