Survivor Mud Run!!!

So, our neighbor, George, asked Jeremy to do a crazy Mud Run last month held in Carnation.  Jeremy had already told a few other friends that were doing it that he wasn't going to, but FINALLY after the last request he decided to do it!  He got really pumped up the day of, and did great!  It was the perfect day to get muddy too.  It was typical Seattle weather...RAIN!  Jeremy's start time was 1:00, so he was lucky enough to get super muddy, being one of the last start times.  The rain had plenty of time to make mud extra muddy and the hundreds of people who ran the course didn't help either.  It was a 5K run with about 12 obsticles to go through on the way.  I don't know that I would have liked it, but it was fun to watch everyone else :)  The kids and I all went to cheer them on and wait at the finish line.  We waited a good 2 hours, but it was totally worth it, to see the aftermath of the race.  Poor Jeremy and George got to take a completely freezing shower afterwards that was provided for them, and Jeremy said that was probably the worst part of the whole day.  The coldest water ever. The kind that gave him a "brain freeze."  Fun stuff!  Maybe I'll get brave and do it next year...

Before the fun started!

Off they go!
We waited, oh so patiently.  The kids did really great, even though it was pouring down rain pretty much the whole time.

And, he did it!  Good look, Jer!


Wow!  Looks like it's shower time!

The kids were really excited to see Dad.  Notice, they kept their distance though!

After a long wait, the kids were ready for some hot dogs. Yum!

Tuckered out.
