Today I celebrated the first day of fall in a big way……

The dirty way!!!
My friend, the Italian, finally convinced me to run. (She has been for years now.)
And jump.
And climb.
And crawl.
And laugh.
And tackle.
And smear.
In mud.
For 3.2 miles.
IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!! I would do it a hundred times over. LOVED it.
And have now been informed I will be running the Tough Mudder.
Have I mentioned I don’t run. Pretty much hate it. (I like exercise, but not in that form.)
And then I took my first gas station shower ever. (Not bad, and pretty sure it was better than being hosed down by freezing cold water coming out of a truck.)
And then I spent the afternoon jumping on trampolines with my boys.
ALSO AWESOME!!!
Awesome day.
Though I did learn a few things about myself.
I still hate running. I am much older than I think I am. I am not the 17 year athlete I used to be. I’d like to do something about that. (first off…. lose a few pounds, or 20) and lastly. Mud and trampolines are fun for anyone of any age!
